History
The school was originally started by the Coast Community College District as the distance learning college; it served the DL needs of Coast District residents, while Orange Coast College and Golden West College served many of the on-campus needs, with Coastline also using community facilities for site classes. Coastline has now evolved to include a distance learning program as well as on-campus classes available at its three mini-campus sites and other physical locations throughout the district.

Campus locations
Coastline Community College's administration offices are located in a 40,000 sq.ft., administration facility located at 11460 Warner Avenue, Fountain Valley California, 92708.
Unlike most colleges, Coastline does not have a traditional campus. Instead, instruction is offered at sites throughout the Coast Community College District. The college has three main mini-campuses based in Newport Beach, Garden Grove and Westminster, with an administration building (offering enrollment services, counseling, a bookstore, and more) in Fountain Valley. The Westminster Center is formally called the "Le-Jao Center" in honor of the Le family (owners of Lee's Sandwiches) and the Jao family (owners of the Asian Garden Mall and Bridgecreek Development), who contributed substantially to the Coastline Foundation's endowment.
In fall 2012, the college opened a new campus at 1515 Monrovia in Newport Beach. This is home to several general education courses and programs, including the college's Paralegal Program, Acquired Brain Injury Program, Special Programs Department, Art Department, and Digital Art. It is also home to a Veterans Resource Center and the Coastline Art Gallery, a community art gallery that is open to the public.
