Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)

Concurrent Enrollment Program

To be eligible, you must:

Be approved for admission to our Concurrent Enrollment Program by our screening committee of lead instructors.

Once Admitted to our Concurrent Enrollment Program:

You will get to choose to take up to 8 credits worth of college courses. RCC will pay your college course tuition/fees andallow you to check-out required textbooks at the RCC library. You will only be responsible for the $65 ABS term fee. This is a savings of about $1,000!
You will take a support course with built-in tutoring and question-and-answer time that will complement your college course(s)
In certain circumstances, you will be allowed to bypass prerequisite courses to get ahead on your college certificate/degree
If you are interested in a short-term certificate program, such as Nursing Assistant 1, we may be able to fund up to $2,000 of the program. Please reach out to Britta Walker with your plans, and options can be discussed.
STEP participants get priority registration, a stipend of up to $200 for purchasing required textbooks/materials and up to 4 additional college credits (up to 12 total) paid for by RCC.
