Sacramento City College (SCC), part of the Los Rios Community College District, is a two-year community college in Sacramento, California. In addition to its main campus, SCC holds classes at its Davis and West Sacramento centers. SCC offers hundreds of academic study programs that lead to an associate's degree, as well as study programs geared for students transferring to four-year colleges and universities to complete a bachelor's degree. SCC also offers vocational training programs that lead to occupational degrees and certificates.
SCC encourages local high school students to enroll in its Advanced Education Enrichment program, once they reach 11th and 12th grade. This program allows them to take up to two classes at SCC per semester, which earn them academic credits to apply toward a college degree or certificate.
Distance education is offered at SCC, through online courses or a combination of online courses, onsite classes, and televised courses.

In 1936, Sacramento City College became part of the Sacramento City Unified School District. In 1964, SCC left the Sacramento City Unified School District to join the Los Rios Junior College District. Another college in this district was American River College. In 1970 the district was renamed to "Los Rios Junior College District." Cosumnes River College and Folsom Lake College soon joined the District.
