State Center Community College

What State Center Community College does

State Center Community College District (SCCCD) is a public California community college district founded in 1964 and headquartered at 1171 Fulton Street in Fresno. The District operates four community colleges (Fresno City College, Reedley College, Clovis Community College, and Madera Community College), the Madera Community College at Oakhurst satellite center, and the Career and Technology Center, collectively enrolling approximately 70,172 students and serving 1.7 million residents across more than 5,500 square miles spanning Fresno and Madera counties and parts of Kings and Tulare counties. All four colleges are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC/WASC), with the Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) pathway providing guaranteed admission to California State Universities. Educational offerings span associate degrees, certificates, career technical education, apprenticeship programs, dual enrollment, corporate training, and international education.

The District's operational technology stack is a conventional multi-campus educational ERP and services platform rather than a differentiated proprietary product: Canvas (Instructure) for learning management, uPortal/MyPortal for single sign-on, Colleague/Datatel ERP, Self-Service for student information, TeamDynamix for support ticketing, Maxient for conduct and whistleblower reporting, NEOGOV for HR/recruitment, and UKG for time and attendance (in pilot as of September 2025). An AI chatbot is deployed for student services, with the District transitioning to a ChatGPT-integrated platform in 2026 after public reporting exposed accuracy issues with prior chatbot deployments. Revenue is derived from public funding sources (California state apportionment, local property taxes, federal financial aid), supplemental parking permit fees (operated by third-party Parking Management Bureau at $20-$80 per permit), Foundation donations and scholarships, and corporate training and apprenticeship fees. The District employs 1,001-5,000 staff across faculty, classified, management, confidential, and administrator categories, with collective bargaining agreements in force or under negotiation with the State Center Federation of Teachers (SCFT), California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 363, and the Peace Officers Association (POA). A Chancellor Search is underway as of March 2026.
