We certify veterans who are seeking to use the VA benefits listed above to obtain an Associates degree, complete a Certificate program, or obtain units to transfer to a 4-year University.
We do not determine eligibility of benefits; that is determined by the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
Note: The VA requires their students have a plan he/she understands that lists required coursework for his/her program of study. These plans, developed between an RCC counselor and the student, will serve as a roadmap so that the student can chart his/her progress in completing goals. Since this plan is so important for the student's benefits and being successful in college, it is necessary to first see a counselor to select and discuss the specific program of study. This way, the counselor can gauge the student's interests and aspirations through a personal discussion with the student to make sure he/she is aware of various coursework associated with specific programs and eliminate any misunderstandings about program requirements too.
Ideally, the Educational Plan should only be done one time and a student will work on it during his/her time here at Riverside City College.
