During maple syrup season, in early April, the college runs special programs for the public at its well-equipped sugar bush. Plattsburgh 562-4200 Clinton Community College, a member unit of the State University of New York, is approximately 4 miles south of Plattsburgh on a forested site overlooking Lake Champlain. The main campus building, atop Bluff Point, offers a spectacular view. The college also is beefing up its facilities. The college provides offerings similar to those of other community colleges in the SUNY system, including liberal arts, business accounting, administration and office technology, criminal justice, nursing, medical laboratory technology and social services.
Additional housing is available nearby.
Although the campus is 141 acres, most activity takes place in 10 or fewer academic buildings. On-campus student housing is not available. Like other community colleges in the SUNY system, ACC maintains an open admissions policy for most high school graduates. Buildings are clustered together, making it easy to get around campus. Although the clusters create a somewhat boxy feel, the overall atmosphere is comfortable and the students and faculty friendly.
