Evergreen Valley College

What Evergreen Valley College does

Evergreen Valley College (EVC) is a public community college founded in 1975 and located on a 175-acre campus at 3095 Yerba Buena Road in the eastern foothills of San Jose, California. EVC operates as a college within the San José Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) and is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the WASC. It offers Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) awards, plus certificates, organized into six Guided Pathways clusters: Arts and Media; Behavioral Sciences and Humanities; Business; Health and Human Services; Industrial Technology and Transportation; and STEM. 63% of associate degrees awarded are ADT awards, providing guaranteed transfer to the California State University system.

EVC's core technology stack is composed of standard third-party higher-education platforms rather than proprietary systems. Students interact with the Self Service portal (a district-wide student information system) for registration, grades, transcripts, and financial aid; Canvas LMS for online course delivery and orientation; Microsoft SSO for authentication; Parchment for official transcript ordering; MyPath: Career Coach for guided-pathway enrollment and career assessment; COMEVO for online new-student orientation in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese; and Maxient for centralized student-conduct, Title IX, accessibility, and support-referral reporting. No public-facing API, proprietary AI models, or in-house data-science assets are disclosed.

EVC's revenue model is that of a public California community college: the dominant funding stream is state apportionment tied to Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTES), supplemented by enrollment fees, the California Promise Grant (formerly BOG waiver), non-resident tuition surcharges, federal Title IV aid, and targeted federal emergency grants. In-state enrollment is priced at $377 per unit, with non-residents paying an additional $358 per unit. During the COVID-19 pandemic, EVC administered $12,210,603 in CARES Act, CRRSAA, and ARP emergency financial aid grants to roughly 12,210 students across four terms. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, with prospective students reached through the college website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr), local high school dual-enrollment partnerships, and University of Phoenix transfer workshops.
