Classes began on the new campus in fall 1956. On June 7, 2017, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) granted initial accreditation status to Compton College. The action established Compton College as an accredited college within the El Camino Community College District.

On August 29, 2018, California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Oakley issued Executive Order 2018-01 declaring Compton College will operate as an independent college under the authority of the Compton Community College District (CCCD) Board of Trustees effective June 7, 2019.
