Reid State Technical College will now be known as Reid State Community College after receiving approval from the Alabama Commission on Higher Education.
A press release from the school stated that a "final move" is anticipated in December by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
With the name change also comes new offerings with the expansion of the athletic programs, workforce development initiatives, and community-based programming.
“This is a transformational moment for our college, our students, and our community,” said Dr. Coretta Boykin, President of Reid State. “Becoming a community college means we can expand our academic offerings, support student-athletes with greater opportunities, and strengthen pathways for students to continue their education at four-year institutions."
"We are grateful for the support of the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees, Chancellor Jimmy H. Baker, and all other approving entities within this process.”
Additionally, there is expected to be a transferable Associate degree in Arts (AS) and Science (AA) beginning in January 2026, pending final approval.
