The California Virtual Campus – Online Education Initiative (CVC-OEI) is a collaborative effort among California Community Colleges (CCCs) to ensure that significantly more students are able to complete their educational goals by increasing both access to and success in high-quality online courses.

Finish Faster with CVC Exchange

The California Virtual Campus (CVC) Exchange allows students currently enrolled in a California Community College to instantly enroll in online courses offered at eligible Teaching colleges without filling out a separate application.

Through CVC Exchange, students can be confident they can get the class they need thanks to real-time seat counts. Chaffey is part of the exchange as a home and teaching college.

HOME COLLEGE – College from which students enter the CVC Exchange to take courses through other colleges.

TEACHING COLLEGE – College that offers courses via the CVC Exchange to students from other participating colleges.

Academic transcripts are automatically transferred between the two schools. Online courses through CVC Exchange are the same cost as a student’s Home College. There are no additional costs to use this service.
