San Jose Evergreen Community College District

What San Jose Evergreen Community College District does

San Jose Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) is a publicly governed California community college district operating under the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. Founded in 1921 with the establishment of San Jose City College, the district operates two colleges — San Jose City College (founded 1921) and Evergreen Valley College (founded 1975) — plus the Community College Center for Economic Mobility (formerly Workforce Institute, established 1988) and a Milpitas Extension site. SJECCD serves residents of San Jose, Milpitas, and surrounding South Bay communities with associate degrees, university transfer preparation, career education, workforce training, dual-enrollment programs, and support for undocumented and DACA-recipient students. The district's stated mission emphasizes opportunity, equity, and social justice, with a focus on students facing educational and socioeconomic challenges.

SJECCD's core service delivery is built on a conventional higher-education technology stack: Canvas LMS for online and hybrid course delivery (with Smarthinking online tutoring and Learning Tools Interoperability for third-party integrations), Ellucian Colleague ERP for student information, financial aid, HR, payroll, and business services, Precision Campus for student data dashboards (enrollments, retention, awards), the CROA (Colleague Reporting and Operational Analytics) data warehouse for reporting and program review, CourseLeaf for curriculum management, TeamDynamix for IT service management, Microsoft 365 for productivity with Microsoft Azure AD single sign-on, and Fortinet VPN with YubiKey physical keys and Microsoft/Google Authenticator MFA for secure remote access. An institutional Data Governance Framework with assigned Data Stewards enforces FERPA-compliant data integrity across the Colleague and CROA systems. The district is compliant with Section 508, WCAG 2.0 Levels A and AA, and ADA for web accessibility.

SJECCD does not operate a commercial revenue model. As a California community college district, it is funded through state apportionment, property taxes, student fees established by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (applied via the CCCApply state common application system), and federal grants. The SJECCD Foundation supports fundraising and student scholarships. Distribution is via two physical campuses (San Jose City College at 2100 Moorpark Avenue; Evergreen Valley College at 3095 Yerba Buena Road), the District Office (40 S. Market Street, San Jose), the Milpitas Extension, the statewide CCCApply system, and online/distance channels via Canvas LMS. The district employs 101-250 staff (excluding faculty and adjuncts) and maintains infrastructure spanning over 500,000 square feet cleaned daily across classrooms, offices, restrooms, laboratories, and athletic facilities.
