Rockland Community College Welcomes Largest Class

Published

on

Under the leadership of new president, Dr. Lester Sandres Rápalo, Rockland Community College will welcome over 6,000 new, continuing, visiting, and
high school program students in their in-person and virtual classrooms this fall, representing an 8% increase in enrollment over the fall 2022 semester.

RCC is committed to offering learners of all ages flexible programs and course offerings that meet their needs – all at an affordable price and with a variety of financial aid options. The College’s Enrollment Management and Student Affairs Team, along with faculty from the four Academic Schools (Arts,Education, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Business and Professional Studies; Nursing, Health and Wellness; and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and staff from all Divisions, worked diligently to assist students with the registration process since registration for fall 2023 opened in April.

RCC offers in-person, hybrid, and fully online courses for their degree programs, in addition to college-level classes in local high schools and a variety of workforce development classes.

Recently, the College changed its tuition policy to offer the same rates for both in-state and out-of-state students. The College also eliminated the application fee for all students, to remove any financial barriers for students to take the first step toward pursuing education at RCC.

Enrollment is ongoing at RCC, with the Flex Start II session beginning on October 30, 2023. The Flex Start session offers seven-week courses. New students have the option to apply as a full-time student or enroll in just a course or two for Flex Start. Part-time and full-time continuing students have the option to add a course(s) to their existing schedules. Learn more about Flex Start II: sunyrockland.edu/flexstart
