Class Schedule

📢 RCC Class Schedule📢

Starting in Summer 2025, RCC is adopting a new course numbering system as part of Assembly Bill 1111. This statewide change supports easier transfer and clearer degree planning. Under the new system, commonly transferred courses will share the same course numbers across all California community colleges, streamlining articulation with CSU and UC campuses.

This change is designed to reduce confusion for students transferring between colleges, help them stay on track for graduation, and simplify the advising process. RCC will update its catalog and student systems to reflect the new numbering, and counselors will be available to help students understand how the changes may affect their academic plans.

Old Course Number New Course Number
COMM-1: Public Speaking COMM-C1000
ENGL-1A: English Composition ENGL-C1000
POL-1: American Politics POLS-C1000
PSY-1: General Psychology PSYC-C1000
MAT-12: Statistics STAT-C1000

Class Modality at Riverside City College: Take it Your Way!

RCC offers classes in three primary modalities:

In Person Hybrid Online

FULLY ON CAMPUS

On set days and times.
You will meet at a set time with your professor and classmates in a classroom on campus.

PARTIALLY ON CAMPUS & PARTIALLY ONLINE

In a hybrid class, a portion of learning is done in person and a portion is done online.

ONLINE – No scheduled meetings.
REG MEET – scheduled online class meetings
OCC MEET – occasional online meetings

The class is only online, and you will work independently on your weekly assignments.  

  • In-person class sections will note the days and times that the class meets as well as list the building and room number or space where the class will meet. (Noted with a physical location in the schedule)

  • Hybrid class sections require in-person and online participation. Hybrid sections will have ON-LINE listed in the Schedule of Classes and include days/times and building/space for meetings. This gives you more flexibility for another class and job/family responsibilities. (Noted as with a physical location and online in the schedule)

  • Online class sections will be listed as ON-LINE and generally will have no meeting days/times listed. This class gives you a lot of flexibility, but it also requires responsibility. (Noted as online in the schedule)

    Some online classes may have meeting days/times listed as:

    REG-MEET – is an online class with regular weekly meetings via Zoom.
    OCC-MEET – is an online class with occasionally meetings via Zoom. These meetings will be located in the NOTES of the class section.

Affordable, or free, textbooks

We recognize that the high costs of textbooks serve as a barrier that impacts student success. To address this, RCC labels Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) and Low Textbook Cost (LTC) courses in the class finder.

ZTC (Zero Textbook Cost) course sections have no textbook-related costs, including access fees, workbooks, or manuals. These sections might use a textbook that is freely available online or through the RCC Library, the textbook might be provided to you free of charge, or a textbook may not be required.

  • The textbook is available freely online or through the library, OR
  • The textbook is provided to you free of charge, OR
  • There are no required textbooks

Your course might still have other (non-textbook fees) related to it, such as class fees, supplies, or printing.

LTC (Low Textbook Cost) sections are those whose required textbooks can be purchased at the RCC Bookstore for $50 or less, in either physical or electronic format.

Your course might require supplies or have other fees over this $50 amount.

Low cost textbook icon

You can find ZTC (Zero Textbook Cost) course sections from RCC's class finder. When searching the class finder, look for the ZTC icon to the right of the course section.

Zero cost course icon

You can also use the "Only show classes with zero cost textbooks" filter on the sidebar to limit your results to only ZTC sections.

Many of these books can be found freely online, while others might be provided to you or be made available through the library.

Check your course syllabus or Canvas shell for links or more information. Your instructor might also be able to provide more information on each title and on how you can go about accessing it.

Printed versions of some online resources may be available to be checked out through the library or purchased through the bookstore.
