Organizational Structure
The North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) is governed by elected trustees who establish all policies that guide the general operation of the District. Student trustees, representing each of the credit colleges, also sit on the Board.
The NOCCCD Chancellor has the responsibility for carrying out the decisions and directions of the Board. The college presidents and president of continuing education oversee the operations of their respective areas and work closely with the chancellor in the management of the District.
