REGISTER NOW FOR SPRING CLASSES!

Get the schedule YOU want! Get the courses you NEED!

Don’t take the WRONG courses! Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to review your degree plan.

You’ll have time to handle any ROADBLOCKS. Unexpected hold? Financial aid error? Starting early gives you time to determine any barriers that might keep you from registering.

 

CAMPUS SAFETY NEWS

RCTC’s Emergency Alert System makes it possible for students, employees, and community members to receive quick notifications by text, phone and email. The RCTC Emergency Alert System will only notify you in emergency situations. These emergency notifications update you concerning any life threatening, safety and/or severely impacted standard campus operations.

All members of the College community are encouraged to contact Campus Safety with any concerns and questions regarding campus security and related issues at: security@rctc.edu.

RCTC Students and Employees

All current RCTC students and employees automatically receive RCTC Emergency Alerts at their RCTC email accounts. If you wish to receive alerts as a text message, a phone message, or at another email address, you will need to set up an account. You may use either your RCTC email address or a personal email address as a user ID. You will also need to establish a password for this account.

All Others

Non-RCTC students and employees may sign up to receive RCTC Emergency Alerts. If you wish to receive alerts as a text message, a phone message, or at an email address, you need to set up an account by using an email address as a user ID. You will also need to establish a password for this account.

THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT CENTER IS HERE TO HELP!

The Technology Support Center (TSC) is available for student’s technical issues here at RCTC, which includes login and printing issues, installing free software for home use, and guided assistance with laptops and mobile devices.

Additionally, the TSC has digital equipment checkout items and provides traditional media supplies. A complete listing of TSC checkout items, supplies and services can be found on the TSC website.

Educational discount tip: as a student, if you plan on purchasing any new technology devices or software, ask for an educational discount! Most retailers offer discounts for college students which can save you quite a bit of money.

Remember: always be very careful when someone contacts you that you were not expecting (with an offer of employment, a free prize, your password has expired, etc., and asks for your personnel information, or for you to send them money). It is most likely a SCAM!

The TSC is located in our Welcome and One Stop Center, contact 507-536-5555 or tech.help@rctc.edu for further information.
