If your absences exceed this limit, you must discuss this with your instructor. If you are absent for more than one-fifth of the lecture or lab classes, an instructor can withdraw you from the course without prior notice or refund. This attendance policy applies to credit, non-credit, and audit courses. Graduation Graduation occurs when a student completes the last degree requirement triggering the generation of the diploma. Senior Citizens With an RVCC Senior Citizen Gold Card, persons age 65 or over, living in Somerset and Hunterdon counties, may register in regularly scheduled credit courses on a non-credit, space available basis, free of tuition.
Seniors are responsible however, for general fees and lab fees.
The Senior Citizen discount rate does not include Independent Study courses. Seniors may submit their registration forms at any time. However, their registration will not be processed until five business days prior to the start of classes, provided the space is available and that tuition paying students constitute the minimum number required to offer the course. Seniors can obtain an RVCC Senior Citizen Gold Card at the College's Information Center, located on the lower level of the South Building.
