FIND ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS | WWW.RCTC.EDU


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why should I meet with my advisor? Every student has an academic advisor or counselor, who is here to support students in their educational growth and guide them through program requirements. Your assigned counselor or advisor appears on your schedule and on your Degree Audit Report (DARS). Students should work closely with their academic advisor or counselor so that educational goals are met. It is important to meet with your academic advisor or counselor each semester to ensure that you receive ongoing advice regarding satisfactory academic and career progress and you should bring a copy of your DARS (https://www. rctc.edu/admissions/dars/) with you. Students who have concerns that cannot be addressed by their assigned advisor are always welcome to meet with a counselor. What’s the difference between an advisor and a counselor? An academic advisor assists students with academic decisions, helps students clarify academic goals and understands how courses fit into these goals. A college counselor is credentialed, experienced in assisting students with academic, transfer and career planning. Counselors also provide crisis counseling and services to assist with family and personal relationship concerns. To make an appointment with an advisor or counselor, please visit our website at: https://Advisortrac.rctc.edu. Where do I go when I’m feeling sick? Students are welcome to visit the Student Health Services Office, located in the Health Sciences Building, beginning August 20. A registered nurse is available daily to assist with first aid/illness care, academic and athletic program-required physical exams and health assessments, and health education/information. There is no charge to the students to see the nurse, but a minimal fee may be charged for certain services or supplies. Appointments may be scheduled by going to https://www.rctc.edu/services/health/ and entering the student’s StarID and password. Walk-in visits are limited to designated times only. The Student Health Services Office is open M-Th from 8:00am-3:30pm and Fridays from 8:00am-1:30pm. Call (507) 285-7261 or email healthservices@rctc.edu for more information. https://www.rctc.edu/services/health/ What is the difference between eServices and eForms? eServices is a platform on the RCTC website that students use to register, check grades, access unofficial transcripts, pay their tuition, check their balance, find their financial aid award, and much more. https://www.rctc.edu/eservices/ eForms is a webpage that houses admissions forms available online to students. These include academic petitions, suspension appeal, change contact form, program applications, graduation application, major change, transcript retrieval, as well as others. https://secure.rctc.edu/apps/admissions/eforms/form_list.html

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED) Why do I have two ID numbers? Your StarID is a unique username that you can utilize across all Minnesota State colleges and universities campuses to access information technology systems. Students who plan on transferring to another school in the Minnesota State system will continue to use the same StarID and password when they transfer. You will use your StarID coupled with your distinct password to log on to college computers, eservices, Brightspace, email, and others. Note: Campus email login format is: StarID@go.minnestate.edu. Students are assigned a unique 8-digit Stinger ID as well. Students need this number anytime they work with Admissions or Financial Aid. This will be included on a student ID card that they get from the Library which is used for entry into athletic events, theatre and music events, or checking out library materials and technology equipment. This is also used to access on-campus printers and entry into the Learning Center. It’s snowing...how do I know if the campus is closed? When it is determined that weather has made it unsafe to travel to campus, the RCTC president will close the campus. This decision will be announced publicly through local television and radio stations, the RCTC website, Social Media, and through the Emergency Alert System. You can find our weather cancellation policy at https://www.rctc.edu/policies/weather/. Students’ campus emails will automatically be enrolled in this system but students can also opt in to receive phone calls and text messages. Opt in today at: https://www.rctc.edu/services/safety/emergency-alerts/. I have a documented disability. Are there resources for me on campus? Yes. The RCTC Disability Support Services Office offers accommodations such as extended time, scribes, a reader, or a sign language interpreter. Distraction-free testing rooms may also be available for students who qualify for Disability Support Services. Additional information is available on the Disability Support Services webpage at https://www.rctc.edu/services/academic-support-center/disability-support-services/. What is Student Support Services (TRIO)? TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) is a program that is funded through the U.S. Department of Education and serves 250 students each year. To qualify for SSS, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien and be a first-generation college student, low income OR have a documented disability on file with Disability Support Services. SSS provides advising, peer tutoring, career exploration, resume writing, money management training, and much more. For more information or to apply for SSS, please call the SSS Office at (507) 285-7230. Where can I find place to live? Visit https://www.rctc.edu/services/housing/ to explore housing in Rochester.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED) My Instructor doesn’t take attendance. Do I still need to go to class? YES! You have paid money to receive an education. When you don’t attend class, you miss a great deal of that learning. In addition, surveys show that students receive higher grades when they attend class regularly. If students do not maintain satisfactory progress, they will not be eligible for financial aid and will not be allowed to register for classes in subsequent semesters. The bottom line? Keep going to class! How do I change my address? It is essential that you maintain current contact information with RCTC so you receive all of the important information to keep you moving toward completing your goal. You can change your address by logging onto eServices and clicking on Account Management on the left side of your screen. You can also change your address at the Admissions counter. What is DARS? DARS is an acronym for Degree Audit Reporting System. DARS is a tool to assist you and your advisor in the process of course selection and academic program planning to keep you on track for graduation. To learn how to read your DARS report, check out this webpage, https://www.rctc.edu/admissions/admissions-resources/dars/. You can run your DARS report in eServices. For more information on DARS, please see your advisor or counselor. How do I get my financial aid? All Financial Aid disbursements and student payroll checks at RCTC are disbursed using a system called BankMobile Disbursements. When your payment is ready to be issued to you, the funds will be sent to an agency called “BankMobile.” BankMobile will then issue your financial aid change check and/or student payroll check using the disbursement method you designate. You can choose to have your funding sent to your own bank account, or to a BankMobile Vibe Account. You will receive a GREEN ENVELOPE containing a Refund Selection Kit by mail after you register for courses at RCTC. You will use this kit to make your refund/payroll selection at www.refundselection.com. If you have questions, please contact the RCTC Cashier’s Office at (507) 285-7311. Are there any opportunities for students to study abroad at RCTC? RCTC offers short-term student abroad programs that provide unique learning opportunities that broaden students’ awareness of diverse cultures. See your instructor or the Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management for more details.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION Scholarships The RCTC Foundation offers scholarships to incoming, returning, and graduating RCTC students. All scholarships offered by the RCTC Foundation are made possible from the support of generous donors. The online application portal is open once a year (normally December) allowing both new and returning students the opportunity to apply for available scholarships for the upcoming academic year. For more information about scholarships offered by the RCTC Foundation please call the Foundation Office, 507-281-7771 or visit https://www.rctc.edu/foundation/scholarships/. Grants A “grant” is financial aid funding you generally do NOT need to repay. Grants are only repaid if you withdraw, stop attending or otherwise fail to complete your courses. Eligibility for most grant programs are based on income. Several grant programs are available to RCTC students who qualify. Students must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) through the U.S. Department of Education to apply. For more information on grants available at RCTC, visit: https://www.rctc.edu/financialaid/grants/. Loans Student Loans must be repaid, along with all fees, charges and accumulated interest. Student loans typically are not repaid until after the student has graduated, withdrawn from College or dropped to less than half-time status. RCTC has loan programs available for students and their families. To qualify for a student loan(s), the student must be currently enrolled in 6 or more credits. Our Loan Comparison Chart helps to explain the difference in each loan type. For more information on loans: https://www.rctc.edu/financialaid/loans/. Students MUST attend class regularly and maintain satisfactory progress to remain eligible for scholarships, grants, and loans. Tips for Financial Success at RCTC • Finalize your Fall registration by August 31, 2018 and Spring registration by January 18, 2019. Registration changes after this date may not qualify for financial aid funding. • Attend all classes, complete assignments and stay in contact with your instructors! • Maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and complete a minimum of 67% of all credits attempted. • Repeating a course? Financial aid can pay for only one repeat of a previously passed course. Once your new grade is posted, see Admissions to have your transcript updated.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) • • • • •

