How to Register for Classes at RCC
After submitting an application for admissions most new-to-college students are required to participate in Assessment and Orientation/Group Counseling before they can register.
For more information on exemptions, check the RCC Student Handbook or talk with a walk-in counselor on one of our campuses. To better ensure success in college, returning and continuing students are encouraged to participate in the Assessment Orientation/Group Counseling process if they have not done so.
To make arrangements to complete the assessment test, call the Assessment Center at one of our campuses for hours: Moreno Valley (951) 571-6492, Norco (951) 372-7156, Riverside (951) 222-8451. Tests are usually given on a walk-in basis with no appointment necessary.
After completing the assessment test, contact the Counseling Department at one of the campuses to schedule an orientation/group counseling session: Moreno Valley (951) 571-6104, Norco (951) 372-7101, Riverside (951) 222-8440.
