Key Takeaways

1. The Promise Program: Covers two years of educational expenses (tuition, fees, and book vouchers) for students pursuing certificates, associate degrees, or university transfers. STEM and nursing majors receive three years of coverage.
2. Priority Registration: Promise Program participants receive early access to class registration, ensuring better course selection.
3. Eligibility Requirements: Graduating California high school seniors (or AB540 eligible students), first-time college students, and completion of the FAFSA/Dream Act application are key requirements. Financial aid completion is crucial.
4. Application Process: Involves checking RCC email regularly, securing a summer experience ticket on Eventbrite, completing the online application, and registering for classes during the priority registration window in May.
5. Support Services: RCC offers various support programs (e.g., EOPS, Disability Resource Center) providing additional resources like counseling, book vouchers, and financial assistance. Engagement centers offer major-specific support teams.
