It houses four campuses: the Main Campus along Sanciangko Street; the Banilad Campus along Gov. Cuenco Ave., Brgy.

It also has one defunct campus — the former UC-South Campus along Sanciangko Street which has been demolished and is replaced by an expansion of UC's sister company Elizabeth Mall (E-Mall).
History
The institution started as the Cebu College of Commerce (CCC) founded by Atty. Augusto W. Go with an opening enrollment of 239 in the first semester, 232 in the second semester, and 69 in the summer. It offered a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and an Associate in Secretarial Science in its initial year.
In its eighth year, as the Cebu College of Commerce, the enrollment was 4,185. More courses opened: Education, Liberal Arts, Criminology and Customs.
In 1972, CCC changed name to Cebu Central Colleges.
The list of curricular programs grew longer: Nursing, Midwifery, Health Aide; Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering; Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering; Hotel and Restaurant Management; Information and Computer Science; Computer Engineering; and a graduate school as well as Marine Officers Training Course.
UC, in 1983, was the first in Cebu and in the entire Region VII to offer a course offering on Computer Science after Go returned from a trip to the United States.
