Current Students

RRC programs undergo review and renewal on a regular basis to ensure that the program or discipline is current, relevant and meets the needs of students and industry. For current students, this means that your program may change while you are partway through earning your credential. You will have the choice to complete the program with the new curriculum or continue to follow the previous program outline.

If you choose to follow the updated program curriculum, it is your responsibility to check how your completed courses will fit into the new program. Regardless of what you choose, the Part-time and Online Advisor can assist you
