Campus Safety News
RCTC’s Emergency Alert System makes it possible for students, employees, and community members to receive quick notifications by text, phone and email. The RCTC Emergency Alert System will only notify you in emergency situations. These emergency notifications update you concerning any life threatening, safety and/or severely impacted standard campus operations.
RCTC Students and Employees:
All current RCTC students and employees automatically receive RCTC Emergency Alerts at their RCTC email accounts. If you wish to receive alerts as a text message, a phone message, or at another email address, you will need to set up an account. You may use either your RCTC email address or a personal email address as a user ID. You will also need to establish a password for this account.
All Others:
Non-RCTC students and employees may sign up to receive RCTC Emergency Alerts. If you wish to receive alerts as a text message, a phone message, or at an email address, you need to set up an account by using an email address as a user ID. You will also need to establish a password for this account.
All members of the college community are encouraged to contact the Campus Security Office personally with any concerns and questions regarding campus security and related issues at: 507-280-5050

As partners in your education, we’re interested about how our institution and services aid our students in reaching their goals. If you have a compliment or concern, we encourage you to share your thoughts about RCTC here.
The Technology Support Center can Help You!
The Technology Support Center (TSC) is available for student’s technical issues here at RCTC, which includes login and printing issues, installing free software for home use, and guided assistance with laptops and mobile devices.
Additionally, the TSC has digital equipment checkout items and provides traditional media supplies. A complete listing of TSC checkout items, supplies and services can be found on the TSC website.
Educational discount tip: as a student, if you plan on purchasing any new technology devices or software, ask for an educational discount! Most retailers offer discounts for college students which can save you quite a bit of money.
Remember: always be very careful when someone contacts you that you were not expecting (with an offer of employment, a free prize, your password has expired, etc., and asks for your personnel information, or for you to send them money). It is most likely a SCAM!
