Raritan Valley Community College will hold information sessions next month for adults 25 and older who are interested in starting college for the first time, returning to finish a degree, exploring a new career path, seeking professional development, or improving their English.
The Adult Learning Information Sessions will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18 and Wednesday, March 18 at the Atrium at RVCC’s Branchburg campus at 118 Lamington Road. To register for either information session, go to raritanval.edu/visit.
The events will include information about academic and certificate programs, applying to RVCC, learning options and support services tailored for non-traditional students, paying for college, and navigating financial aid resources.
