California Virtual Campus

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.
