Complete the Online Application and the Student Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) or DREAM Act Application even if you don't think you qualify.

Submit official transcripts from any college or university that you have attended in the past. See the steps for verifying prerequisites here, https://www.rcc.edu/student-support/matriculation.html, or email SSSP@rcc.edu for assistance.

Please send your official transcript electronically if possible. This is normally done by using your previous institution’s online official transcript ordering service. If an email address is requested, please use admissionsriverside@rcc.edu. In order to be official, the transcript must have been ordered in the last 90 days. If your institution only sends paper transcripts, please send directly from your previous institution to:

Riverside City College        
Attn: Admissions & Records
4800 Magnolia Ave
Riverside, CA 92506-1299
