  7. History of Shelton State • MARTIN CAMPUS Shelton State Community College is part of a state system of public colleges. This system originated in the Alabama Trade School and Junior College Authority Act enacted by the state legislature in May 1963. The governing board for the institutions within this system is the Alabama State Board of Education (ASBE) and the Chancellor, Alabama College System, Department of Postsecondary Education, is the chief executive officer of the system. Shelton State Community College was established by resolution of the ASBE on January 1, 1979. That resolution combined two existing institutions: Shelton State Technical College, established in 1952, and the Tuscaloosa branch campus of Brewer State Junior College, an institution whose main campus was located in Fayette, Alabama. The Tuscaloosa branch campus of Brewer State had been in operation since 1972. • C. A. FREDD CAMPUSIn 1994, Shelton State Community College consolidated with C. A. Fredd State Technical College, another public two year college located in Tuscaloosa. The new institution created by the consolidation retained the name of Shelton State Community College, and the president of Shelton State was named president of the consolidated institution. The institution now called Shelton State Community College, C. A. Fredd Campus, was created by the state legislature in 1963 as Tuscaloosa State Trade School. In 1974, the institution became Tuscaloosa State Technical College and was authorized by the ASBE to grant the associate degree. In 1976, the college name was changed to C. A. Fredd State Technical College to honor the first president of the institution. C. A. Fredd State Technical College was recognized as one of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The C. A. Fredd Campus of Shelton State Community College maintains that identity and continues the specific HBCU mission of promoting educational access and opportunity for all students in a culturally diverse community.

  8. History of Shelton State • THE ALABAMA STATE FIRE COLLEGEThe Alabama Fire College and Personnel Standards Commission/Shelton State Community College is responsible for training the thousands of paid and volunteer fire fighters, industrial fire protection personnel, rescue squad members, and emergency medical personnel throughout the state of Alabama as mandated in The Code of Alabama, 1975, 36 32 1 through 36 32 12, which also requires certification for paid fire fighters as a condition of employment. The Alabama State Fire College was created by Act Number 373, Regular Session, 1955 of the Alabama Legislature. However, a program of fire department/public safety training and education had been in existence since 1935 under the administration of the Trade and Industrial Education Department, Division of Vocational Education, State Department of Education. In 1975, the Alabama Legislature passed the Alabama Fire Fighters Personnel Standards and Education Act. This much needed legislation served as the catalyst requiring formal fire fighting education and certification within the first twelve months of being employed by a paid fire department. In April 1981, The Alabama State Board of Education placed the Alabama State Fire College with Shelton State Community College for administrative and fiscal agent purposes. In May 1988, through Act 88 663, the Alabama Legislature merged the Alabama Fire Fighters Personnel Standards and Education Commission and the Alabama Fire College. • ALABAMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF THE FINE ARTSIn 1997, in recognition of its contributions to and potential in the music, dance, and theatre, the Alabama Legislature, by joint resolution, designated Shelton State Community College as the Alabama Junior College of the Fine Arts.
