Early Admit
You are entering your senior year of high school and wish to complete your senior year by registering as a full-time student at RCC and taking credit courses on campus. (Note: If you prefer to study part-time, we offer a High School Dual Enrollment Program with classes available at your high school.)
High School Dual Enrollment
The High School Dual Enrollment Program is for high school juniors and seniors who wish to register part time (fewer than 12 credits per semester) and take classes either in your high school or at Rockland Community College while still in high school.
24-Credit Program
You do not have a high school diploma or GED and wish to start your associate degree while pursuing your high school equivalency (HSE) diploma.
Microcredentials
Microcredentials are aligned with marketable skills in high demand industries. Microcredentials are used to upskill for better career opportunities, apply for an entry level job, or stack the courses to your RCC degree.
Visiting / Non-Degree
A visiting/non-degree student is not pursuing a degree/certificate at RCC. You are taking classes to transfer to another college or for personal enrichment (visiting students are not eligible for financial aid).
International Students
If you are seeking an F-1 student visa to study in the United States, than you are considered an international student.
Workforce and Community Training
Workforce Development designs non-credit courses and programs with flexible schedules, small class sizes, and reasonably priced tuition to meet the requirements of working adults. The programs help students find employment, provide opportunities to gain industry-specific certificates, or transfer into degree-seeking programs.
