Students who have received one associate degree at RCC may be eligible for financial aid, in the form of Pell Grants only, for credits toward a certificate or a second associate degree at RCC. The student must first apply for readmission and declare to the Office of Admissions that he or she is pursuing a new degree or certificate. Then the student must meet with an academic advisor at the Advising Center to determine which courses will be required in order to obtain the certificate or second degree and must submit this information to the Financial Aid Office. The student will be eligible for financial aid only for the courses required to complete the degree or certificate.
