Steps to Apply
Attention Prospective Students:
It only takes a few simple steps to enter the “Gateway to the Dream”.
Step 1: Apply for Admission
Complete the Admissions Application to Roxbury Community College. To apply online for free, please click here. You can also come to the Enrollment Office during office hours to complete the admission application and meet with an Enrollment Counselor for guidance with the enrollment process. Campus tours are available to prospective students and their families. Contact Enrollment Services today to sign up for any of these events.
Step 2: Submit Official Transcripts
Submit official college transcript(s) if you plan to transfer credits to RCC. Transcripts for schools outside of the United States must be evaluated by a recognized credential evaluation agency to determine US equivalency.
Step 3: Apply for Financial Aid & New RCC Student Scholarship
Financial Assistance is available to help you finance your education. Complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. When completing the FAFSA online, be sure to list Roxbury Community College in the “schools information section.” Our code is 011930. Once we have received your FAFSA, you will be notified of any additional requirements.
RCC is currently accepting applications for the “New to RCC” student scholarship. We encourage all new RCC students who are starting their studies in fall 2021 or spring 2022 to apply. Important note: You must complete the online application and have your RCC email address and password to complete the application. Review and submit the scholarship application here.
Step 4: Take the Academic Skills Assessment
All students must take the Academic Skills Assessment which measures your Reading, Writing, Math, and Science skills. Students with prior college credits to transfer may be eligible for a partial or full waiver of the assessment. For more information regarding the Assessment test, or the times and dates it is given, please visit the College Assessment webpage.
If you require testing accommodations or access services, students with documented disabilities are encouraged to contact Student Accessibility Services at 857-701-1410 or accessibility@rcc.mass.edu.
Step 5: Meet with an Advisor to Develop an Academic Plan and Register for Classes
To help make your experience at RCC as successful as possible, meet with an Academic Advisor to dialogue about your academic goals, develop an academic plan, and register for classes. You may drop in during open hours to meet with an academic advisor, or you may schedule an appointment with any of our academic advisors by contacting him or her directly.
The Academic Advising Center is open during the following days/times:
- Mondays and Thursdays: 8:30am – 6:30pm
