OUR PHILOSOPHY
CCD is a comprehensive, student and learning-centered urban college. It provides open access and admission
to a diverse population. CCD offers lifelong learning opportunities anyway, anyplace and anytime, along with the appropriate academic and personal support to any learner who asks for help to achieve success. CCD students are full partners in a collaborative learning experience.
Educated people make an impact on the economy, their local communities and the nation. CCD continually studies the local economy to provide appropriate transfer educational and occupational programs that meet community and workforce needs and create positive change in individual learners.
CCD'S MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Community College of Denver (CCD) is to provide open access and quality undergraduate education through a process and experience that affords every student the opportunities and services to succeed, graduate with a two-year degree and transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree or join the workforce. Programs and strategies that promote access and success for underserved students are the foundation of CCD operations.
Community College of Denver (CCD) is a community college located in Denver, Colorado, United States. The main campus is at Auraria Campus, and it has five branch campuses named East, Lowry, North, Parkway and SouthWest. CCD focuses on underserved, first-generation and minority students. In 2006, nearly 60% of CCD students were first-generation and 50% qualified for financial aid.
The school's former President, Dr. Christine Johnson, was placed on administrative leave and eventually fired in June 2007 after allegations surfaced that she improperly authorized an adjunct faculty member to teach a math and a physics class, directed the school's CFO to underreport the school's reserves, and did not ensure that the school's financial reporting was accurate and timely. The United States Department of Education is currently investigating allegations of financial aid fraud at the school.
CCD is presently conducting a presidential search.
