Entrance Requirements
RTC is an open-access or open-entry college. We recommend that students have a real interest and personal goals related to their chosen program of study, and that they are able to benefit from instruction.
Individual programs, especially in the Health and Human Services area of study, may have additional entrance requirements related to licensure. Other programs, such as our applied baccalaureate or BAS degrees, require specific educational credentials.
Additionally, some programs have limited space. We enroll students into specific programs in the order that they apply, so it is important to apply early.
Admission to the college may be initiated through online web admissions, in person, or by mail. Some programs require you to be 18 years of age or older; however, in some programs and evening classes, you can be 16 years of age.
Withdrawal
Withdrawal happens when students remove themselves from one or more classes after the first day of a quarter. You can withdraw online, using your ctcLink account, or submit an Add/Drop form to the Enrollment Services Office. Tuition will be refunded (paid back to the student) if the withdrawal is within the refund period. A student who has withdrawn may re-enroll in classes if an immediate opening is available, or with instructor permission.
