Clinton Community College

What Clinton Community College does

Clinton Community College (CCC) is a two-year public community college in Plattsburgh, New York, chartered by the State of New York and operated as part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system since 1966 (first classes 1969). It awards associate degrees (AA, AS, AAS, AOS) and certificates across liberal arts, business, nursing, criminal justice, computer information systems, human services, and technical disciplines, and serves Clinton County and the broader North Country region of New York. Since August 2025, CCC is co-located on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus, giving its students access to university services (housing, dining, Fitness Center, Career Development, Student Health and Counseling) while retaining community-college affordability and small class sizes. The technology stack is conventional education infrastructure: Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive with 1TB per student), SUNY's mylearning/D2L learning management system, a Student Portal for SIS functions, and SpiceWorks/TeamDynamix for IT ticketing, with multi-factor authentication required for employee access. The EdSights "Calvin" chatbot is the single named AI capability, operating as an opt-out student-resource assistant.

The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing (IAM), opened in 2017 at 53 Clinton Point Drive, is a state-of-the-art facility with electrical and machining training equipment, computer labs, classrooms, and distance-learning technology, functioning as the college's primary workforce-development engine. Through programs such as Pre-Employment Training (free via grant funding), Advanced Manufacturing Essential Skills (AMES), Skill Up North Country, the SUNY Apprenticeship Program, and the newly announced Women in Manufacturing and Technology initiative (backed by $50,000 in state funding), CCC delivers non-credit workforce training to adult learners, veterans, unemployed and underemployed residents, and regional employer workforces. Operationally, CCC is governed by a Board of Trustees (Chair: Devi Momot), led since June 2026 by President Ken Knelly (previously Acting President and Administrator in Charge), with VP D. Billy Jones heading Strategic Initiatives and Workforce Development; the college is accredited by MSCHE, which in June 2022 placed the institution on a Non-Compliance Warning status that remains a material risk factor in the disclosed record.

CCC's revenue model is characteristic of a public community college: state appropriations through SUNY, local-sponsor support from Clinton County, tuition and fees (standard SUNY rates, SUNY Reconnect free-tuition pathway, new SUNY Military Tuition Rate from Spring 2026), grants (e.g., $10,000 from the Adirondack Community Foundation, $50,000 NYS assembly funding), and auxiliary services accessed via SUNY Plattsburgh. Customer segments span four primary personas — Traditional College Students pursuing associate degrees, Adult Learners and Workforce Development participants, Military and Veterans, and Prospective Students/Families — with a secondary business segment of Regional Employers and Businesses served through IAM partnerships. Distribution runs through on-campus instruction at the George Moore Building (46 Beekman Street), IAM, the nursing/EMS center at Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, distance learning, high-school dual-enrollment (CAP) and CV-TEC Applied Engineering pipelines, and direct employer partnerships via Clinton County IDA and the SUNY Apprenticeship Program.
