Yo, I'm considering applying to Riverside City College and I'm wondering about the acceptance rate. If anyone has any insights or recent experiences with their admissions process, it would be super helpful! Thanks peeps!
Riverside City College, like most California community colleges, operates on an open admission policy. This means, as long as you have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent, you are automatically accepted. As part of the California Community College system, Riverside's main mission is to provide accessible higher education to all adult residents of the state who may qualify, regardless of any academic criteria.
However, open admission doesn't mean your spot in specific classes or programs is guaranteed. Some specific programs like nursing, dental hygiene, or paramedic have additional admissions requirements and are more competitive. For these programs, you would apply to the school first and then apply to the program once you're a student and have satisfied any prerequisites.
The enrollment process does involve steps such as filling out an application, attending an orientation, meeting with a counselor, and then registering for your courses. Be sure to pay attention to enrollment and registration deadlines to make sure you're able to get into the classes that interest you most.
Hope that helps and best of luck with your applications!
