Zoom is the video conferencing tool used by CCC for meetings and classes to broadcast remotely. CCC’s three campuses, Lone Tree, Fourth Street, and Page, all have Zoom-enabled and Zoom Room classrooms. These classrooms allow students to participate in classes from long distances through satellite sites and personal devices. Additionally, various rooms throughout the CCC campuses are Zoom-enabled which allows meeting participants to join from long distances, and with personal devices.
Faculty, Staff, and Students can create a Zoom account and sign in by going to our Zoom Sign In page and logging in with the Comet ID and Password.
