Yuba College

What Yuba College does

Yuba College is a public community college founded in 1927 and operated by the Yuba Community College District under the California Community College Chancellor's Office. It serves approximately 9,000 students annually across two physical locations — a 160-acre main campus in Marysville (opened 1962, 23 buildings) and the Sutter County Center in Yuba City (opened 2012) — and through Canvas-based online distance learning. The college delivers 115 degree and certificate options across seven academic areas: Applied Technology/Transportation/Culinary Arts, Arts/Language/Communication, Business, Health and Medical Careers, Public Safety, Science and Math, and Social Science/Education, organized to support both direct workforce entry via career-technical education and transfer to four-year universities through the Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T/AS-T) articulation pathway with the CSU and UC systems.

The institution's underlying technology stack is composed of commodity, off-the-shelf platforms: WordPress and WP Engine for the public website, Canvas LMS for course delivery, Self-Service for student registration, CCCApply for admissions, the National Student Clearinghouse for transcripts, and Zoom for virtual counseling and synchronous online instruction. No proprietary technology platform or in-house API is documented. The institution is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC).

Yuba College generates revenue primarily through California state apportionment (allocated per Full-Time Equivalent Student) supplemented by federal and state financial aid programs (Pell Grants, Cal Grants, California College Promise Grant) and direct student charges set by the State of California. Student-facing fees include a $46 per-unit enrollment fee, $322-$329 per-unit non-resident surcharge, $10/semester student health fee, and $40/semester parking decal; transcripts are free for the first two copies and $5 thereafter. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via open enrollment, with student acquisition driven by high school dual-enrollment partnerships, website admissions, community outreach, and transfer pathways to four-year universities. The institution has been recognized by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program as one of the Top 200 community colleges in the U.S. and was approved for a new Interim President (Karissa Marino Morehouse) effective July 2026.
