Collin College, formerly known as the Collin County Community College District, CCCCD, or CCCC, is a community college district which serves Collin and Rockwall counties, located north and northeast of Dallas. Founded in 1985, the district has grown as the county has grown: from around 5,000 students in 1986 to nearly 53,000 credit and continuing education students annually. In March 2007, the college re-branded itself "Collin College." The college changed its domain name to collin.edu in January 2010.
As defined by the Texas Legislature, the official service area of Collin College is the following:
- all of Collin and Rockwall counties, and
- those portions of Denton County within the cities of Frisco and The Colony, and those portions of the county included within the Celina and Prosper school districts.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“Jerry: She’s one of those third-year girls that gripe my liver.
Milo: Third-year girls?
Jerry: Yeah, you know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture. They give me a swift pain.
Milo: Why?
Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
