Orientation
Orientation programs are for students who are already registered and ready to begin classes, but still need an introduction to important RCBC resources to help prepare for a successful first semester. Students will learn about campus life and classes, hear from faculty and staff, and discover all that RCBC has to offer to help students achieve their academic goals.
Baron Bundle
Baron Bundles are geared toward new RCBC students who have applied to the college, but need a little assistance with next steps. During this one-day, four hour program, students will attend an Orientation, see an advisor, and register for classes, all in one trip.
Participants can also get information about financial aid, as well all the other student resources offered at RCBC.
Congratulations on becoming a Baron! If you have any questions about getting started at RCBC, feel free to reach out to us at orientation@rcbc.edu. We can't wait to meet you!
