Modesto Junior College was one
of the first community colleges
established in California in 1921.
In 1964, what was once known
as the Modesto Junior College
District expanded into the Yosemite
Community College District.
Columbia College was established in 1968,
due to a notable increase in enrollment
and concern about the commute to attend
college in Modesto, the YCCD authorized the
formation of Columbia College to fill the need
for quality educational opportunities in the
foothill counties.
Responsive to Community Needs
The Yosemite Community College District provides general,
vocational and continuing education to students who
are pursuing job-qualifying skills, certificates, associate
degrees, enhancing the quality of their lives and preparing
for transfer to four-year institutions.
Community colleges serve as “open enrollment”
institutions. Community colleges do not deny admission to
students. Students register for classes that have available
space, usually on a first–come, first–served basis. In 201011, community need has led to enrollment demand far
outpacing available funding, and community colleges are
taking every step possible to serve every student because
educating residents is the most important investment our
State can make.
Modesto Junior College and Columbia College are known
for providing opportunities to students with a variety of
goals. Community colleges are open access institutions
and meet the needs of the community by offering:
• Affordable Tuition
• Convenient Campus Locations
• Open Admissions
• Comprehensive Course Offerings
• Partnerships with Local Industry

Doing More with Less
On June 30, 2011, Jack Scott, the former California Community
College system state Chancellor, declared that given the recent
lack of state financial resources, the legislative intent of the
budget for California Community Colleges was to prioritize
Transfer, Career Technical Education and Basic Skills courses.
Over the past several months, the YCCD has developed a plan
to address an unprecedented cut to its state apportionment
(revenue) scheduled for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The dramatic
cut to YCCD’s revenue was due to a $26 billion California budget
deficit. While the deficit is projected for the 2011-12 fiscal year,
YCCD adopted a multiyear deficit reduction plan which allows the
District to spread the state cut over two years rather than taking
the entire estimated $13.5 million cut in one year, 2011-12.
The District and its colleges identified “budget savings” in the
2010-11 fiscal year to be carried over into 2011-12 to help offset
the deep cuts required to meet the $13.5 million revenue shortfall
imposed by the state. “Budget savings” are one-time solutions
as opposed to actual “budget cuts”, which are usually ongoing in
nature.
Despite a cut in enrollment growth funding by the State, the
District continues to enroll more students each year than it gets
funded for by the State. The estimate in funded FTES (Full Time
Equivalent Students) is 16,422, while in the 2009-10 academic
year, YCCD served 18,516 FTES.

Community College Fees
The state currently has no official policy for setting
Community College fees. Over the past decade, fee levels
have fluctuated between $11 per unit and $46 per unit.
In July 2011, the California Legislature approved raising
community college fees statewide from $26/unit to $36/
unit. In Summer 2012, fees one again increased to $46 per
unit.
Even at the current $46 per unit ($1,380 for 30 units), fees
consistently have been among the most affordable in the
nation. The nationwide average for all other public two–
year colleges is $3,075 according to the State’s Legislative
Analyst’s Office.
Only three other states currently charge full–time students
less than $1,800 to attend a community college.
For the most financially needy community college
students, the Board of Governors’ (BOG) employs a fee
waiver program. This program is designed to ensure that
community college fees will not pose a financial barrier to
Californians who demonstrate financial need, by waiving
enrollment fees.
In 2009/10, over 16,000 BOG fee waivers were awarded at
YCCD .

In order to meet the needs of our students and the communities
we serve, it has always been an attribute of the California
Community College system to maximize access, affordability,
diversity and equal opportunity for all Californians in pursuing
and obtaining a college education.
At $46 per unit, California Community Colleges are still the most
economical choice in higher education, nationwide. Among
public two-year colleges, fees have consistently been some of
the lowest in the country. A full–time student taking 30 units per
academic year pays only $1,380.
Distance Education
Distance Education was offered in 12 different Program Types at
Columbia College and 17 different Program Types at MJC in Fall
2011.
