Developmental Studies
Are you delaying your enrollment because you have been out of school
for a while or you did not take the courses in high school to prepare
yourself for college-level work? You might be interested to know that
the majority of new RCC students enter the College in need of refreshers in math, English, science and reading, and RCC has a highly successful program to meet the needs of these students.
Through the Developmental Studies program, RCC offers students classroom instruction in reading comprehension, science,
math and writing. After placement testing, students who show need in one
or more areas will be placed in the appropriate Developmental Studies
courses (math, reading and/or English), which are prerequisites to General
Education courses. Developmental Studies classes are offered day and evening
to accommodate every student who needs them. Grades earned in Developmental
Studies are not included in the student’s grade point average and
credit hours earned do not count toward graduation.
