Rockland Community College Early Admit Program

Rockland Community College is one of the campuses of the State University of New York that has college credit programs for high school students to increase access to college level learning. The Rockland Community College Early Admit Program (RCCEAP) is one of two options for high school students.

RCCEAP is open to high school seniors who wish to complete their senior year of high school by matriculating and registering as full-time students at RCC and taking courses only on the campus of Rockland Community College/Haverstraw.

All students seeking admission to the Early Admit Program must start the application process with their guidance counselor. Home schooled students must contact Admissions directly at 845-574-4224.

All Early Admit students must:

1. Have an overall grade point average of 80/2.66 at the time of acceptance into the program and must complete their junior year with an 80/2.66 or better. Home schooled students will follow the guidelines as outlined by the NY State Department of Education;
