We are excited to welcome RCC students back to campus for the fall 2022 semester! We know that many of you are eager to return to campus to continue your studies, and we are pleased to announce that for the fall semester, 70% of RCC classes will be offered in person! We will continue to offer the remaining classes through online or hybrid instruction, for any students who prefer online learning.

Fall 8-week courses begin on Monday, October 24, 2022. Many courses will be taught through traditional, in-person instruction, with some hybrid and online options available:

• In-Person = A course offered through traditional, on-campus instruction
  In MyRCC, all in-person course include “main campus” in the schedule cell.  Please note that proof of the COVID-19 vaccination or a reasonable accommodation is required to attend in-person classes or access in-person services. 
• Online = A fully online course without set meeting times 
  Online courses are completed fully online, without in-person meetings. You can complete the work at a pace that best suits your schedule, but you must submit assignments and exams by set deadlines.  
• Hybrid = A course with scheduled face-to-face meeting times and an online component
  Hybrid courses are completed on-campus with specific meeting days and times per week, with the remainder of the assignments completed online.
