Corning Community College

What Corning Community College does

SUNY Corning Community College is a public community college located in Corning, New York, operating within the State University of New York (SUNY) system of 64 institutions. Founded in 1956-1957, the college serves primarily regional students in New York's Southern Tier, offering more than 30 degree programs across transfer pathways (A.S., A.A.), direct-to-career credentials (A.A.S.), certificates, and microcredentials. Student segments include recent high school graduates, adult learners, veterans, distance learners, and dual-enrollment high school students served through ACE and BOCES partnerships. Unique facility assets include a Digital Dome, Makerspace, Eileen Collins Observatory, and Spencer Crest Nature Center, alongside the Perry Hall residence hall and Red Barons athletics programs.

The college's core technology infrastructure comprises the Brightspace D2L learning management system for online and hybrid course delivery (supporting 14 programs at 65%-100% online availability), the MyCorning student portal with two-factor authentication, Ellucian Banner ERP for student information, Parchment for electronic transcript processing, and BankMobile for Title IV financial aid disbursement. NC-SARA participation authorizes multi-state distance education delivery. The institution is MSCHE-accredited, FERPA and PCI-DSS compliant, and holds VA approval for GI Bill benefits.

Revenue is generated through tuition and fees (differentiated by in-state vs. out-of-state residency), state appropriations via the SUNY system, federal financial aid (FAFSA, Pell Grants, TAP), and over 90 institutional scholarships administered through a single common application. The SUNY Reconnect initiative provides tuition-free associate degrees for adult learners in high-demand fields. A Workforce Solutions division and the Elmira Academic & Workforce Development Center extend into non-degree, short-term training revenue. Enrollment advising, EOP support, veterans services, and an Enrollment Advisement Center structure the go-to-market motion as direct-to-consumer admissions supplemented by high school, BOCES, and community partnerships.
