We’re here for you. Our job is to make sure your college experience is everything it should be — exciting, stimulating, and successful.
We’re here for the community. Richland Community College’s mission is to make quality education affordable and accessible to everyone in the Richland district. That’s why Richland offers a variety of educational programs at low costs to students.
We guarantee an equal education opportunity without regard to gender, marital status, color, race, religion, national origin, or disability.
To keep working for you, we need to know what you want. While at Richland, you may be asked for your input and opinions on such things as your favorite television or radio stations, how to make the schedules more user friendly, and other College issues. Through course evaluations, student forums, student government, and student/faculty conferences, we keep the lines of communication open!
