Admissions

Great news! RWC has an open admissions policy, meaning that anyone with a high school diploma or GED is entitled to enroll. You don’t even have to be from Ohio. Out-of-state students are also welcome. All you need to do is to fill out the online admissions application. Then, you pay the small application fee of $40 and have your GED or high school transcripts officially sent to the school.

Keep in mind that although you will be guaranteed acceptance, you aren’t necessarily guaranteed a spot in certain programs or departments. Due to high demand, certain programs of the college require placing your name on the waiting list. Not to worry, though, since you can take general education requirements in the meantime.

The school’s academic advising department will help you select the right courses to keep you on track to graduate or transfer. And if you aren’t a student who already works full-time and you need help finding a job, Career Services will provide you with career counseling or help you to find part-time work.

The Professional Development Center offers seminars in leadership, management, customer service, and many other topics. Courses are offered to help improve skills with office computer programs, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Financial Aid

RWC is extremely cheap for in-state students. Look to pay even less than you would at the main, 4-year campus. This is a great way to save money, given that you will be receiving the same credits and paying a lot less. For nearby Kentucky residents in certain counties, you can apply for Ohio/Kentucky reciprocity and pay the in-state tuition fees.

Financial assistance is available in the form of Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Ohio Instructional Grants, Stafford Loans, and PLUS loans. There are also scholarships available. You simply need to contact Enrollment Services for more information. Keep in mind that The Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation provides local scholarships, as well.
