The College has a head count of approximately 3,000 students each academic year. Approximately 54% of these students reside in Montgomery County.

The College offers numerous activity and athletic scholarships. The College also offers endowed scholarships, Presidential Scholarships for academically advanced students, Technical Scholarships for those attending the two technical campuses, and Gold Card Scholarships for community members over the age of 55 who desire to take interest classes tuition free.

The College also participates in student aid programs directed by the U.S. Department of Education including Pell Grants, loans and work study.

The College is guided by a six member Board of Trustees. The trustees serve four-year terms with public elections for half of the Board every two years. The Board sets College policy and determines the local property tax mill levy.

The College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. The school has a 10-year accreditation which will be up for renewal in the 2024-2025 school year. The College has been accredited since 1972.

Coffeyville Community College had its beginning in 1921 when enabling legislation in the Kansas Legislature created the school. Then on February 12,1923, the Board of Education voted a resolution to present a proposal to the voters to establish a junior college in Coffeyville. On April 3, the proposal passed in every precinct with a vote of 2,322 to 656. September 1923 twenty-five students with six instructors enrolled tuition free at the new Coffeyville Junior College, the seventh in Kansas, in three rooms of the Washington High School at 10th and Willow. The library had 3,500 volumes and the curriculum included 26 courses in seven departments. May 24, 1925, thirteen girls and one boy comprised the first graduation class.

In the spring of 1931, the college of 160 students was the first Kansas junior college to have its own building with 11 lecture rooms, a library and auditorium. The high school students moved into a new building, leaving the junior college students with their own building.

Coffeyville gained national recognition in 1938 and 1939 by winning its first national championship in debate. Karl Wilson, who for more than forty years had contributed to the success of the College, was debate coach. He became Dean of the College in 1942 and served until 1967.

Are Online Classes right for me?

• Do you enjoy the challenge of independent learning?
• Do you communicate effectively through written communication?
• Do you need flexibility in your class schedule?
• Are you self-motivated to meet class deadlines?
• Do you feel that your personality lends itself to being organized?

If you are able to answer "yes" to all of the above questions, then Coffeyville Community College's online course offerings may be right for you. The online class experience does offer the student the flexibility of accessing the course and course subject matter at convenient times and locations.

However, this convenience does come at the price of daily face to face communication, explanations, reminders, etc. that you would receive in the classical classroom setting. CCC's online classes are not for everybody, only those individuals with the combination of strong study skills and a motivation to succeed will be successful.

How are online courses offered at CCC?

Online courses at CCC are offered using the Moodle online course platform. Access into the Moodle software is accessible from our main college website through the Online Classes link.
