Education secretary Michael Russell announced details of the move this afternoon in the Scottish Parliament.
He said that the reform, which creates 12 new 'college regions', institutions will work more collaboratively and 'allow them to plan regionally and deliver locally'.
Around 150 students from Dunoon and Cowal attend James Watt.
In a statement to MSPs, Mr Russell said Ayr, Kilmarnock, and the Kilwinning campus of James Watt are to become the Ayrshire college region while James Watt will become part of the West region, with its remaining Inverclyde campus joining with Reid Kerr and Clydebank Colleges.
Mr Russell said: "Our system of post-16 education serves young people in Scotland well.
"Our colleges and universities do a good job of equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need for the workplace.
"However that doesn't mean we are complacent, we need to make sure our system is the best it can be.
"I believe developing a regional basis for colleges will make the sector more efficient and responsive to the needs of students and local economies.
"This approach was proposed in two Scottish Government consultations last year and regionalisation has been strongly supported by the college sector and others in their responses.
"I expect colleges to collaborate and plan together within 12 newly-created regions and plan together and I expect provision to continue to be delivered locally.
"We will now work with the sector and the Scottish Funding Council to put these new arrangements in practice."
