COVID-19 NOTICE Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) holds as paramount the health, safety and welfare of every member of its community. RCTC, however, cannot guarantee a COVID-19-free environment. Unfortunately, the risk of COVID-19 exposure exists in all public places where people are present. RCTC is taking all recommended steps to mitigate this risk, but we cannot categorically guarantee you will not get sick. Minimizing the risk of COVID-19 infections (or any other spread of disease) at RCTC is a shared responsibility. As outlined below, every member of our community – including you – must do their part. Understand that if you return to the physical campus of RCTC, there is a risk you may contract COVID-19 and that illness, injury or death is a possible result. Please follow these guidelines: 1) Don't come to campus if sick 2) Wash your hands often 3) Practice social distancing 4) Cover your cough or sneeze 5) Wear a mask

VISION

Rochester Community and Technical College will be a universal gateway to world-class learning opportunities.

MISSION

Rochester Community and Technical College provides accessible, affordable, quality learning opportunities to serve a diverse and growing community.

10 WAYS TO SUCCEED AT RCTC You made it through the search, application process, orientation, registration and now it’s time to attend your classes. Here are some ideas on how to get the most out of your time at RCTC. 1. Learn what resources RCTC has to offer and where they are located.

2. Be familiar with your course requirements. Read the SYLLABUS to understand your instructor's expectations.

3. Set a daily schedule and stick to it to avoid falling behind and feeling overwhelmed.

4. Assess and improve your study habits. Complete your required readings prior to class and outline your chapters as you read.

5. Know how to use the campus library (https://www.rctc.edu/services/library/) and utilize the Learning Center often (https://www.rctc.edu/services/learningcenter/).

6. See your counselor/advisor more often than you think you need to. Log on to https://Advisortrac.rctc.edu to make an appointment.

7. Get involved in campus activities. Check out Social Media for the latest events and activities.

8. Take your health seriously. College students are notoriously sleep and nutritionally deprived...none of which helps you succeed in college.

9. Learn how to handle stress. Try a Stress Management course!

10. Set realistic goals and follow through with them. This is not only in academic areas... it pertains to the activities you participate in, the groups you join, the part-time work you do, and your social life.

This is a great time for you to grow academically, emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially. Take advantage of everything available to you at RCTC.
