Randolph Community College Urges Students to Apply Early for Fall

Randolph Community College is expecting another record enrollment this fall and is encouraging all new students to apply and register early. As of mid-June, RCC had received over 1,500 new student applications for fall, according to Anne Hockett, vice president for instructional services for the college. Students who complete their application process early, including placement testing, will receive an invitation to sign up for early advising and registration sessions the weeks of July 26-30 and Aug. 2-6.

New programs for this fall will include the Industrial Engineering Technology program and the Medical Office Administration program. In addition, RCC will offer 16 new premajors in the Associate in Arts (College Transfer) area.

Also new this fall, the Archdale Center will offer the complete Associate in Arts (College Transfer) program on that campus, pending SACS approval. That approval is expected soon.

In addition, RCC students will have more choices this fall in how they complete their classes. Seven of RCC's programs are now offered totally online as well as in a traditional classroom setting. Those are Accounting, Business Administration, Criminal Justice Technology, Early Childhood Education, Healthcare Management Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Office Administration.
