History
Clovis Community College was established in 1961 as a branch campus of Eastern New Mexico University in conjunction with the Clovis Municipal Schools. The current campus was constructed in 1978 and rests on {{convert|25|acre|m2}} of land donated by Ervin Schepps. Over time, CCC grew to cover {{convert|100|acre|km2}}. In 1990, local voters established CCC as a locally governed independent community college.{{Cite web|title=Clovis Community College|url=https://www.sfcc.edu/clovis-community-college/|access-date=2021-04-07|website=Santa Fe Community College|language=en}}
In recent years, CCC has made efforts to modernize the curriculum including the addition of online courses and computer-based learning. In the fall of 2006, students were issued school email addresses to improve communication and online education.
In the summer of 2006, CCC was assured by the New Mexico Board of Education that its funding would not be cut for at least one year, despite recent enrollment declines. Similar declines were seen throughout the state, but CCC suffered a loss of over 10% from 2004 to 2006.{{Cite web|last=Leggett|first=Shellye|date=2020-09-17|title=Colleges, universities seeing decrease in fall enrollment|url=https://www.koat.com/article/colleges-universities-seeing-decrease-in-fall-enrollment/34048478|access-date=2021-04-07|website=KOAT|language=en}}
