Preparing Students for a Successful Future
High-Quality Education for Local Students
Chaffey College believes in improving students’ lives through education. Established in 1883, it provides high-quality, affordable higher education for all district residents, including working adults and returning veterans.
Chaffey College is an essential resource for students seeking a vocational/career technical education that provides the skills needed to compete for good-paying, modern careers or jobs.
Chaffey College provides high-quality education that prepares students to be transfer or job ready. Educated and job-trained students have better and healthier lives and contribute to their local economies more. In fact, a third-party economic study revealed how the college works to better serve communities through contributing nearly $600 million in added income, student and alumni spending in the cities it serves.
Local Funding to Help Repair, Upgrade and Improve Chaffey College
Several buildings at Chaffey College were built in the 1960s and need basic health, safety and technology improvements. Because of the changing economy, our classrooms and labs must be upgraded to provide students with up-to-date skills and access to modern technology.
The Chaffey College Governing Board has placed a Measure P on the November 2018 ballot. The measure would accomplish the following:
- Upgrading classrooms, labs and technology to help prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities
- Repair deteriorating gas, electrical and sewer lines and fix leaky roofs
- Upgrade job training facilities for manufacturing, skilled trades and health occupations
- Improve student safety and security systems
- Remove asbestos, lead paint and mold
- Upgrade science, computer and technology labs
- Improve training facilities for nurses and emergency first responders
- Upgrade and expand facilities for veterans' services and job training
