Admission centers were opened around the state but the classes were held in both traditional and non-traditional settings. Most classes were held in high schools and vocational centers, turning them into intergenerational facilities. However you might have found a pastry class in the local bakery or auto repair being taught at a local garage.

Today the Community College of Vermont (CCV) is part of the Vermont State College system, providing quality, affordable education to nearly 8,000 students each year.

CCV does not have a central campus with housing facilities. Instead students go to school where they live and work, at 12 learning centers around the state and via the Internet. There is a center within 25 miles of every Vermonter.

CCV is an open-admissions college. The students range in age from 14 to 78. They enroll for a single course or full-time study, choosing a pace that works for them.

CCV was a pioneer in giving students college credit for their real world work through the Assessment of Prior Learning. The college realized that many people put off college to raise families, pursue business or career paths and now want to earn a degree. These returning students take a course where they discover the learning they've received through experience. They develop a portfolio of work and learning for which they receive equivalent college credit toward a degree.

Online Learning
CCV has adapted with the times to reach more Vermonters. The school now offers the most extensive online education in the state, with over 150 online courses (1,556 course placements), and providing state-of-the-art library and academic support services to these students.
