As Week 2 of winter term winds down, we hope everything is going well and you’re feeling settled in your classes. If you’re feeling uncertain, RCC Counseling is here to help! They can offer study tips, personal counseling, community resources and more. Free tutoring is also available to all RCC students.
The deadline to pay for classes is tomorrow, Jan. 13. If you have excess financial aid after your winter charges are paid, the first day for refunds is also tomorrow. Remember — set up (or update) your refund preference with BankMobile if you haven’t already. If you’ve chosen direct deposit as your preference, it can take an extra 1-2 business days for funds to transfer to your bank account.
There will be no classes and the college will be closed Monday, Jan. 16, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The Diversity Programming Board is hosting an MLK Day celebration, “Leaving a Legacy – Our Role in Democracy,” at 6 p.m. Monday at Newman Methodist Church in Grants Pass; you may also join via Zoom.
