Overview

  • Riverside Community College District with markers for Riverside City, Moreno Valley and Norco colleges

    Three colleges in Riverside County

    Riverside City College (RCC), Moreno Valley College (MVC) and Norco College (NC) provide university transfer, career education and student services in western Riverside County.

  • The five Riverside Community College District trustee areas

    Five areas elect five trustees

    Voters in each trustee area elect one board member for a four-year term. Elections are staggered, so only some seats are on the ballot in each regular election cycle.

    A district serving 450 square miles

    The district serves western Riverside County and became an independent district in 1964. Local college instruction began in 1916, connecting today’s three-college system to more than a century of education.

What the district is responsible for

Learning and student support

The district’s colleges provide transfer education, career programs and student services. College presidents lead their campuses; the chancellor coordinates district operations.

Public money and facilities

Trustees adopt the district budget, approve contracts and property decisions, and oversee the chancellor. Bond programs support long-term campus improvements.

A public governing board

Five elected trustees act together on district policy. A student trustee brings student perspectives and casts a separate advisory vote.

Education leadership

Local decisions, statewide connections

RCCD has its own elected board and chancellor. The California Community Colleges Board of Governors and Chancellor’s Office provide state-level policy, funding and system coordination.
