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 Education 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 Education courses (math, reading and/or English), which are prerequisites to General Education courses. Developmental Education classes are offered day and evening to accommodate every student who needs them. Grades earned in Developmental Education opmental are not included in the student’s grade point average and credit hours earned do not count toward graduation.
