The North County Campus is a community college in the truest sense of the word, giving residents of northern San Luis Obispo County the opportunity to pursue higher education close to home and employment. Unique among California community colleges, the site was established almost exclusively with private gift support and prides itself in continuing the Cuesta College tradition of excellence. Instruction and Services are currently offered in modular buildings.
