What programs of study does Clinton offer?
Please review our current programs at: http://www.clinton.edu/Common/Programs/Content/Section/1/Default.xhtmlAfter being accepted, what should I expect?
Each semester, newly accepted full-time students pay a fee of intent of $50 toward the cost of tuition. Once we receive this deposit, we send you information/dates for placement testing and Registration. We have several opportunities from May - August for the fall semester and October - January for the Spring semester to complete your Placement Testing and register for courses. In addition, we offer limited dates which allow you the opportunity to complete both the test and registration on the same day.
New full-time students will meet with an advisor to discuss program requirements and specific course offerings. With assistance from an advisor, you will select courses. Your advisor will then create your schedule based on your requests and course availability. New part-time students are advised through the Counseling & Advisement Office. We encourage all students to complete this process as soon as possible. The sooner you complete these requirements, the more options you have for course selection.Do I need immunization records?
Yes. New York State law requires students born on or after January 1, 1957 to show proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella. Your high school, previous college or physician's office are usually the best options to locate your immunization history.
In addition, all Residence Hall Students must provide proof of a current (within past 12 months), negative Tuberculosis test before moving into the residence hall. If the TB test was positive, proof of a subsequent negative chest x-ray must be submitted. If you have questions, DO NOT WAIT, contact the College Health Office.Do I have to attend Orientation if I previously attended another college?
Yes. All full-time students who are new to CCC must attend our unique Orientation program. There are several orientation dates scheduled during the month of August, please contact the Counseling & Advisement Office at 562-4199 for further information.How do I get textbooks?
Textbooks can be purchased at the CCC Bookstore. Textbooks go on sale approximately 1 week prior to the start of the semester. Bring your semester schedule into the bookstore and the staff will let you know what textbooks are required for your courses.Can I change my schedule after registration?
Prior to the start of the semester, if changes need to be made to your schedule, you should contact the Counseling & Advisement Office at 562-4199 for assistance. Once the semester begins, students will be able to alter their schedule during the add/drop period with their advisor.Is there tutoring available if I need extra assistance?
Yes. The Tutoring Center at Clinton Community College helps students to be better learners and to be more successful in their courses. All services offered through the Center are free to full and part-time students taking day or evening courses at CCC.
The Center is located on the 4th floor of the main building, room 412. No appointment is necessary, but for more information, phone: (518) 562-4250 or 562-4251.

A.S. and A.A. degrees are designed to prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges to pursue a baccalaureate degree. The A.A.S. degree is designed to prepare students for career opportunities and employment. There may be situations when A.A.S. prepared students pursue bachelor's degrees, however, these students should work closely with a faculty advisor or the Career Planning Office.
What is a 2+2 program?
CCC has worked with several Bachelor's degree granting institutions to allow you to begin your study at CCC and transfer easily to a four-year institution (usually after two years and completion of your Associate degree) to complete the Bachelor's degree of your choice. The written agreements which we sign with these institutions ensure that you can begin any of a vast number of programs at Clinton Community College and then transfer to a Bachelor's degree level institution to complete your bachelor's degree work in your chosen field of study. Doing so makes earning a Bachelor's degree more convenient and will likely save you a considerable amount of money. Wherever you are headed as you pursue a college degree, your pathway can begin at Clinton Community College!
What is Joint Admissions?
A joint admissions program has been established between Clinton Community College (CCC) and Plattsburgh State University (PSU). Students applying to CCC may request to be jointly admitted to PSU. When accepted into the joint admissions program, the student is accepted into an Associate Degree program at CCC and a Baccalaureate Degree program at PSU. Upon completion of the Associate Degree, the student is guaranteed a place in the junior class in a parallel program at PSU. Students in Communications Disorders and Sciences, Nursing, Social Work and all Teacher Education programs must maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Students may enter the program either during the pre-admission phase or during their first two semesters at CCC. CCC students in the Joint Admissions Program are considered as PSU students and will be allowed to participate in most PSU functions. The CCC student must complete his/her Associate Degree prior to transferring to PSU.What kind of housing do you have?
