Located in the city of Riverside, California, the Riverside Community College's first campus opened in 1916 on the site of the former Poly High School and today serves more than 35,000 students each semester. Students attending RCC can choose to earn an associate’s degree, transfer to a four-year college or university or earn a career certificate that prepares them to enter the workforce. RCC maintains strong programs in liberal arts and science, athletics, and performing arts and vocational education. RCC is home to the world class Winter Guard "Fantasia", as well as the award winning RCC Marching Band, Drumline and award-winning student newspaper "Viewpoints". The college is home to the School for Nursing. RCC is one of California’s leading community colleges and is a landmark in downtown Riverside. RCC is also home to the RCC President’s Office and the Board of Trustees.

In addition to the main campus located in downtown Riverside, there are also satellite campuses located in Moreno Valley, Norco, Ben Clark Public Safety Training Center, and the Rubidoux Annex in Rubidoux.

On University Avenue at Fairmont Boulevard, RCC plans to open the Riverside School for the Arts by 2012. The $57 million dollar project will combine classrooms, studios, and digital media labs with space for public exhibitions and performances. The school is expected to serve 1,600 students preparing for careers in the film industry and act as a feeder school for the film and visual culture BA program at UC Riverside.

Construction relies in part on money from a $10.4 billion state bond measure, Prop. 1D, which voters approved in November 2006. RCC must contribute $16 million for the construction of the school as a match to the state bond measure's $41 million.
