Roanoke-Chowan CC to Return to Pre-Pandemic Instruction for Fall 2021

June 22, 2021

With the decline in the number of COVID-19 cases and the increased availability of vaccines, Roanoke-Chowan Community College (R-CCC) will resume full operations for fall 2021. Students will be able to choose in-person, online, or hybrid classes (a mix of in-person and online instruction), just as before the pandemic.

In accordance with Governor Roy Cooper’s May 14 executive order, face coverings and social distancing protocols are still encouraged, but not required, for unvaccinated individuals.

Nothing prevents employees or students from continuing to wear face coverings. Keep in mind that individuals should not be asked to disclose their vaccination status or why they are wearing a face covering. This is private information and should be respected at all times.

Here is what students can expect this fall:

• In-person classes will resume to pre-pandemic norms
• Online and hybrid classes will continue to be available
• Classrooms and labs will return to regular capacity
• In-person student services, resources, and activities will resume
• Some classrooms, labs, and other facilities have been renovated

The fall 2021 semester starts August 16.  The college employees are excited to welcome their students back to an engaged learning environment with numerous student activities and opportunities for involvement. 

Student Services

R-CCC staff are available to provide services such as admissions, financial aid, registration and records, advising, veterans services, career and employment resources, and wellness counseling.

Appointments on campus and virtual assistance are available from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Walk-ins are also welcome. Call 252-862-1200 for assistance.

Paying for Classes

Roanoke-Chowan Community College offers several convenient options for paying for classes. Unless otherwise noted, tuition is due on the college established deadlines.  Please check the academic calendar for more details. Nonpayment of tuition and fees by their due dates will result in the deletion of your schedule.

In Person
Pay at the campus business office in the Jernigan Building with cash, check or credit card (MasterCard™ or Visa™).

Payment Plan
Break your tuition balance into affordable monthly payments. Visit My College Payment Plan (Nelnet) for more information.

Financial Aid
The primary purpose of R-CCC’s financial aid program is to ensure that qualified students are not denied an opportunity to pursue a college education because of economic disadvantages.

Our student-focused staff are empowered to help students and their families seek, obtain, and make the best use of all financial resources available. Grants, scholarships, and a federal work-study program are available to help eligible students cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other related expenses.

Bookstore

R-CCC offers a virtual bookstore through the Follett Virtual Campus bookstore (rcccshop.com). The customer service team is available by phone at 800-381-5151 or csvirtual@efollett.com.
