Registration open for Fall 2025 classes at RLC

March 17, 2025

INA, Ill. (March 17, 2025) — Registration for the Fall 2025 semester is open to everyone. Classes begin Aug. 18. Get started by scheduling an in-person or virtual appointment with an advisor. 

Programs

Explore more than 100 degrees and certificates from a diverse range of programs offered at RLC. Our catalog has many options to either transfer an associate degree to a four-year university or complete a short-term training program that leads to direct entry into the workforce. We've even introduced new, A.M.P. (At My Pace) credentials  that provide a flexible and practical approach to learning and earning credit. 

Academic Advisement

If you are not sure what you want to major in, don't worry! RLC's Academic Advisement team is experienced in discussing career paths and setting up a schedule to meet your goals. There's also our Career Services department that has tools to help guide you toward the field of study that fits.   

Advisement will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Book your appointment with a member of the advisement team at rlc.edu/academic-advisement.

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid office is here to help you prepare to pay for college. Financial aid comes in the forms of grants, scholarships, academic awards, employment and loans. Set up a meeting with a Financial Aid staff member and talk about your aid options. Email rlcfa@rlc.edu to schedule an appointment now.

Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is an essential step for every student. It's even required for high school graduation in Illinois. To complete the FAFSA, go online to studentaid.gov.  Be sure to include RLC's school code: 007119. For help with the FAFSA, contact our Financial Aid  office. 

Additionally, the RLC Foundation awards hundreds of scholarships, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. The many donors of these scholarships want to ensure that every student has the resources they need to succeed at RLC. You only need to fill out one application to apply for every scholarship through the RLCF. The application opens Jan. 1 each year and closes June 1. Apply by March 1 for priority awarding.
