History
In 1964 STLCC built three campuses: Florissant Valley Community College in Ferguson, Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, and Meramec Community College in Kirkwood.
Over the objections of the faculty and student body, in 1976 STLCC administration changed the names of the individual campuses to the format St. Louis Community College-Campus Name.
In August 2007, STLCC opened a fourth campus, St. Louis Community College-Wildwood, in Wildwood.
In addition, there are four satellite facilities throughout the area.

Organization and administration
Jeff Pittman, Ph.D., began his role as chancellor of STLCC in July 2015. Pittman previously served as the statewide vice president of corporate college services and online education at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and has served in wide variety of academic leadership roles for the college for the past 27 years in four geographic regions and the system office. Most recently, Pittman was instrumental in the reorganization and development of a lean organization for the delivery of Corporate College customized workforce training and services to business, industry, and individuals throughout the state of Indiana. Pittman also served as chancellor of Ivy Tech's Wabash Valley Region for 11 years, and simultaneously worked as the statewide vice provost of distance education for three of the years. Under Pittman's leadership, the college's enrollment in online education doubled from more than 32,000 students per year in 2008 to 69,000 students in 2010. Pittman's doctorate in educational leadership, administration, and foundations is from Indiana State University. His master's degree in human resource development is from Indiana State University, and his bachelor's degree in business is from Indiana University.
