Students

Campus life can be rewarding for students. Many student organizations can be found on the campuses as well as performing arts, and Panthers athletics. The Wignell Museum/Gallery is located on the main campus in Rancho Cucamonga, providing anywhere from four to five exhibitions per year, as well as family programs, performances, and lectures.

The college takes part in a program called the One Book, One College Committee. This committee is a collaborative effort among faculty, staff, students, and administration in which every year a different fiction or non-fiction book is chosen to be read by everyone. Then each semester the committee holds several free events related to the book. In December, the committee votes on a new book.

There are three separate campuses: Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, and Fontana.
