All those who have earned a high school diploma or GED will be admitted to Rochester Community and Technical College. Applicants who do not meet this criterion may still be admissible.
Lack of English skills should not be a barrier to admission or participation. In order to eliminate barriers, we take appropriate measures individually assess each student’s ability to participate. Based on the assessment, students are then provided with campus services or a referral to community services to be better prepared for successful participation.
