Black History Month is an important observance in the U. S., and RCTC wants to provide our students with a number of opportunities to engage in activities to learn more about the contributions and achievement of African Americans throughout our nation’s history.
For Black History Month, RCTC Student Life is:
- Offering 10 students free access to the ASALH Virtual Festival “Black Bodies: From Exploitation to Excellence Part 1 and 2”
- Providing opportunities for celebration through art in the Hive and in the Heintz Center Commons all month long
- Streaming the thought-provoking documentary “13th” in the Hive on February 16th
- Paying the entry fee for any RCTC into the “Community Connections: African Americans in Rochester” exhibit located at the History Center of Olmsted County.
All of these events are free to RCTC Students. Additionally in the Student Life February newsletter, you can find additional free virtual events for anyone to get involved in!

Student Health Services is funded by the Health Service fee included in the tuition statement, so there is no additional fee for most of the services.

Appointments are required for all visits – no drop-in visits are allowed at this time. Please schedule all appointments by logging into the Student Health Portal at MyHealth.rctc.edu. If you have questions, please call us at 507-285-7261.
RCTC Student Health Services is located at HS140 in the Health Sciences building.
Note: RCTC Student Health Services does not give excuses or notes for missing class or practice. It is the student’s responsibility to notify his/her instructor or coach if class or practice must be missed.
Check your DARS and consult with your advisor to see if you have met your requirements to graduate!