If you stop attending your courses or completely withdraw, you could end up owing a sizeable refund to the financial aid programs. See your advisor or the Financial Aid Office staff before changing your registration. Financial aid will only pay for 30 credits of developmental courses (classes numbered below 1000). If you change majors, see the Financial Aid Office. (Not all majors are eligible for financial aid.) Stay on track with your educational goals. Attempting too many credits before reaching graduation may result in having to file an appeal for continued Financial Aid funding. There is a maximum amount of financial aid you can receive in one school year and a maximum amount of aid you can receive over your lifetime. Limitations apply to Pell grants, state grants and student loans. See the Financial Aid Office if you are concerned about your eligibility for continued funding.

Create a Budget Whether you have been awarded Financial Aid or not, it is important to track your income and expenses. Budget management can be simple, and we want to help you start the process! Use the budget template below to start tracking your money. Item

SEXUAL VIOLENCE RESOURCES, SUPPORT, AND REPORTING OPTIONS Rochester Community and Technical College is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming campus climate. All members of our college community have the right to a respectful and safe environment in which to learn and work. Acts of Sexual Violence are an intolerable intrusion into the most personal and private rights of an individual, and is prohibited at the college. Resources and support are available to members of the RCTC campus community who have experienced sexual violence. Sexual Violence is an umbrella term used to define a continuum of conduct, behaviors and actions including but not limited to harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and dating, intimate partner and relationship violence. Affirmative Consent is required under Minnesota State Board Policy 1B.3 and states that, “consent is informed, freely given, and mutually understood willingness to participate in sexual activity that is expressed by clear, unambiguous, and affirmative words or actions. It is the responsibility of the person who wants to engage in sexual activity to ensure that the other person has consented to engage in the sexual activity. Consent must be present throughout the entire sexual activity and can be revoked at any time. If coercion, intimidation, threats, and/or physical force are used, there is no consent. If the complainant is mentally or physically incapacitated or impaired so that the complainant cannot understand the fact, nature, or extent of the sexual situation, there is no consent; this includes conditions due to alcohol or drug consumption, or being asleep or unconscious. A lack of protest, absence of resistance, or silence alone does not constitute consent, and past consent of sexual activities does not imply ongoing future consent. The existence of a dating relationship between the people involved or the existence of a past sexual relationship does not prove the presence of, or otherwise provide the basis for, an assumption of consent. Whether the respondent has taken advantage of a position of influence over the complainant may be a factor in determining consent.” The full text of the Sexual Violence Policy can be found at: https://www.rctc.edu/policies/system/sexual-violence/

REPORT PROHIBITED BEHAVIOR Any individual who believes she or he has been, or is being, subjected to conduct prohibited by Minnesota State 1B.3. Sexual Violence Policy is encouraged to report the incident. To report allegations of sexual violence, contact the College’s designated Title IX Officer Rebecca Peine, Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Room SS225, (507) 285-7195, rebecca.peine@rctc.edu.
