I already bought my graduation heels and they are way too cute to leave at home. We know this is a change! But we have a new track and field and we want to make sure it stays in good shape. Please be mindful that NO heels will be permitted onto the track or field. Wear flat shoes, period. No exceptions! You can wear your cute heels afterwards when you are celebrating your accomplishments! Back to top Okay, I get it, no heels. But what if I forget and wear them anyway on commencement? You won’t let me graduate?! The no-heels policy will be strictly enforced by our staff and security team. There are no exceptions here, sorry! Also, don’t try to walk barefoot. We won’t let you. The field is HOT. Back to top Is there a limit to the number of guests I can invite? Yes. Every student will be given five wristbands for guests. During RSVP, you may request to be waitlisted for additional wristbands. Being waitlisted does not guarantee additional wristbands, but we will do our best to fulfill requests if space allows. Continue checking your student email daily, as this is how we will notify you if additional wristbands become available. Back to top What if my grandma can’t come to commencement? Can she still see me walk? YES! The ceremony will be livestreamed so your family can watch from home. After commencement, the full ceremony will also be available on YouTube so you can watch it again. Back to top My sister has a baby—can they come? Sure! Babies do not require wristbands but must be held the entire time. No seats will be given to babies or children without wristbands. If she prefers a stroller, she can sit in accessible seating where there will be room to keep the stroller. Back to top My uncle uses a wheelchair. Can he come? Of course! Accessible seating is available in the stadium near the entrance. Back to top Can I decorate my cap? Yes! We love seeing your creativity. Just keep it classy — no profanity or anything offensive. Also make sure decorations don’t block other graduates’ views. Glitter it, paint it, bedazzle it — just don’t glue a teddy bear on top! Back to top Can I leave after my name is called? Please remain seated until the end of the ceremony out of respect for fellow graduates. If you leave early due to an emergency, you will not be allowed to return. Back to top Where do I park?

Students eligible for matriculation are provided with a college orientation, placement results, counseling, completion of an educational plan and follow-up services. An important part of the matriculation process is to ensure all necessary requirements for entry into certain classes and for graduation are fulfilled. Limitations on Enrollment Riverside City College offers some courses which place limitations on enrollment. These limitations may include successful completion of courses, successful completion of online tutorials to demonstrate computer skills, preparation levels for math and English, performance criteria, or health and safety conditions. Students who do not meet the conditions imposed by these limitations will be blocked from enrolling in these classes. Verifying Prerequisites/Co-requisites It is the student’s responsibility to know and meet the course prerequisites and co-requisites. These are stated in the course descriptions within the Schedule of Classes and the Catalog. If you have met the prerequisite at another accredited college or university, you must provide verification through one of the following: Submit official transcript(s) and complete a Prerequisite Validation Form . Request must be submitted from your RCCD email account. Submit unofficial transcript(s) or grade reports and complete a Matriculation Appeal Petition . Petitions approved based on an unofficial transcript will be approved for one semester only. This will provide time for the student to request official transcripts from all institutions attended. An appeal using unofficial transcripts will only be accepted one time as a courtesy to the student. If you wish to challenge a prerequisite for courses other than English, Math or ESL on the basis of knowledge, ability, or because of the unavailability of the prerequisite, submit a Matriculation Appeal Petition . Please Note: C- grades and below do not satisfy a prerequisite.  Transcripts are required documentation for courses you have completed at other institutions. We can only accept transcripts from the original institution; courses listed on a secondary transcript are not acceptable. In-progress grades are not accepted. Your transcript must indicate the final grade. To request validation of high school foreign language courses , at least two years are required with a grade of C or better. Please submit official high school transcripts and email [email protected] from your RCCD email account to request a Matriculation Appeal petition. Official transcripts must be on file before submitting the request form. Please refer to submit official transcripts for information on where to submit official transcripts. Challenging Your English Placement Every student has a right to enroll directly in English 1A.  RCC’s English department has decided to no longer offer 91.  Most students will have no block on directly enrolling in English 1A. However, in some instances, you may need to opt-out by filling out this form .  The form should take you just 2-3 minutes to complete. Every student enrolled in English 1A has a Writing and Reading Center (WRC) requirement already embedded in the coursework to support the successful completion of 1A. If essay writing has always been difficult for you, there is more support at no cost to you: English 802.  This zero-unit course supplements the material covered in your English 1A course and offers additional directed instruction to assist your success in English 1A.  This is also a great option to give you more time with your professor .   You can work directly with your counselor/ ed advisor to get enrolled in English 802. ENGLISH PLACEMENT CHALLENGE FORM* *Please allow 2-3 business days for processing. Early Alert Each fall and spring semesters, faculty have the opportunity to participate in Early Alert.
