This is an important update from Richmond Community College about our next steps as our students and faculty work to complete our current classes while mitigating risk to the corona virus.
Student Access
Most of our campus buildings are restricted to approved college personnel, but we are going to provide limited access to students on Wednesdays beginning March 25. This effort is to support our students who face challenges with Internet and computer access.
The Academic Success Center and Library on our Hamlet campus and the Covington Street Building on our Scotland County campus will be open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for students to work on assignments or take a proctored test.
College personnel will be taking temperatures with a non-evasive procedure for anyone entering these buildings, so if you are sick, please stay home. Students must bring a current student ID, and for the safety of your children, they must stay at home.
Student-use WiFi will be available starting Monday, March 30, in the parking lots of the Cole Auditorium in Hamlet and Morgan Center in Laurinburg. WiFi will be limited to school-related activities.
Graduation
The College and community will be celebrating student accomplishments when courses are finished and degrees are earned.
RichmondCC is happy to announce we have rescheduled 2020 graduation to Aug. 7.
The separate pinning events for Medical Assisting, Dialysis and Nursing will occur on Aug. 5.
Our Graduation Fair will also be occurring on Aug. 5.
More details about these events will be released closer to August.
Future classes
Summer registration is going on right now. The College will provide a full schedule of courses this summer.
