Get Started at RLC on Super Saturday
Rend Lake College offers a chance for students to register for classes, pick up textbooks, get their Student ID, visit the Financial Aid Office, and more across the Ina campus to prepare for the Fall Semester.
Super Saturday takes place the Saturday before the first day of classes for the Fall Semester only. No appointments are necessary during Super Saturday. Departments and offices open for this event include:
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.
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.

Bookstore
Pick up your textbooks at the RLC Bookstore! Through RLC's All-Inclusive Program, a student’s course materials are now covered under the Instructional Support Fee. Fees are assessed to student statements at the time of registration allowing students to see their total costs immediately. This means students can manage their expenses upfront, making budgeting for college a more streamlined and transparent process.
Course materials can be obtained by completing the All-Inclusive Order Form. Students may select a pickup date or choose to have their order shipped for an additional fee. Some materials received through the All-Inclusive Program must be returned to the Bookstore before the deadline at the end of each semester.
For a list of current course materials, please see the RLC Booklist.
