With a view to upgrading its student services and capacity, the UCC has embarked on a major expansion project at its Worthington Avenue facility. The first phase is to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.

The University College of the Caribbean is fully registered and recognised by the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ), the official accreditation body for tertiary education in Jamaica and is a member of the Commonwealth and OAS consortia of universities.
