Community Members
Welcome to CCC! You don't have to be a student here to take advantage of our small business resources, student performances or personal enrichment classes like painting and yoga. There's always a lot going on our three campuses in Clackamas County. Community is our middle name and we're glad you're here.
Senior discounts
Clackamas Community College offers two tuition benefit options for our lifelong learners as well as community education courses. Depending on how you want to style your academic journey, you can take advantage of cheaper tuition rates as early as your 62nd birthday.
Classes and their descriptions are available on our Schedule of Classes page. If you would like to receive physical copies of each upcoming term's schedule of classes one week after it becomes available online, please subscribe to our mailing list.
