What degr ee Do I n eed? Academic resources on campus include a team of RCTC advisors and counselors. Every student has an academic advisor or counselor who is here to support students in their educational growth. You should work closely with them to ensure your educational goals are on track. Beginning with the new student orientation session, advisors will work with you to discuss placement test results, transfer credits decisions, your declared program major requirements, and upcoming course registration. After orientation, students work with their assigned academic advisor or counselor to develop an academic plan to ensure that their educational goals can be met. Your Degree Audit Report System (DARS), found in eServices, will list which academic advisor or counselor is assigned to you, as well as the academic advisor or counselor’s email address. The DARS report is also a very important tool used throughout advising and counseling sessions to track degree progress as well as your declared program major requirements.

Have you applied for Financial aid?

FINANCIAL AID

Financial aid is money available for your educational expenses. It is designed to supplement the amount you and your family contribute toward your education. The primary purpose of student financial aid is to provide assistance to students who otherwise would be unable to pursue their education. RCTC knows every student has a somewhat different financial situation. A financial aid award package consists of funding from one or a combination of financial aid programs and is designed to help meet your financial needs. To be considered for financial aid at Rochester Community and Technical College, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form can be submitted via the government website at www.fafsa.gov. Include RCTC’s federal school code of 002373 when you complete your FAFSA to ensure RCTC receives your application information. After RCTC receives your application, you will receive a paper letter and email either requesting more information or informing you that your award letter is ready to view in eServices. Award letters show your eligibility for grants and loans at different enrollment levels for the term. Please note all students are able to get an update to their financial aid status by logging into their eServices.

FINANCIAL AID RESOURCES www.rctc.edu/financialaid

There are many free tools that can help you learn more about financial aid: Develop a Plan – Financial Aid 101 http://goo.gl/koKp5E Estimator Tool – (What types of financial aid do I qualify for?) http://goo.gl/qo5j1s The RCTC Net Price Calculator – http://goo.gl/W9LoZ

YELLOWJACKET CARD

All Financial Aid disbursements and student payroll checks at RCTC are disbursed using a system called HigherOne. You will receive a GREEN ENVELOPE in your mailbox after you register for courses at RCTC that will contain your Yellowjacket Card. Visit www.YellowjacketCard.com to designate how you want your disbursement/ payment sent to you. You can choose to have your funding sent by direct deposit to your own bank account, deposit to a “OneAccount” utilizing the Yellowjacket card as a debit card, or sent by paper check via mail.

RCTC establishes due dates for final payment of tuition and fees prior to the start of each semester. RCTC drops all classes for students who do not have a financial aid deferment, have not paid in full, or have not established a payment plan. Students are responsible for knowing if they have an approved financial aid deferment. Payments can be made in eServices using MasterCard, Visa, or e-check. Payments may also be made in person at the RCTC Cashier’s Office.

When your payment is ready to be issued to you, the funds will be sent to HigherOne. They will then issue your Financial Aid change check, refund, and/or student payroll check using the disbursement method you selected upon activation of your HigherOne Account.

RCTC will grant an extension of the payment due date for students who have filed and are awaiting approved financial aid from federal, state, or other third-party sources.

Have questions regarding HigherOne?

PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE

GOALS + PLANS = SUCCESS STUDENT LIFE

The RCTC Student Life program gives you the opportunity to expand your education beyond the traditional classroom. Students who get involved in extracurricular activities tend to do better in the classroom. Major employers across the nation look for “leadership skills” in prospective hires. Being involved with RCTC’s chartered student organizations gives you an opportunity to gain these skills first hand. In a two-year college, many of the students involved in an activity graduate each year. The opportunity for a freshman to immediately become leaders is much greater than in a four-year college. RCTC students can attend sporting events, concerts, and theatre productions free of charge with valid student ID. All RCTC sponsored events are tobacco, alcohol, and drug free. Check out what is going on with student life: www.rctc.edu/ studentlife. For further information on student activities, contact the Director of Student Life, Scott Krook, via email at scott.krook@ rctc.edu or call (507) 285-7206.
