Tidewater Community College wants students of the shuttered ITT Technical Institute to know they have an option, and it’s considerably cheaper.
ITT left 559 students in Norfolk in the lurch when the for-profit nationwide chain of schools closed suddenly on Tuesday. U.S. regulators had earlier banned the school from accepting new students who required federal student loans.
Former ITT students are invited to a special in-person information session from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at TCC’s downtown Norfolk campus. TCC spokesman James Toscano said interested students should bring a photo ID, a list of courses taken at ITT Tech and as much information as they could about their ITT time, including unofficial transcripts and military service records if that applies.
