Seattle Central College's shared governance model prioritizes meaningful collaborations among administrators, students, faculty, and staff. Through a structure of recommending councils and committees, students and college employees provide guidance and voice on policies and practices, planning, and resource allocation to the President's Cabinet.

Accreditation Steering Committee

The Accreditation Steering Committee, comprised of faculty, staff, and administrators, is tasked with defining mission fulfillment, annually reviewing progress towards meeting mission fulfillment, making recommendations for furthering mission fulfillment, and contributing to Accreditation Reports.

Climate Committee

The Climate Committee brings together students, staff, and faculty to respond directly to comments and feedback gathered through recent campus climate surveys. Centering community voice, the committee reflects the lived experiences, shared values, and institutional needs across Seattle Central. The committee works to identify clear priorities and recommend actions that strengthen inclusion, belonging, and overall campus climate.

College Council

College Council is a participatory body that advises the President and President's Cabinet on important issues, including providing vital input to the annual budget and planning processes. Council's membership includes representation from all employee types from all areas of campus. Council members engage their respective constituencies to voice on policy formation, resource allocation, operational planning, and other institution-wide issues.

Curriculum Coordinating Council

The Curriculum Coordinating Council (CCC+) is a representative body that gives voice to all faculty and exercises a major role in the policies, decisions, and processes related to curriculum and instruction at Seattle Central College.
