Concurrent Enrollment Program
College + ESL or GED® Simultaneously
Take college courses with support while completing your GED® or studying English, and RCC will pay for them!
To be eligible, you must:
- Be a current GED® & Pre-College Education student.
- Complete an interest form by the end of the 6th week of the term prior to the term in which you would like to take your college class(es).
- Be recommended by your current PCE instructor based on classwork, attendance and participation.
- GED students:
- Score "Likely to Pass" on the relevant GED Ready Practice Test by end of Week 8 of the current term
- Pass at least two official GED tests by the end of the current term.
- ESL students either:
- Score a 236 on the ESL CASAS and successfully complete one term of relevant PCE classes in English with other English-speaking students, or
- Score a 226 on the ESL CASAS and successfully complete two terms of relevant PCE classes in English with other English-speaking students
- Not yet eligible to receive federal financial aid (FAFSA) at time of acceptance into the Concurrent Enrollment Program.
- 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 (maximum 5 credits per term). RCC will pay your college course tuition/fees and allow you to check-out required textbooks at the RCC library. You will only be responsible for the $65 PCE 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
- 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.
