Situated on the ancestral homeland of the Tongva Peoples, Chaffey College is one of the oldest community colleges in California and serves a variety of communities, workforce partners, and students. While other community colleges are often named after their geographic area, Chaffey College is named after local innovator, George Chaffey, who, among other things, implemented street lights in the city of Ontario.

Like its namesake, we are known for an innovative culture, dynamic environment, and future-mindedness. We remain closely tied to our community and seek leaders who will join us in our quest to provide responsive and supportive programming to engage and improve the communities we serve. The entire campus community aspires to consistently fulfill the vision that Chaffey College "improves lives through education."
Chaffey College celebrates the diverse communities it serves. As a federally recognized Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), Chaffey’s student population includes over 64% identifying as Latinx, 13% White, 7% African-American/Black, 6% Asian, multi-racial/other (5%) and smaller percentages of Filipino and Pacific Islanders (2%), Native American (0.40%), or decline to state (2.6%). Forty percent of our students are first-generation college students, and approximately 62% of students are eligible for some form of financial aid.

The current student population identifies as 59% female and 38% male with approximately 3% who either decline to state or identify as nonbinary. Approximately 5% of Chaffey’s students utilize Disabled Programs and Services for support. To support the diverse needs of these populations and their intersections, the College has developed a variety of robust equity-driven efforts including the President’s Equity Council, Center for Culture and Social Justice, Panther Care, Rising Scholars, PRISM, Puente Project, UMOJA, EOPS/CARE, Disabled Programs and Services, and CalWORKs.
