RCTC Basic Needs

The College recognizes that many students experience challenges in their lives outside of the classroom that may create stress and anxiety which impacts their academic performance. Challenges may include accessing enough food to eat every day, safe and stable housing, issues with childcare, family obligations, physical and mental health, unexpected bills, or issues with accessing technology.

RCTC Student Support

As a student, your safety, health, and well-being are our primary concerns and we want to be able to support you in any way that we can.

This website contains information on resources on campus and within the Rochester community.

You are not alone, and we will navigate these challenges together. Yellowjackets take care of their hive!
