WELCOME TO RDC

We’re thrilled that you are looking at RDC as a possible option for your students. RDC is college the way it should be … great programs, great people and a great campus … all right in the heart of central Alberta.

RDC is able to offer a genuine educational experience - small enough not to be intimidating, but big enough to offer independence, experience and provide our students with a great education. RDC has adapted with the changing economy and offers a practical grass roots “how to” approach to education.

Because our students are at the core of everything we do, you can feel confident that RDC will provide your student with an education that prepares him or her to succeed in their career and life.

CERTIFICATES, DIPLOMAS, APPRENTICESHIPS & DEGREES

RDC offers more than 75 different programs to choose from ... including certificates, diplomas and apprenticeships, as well as University Transfer and degree completion programs through the University of Alberta, University of Calgary and University of Athabasca.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

One of the most obvious ways we can help is through financial support. Through an increased bursary, scholarship and awards program, we’re making every effort to ensure that every student has the opportunity to attend college. Last year alone we gave away 480 scholarships and awards totaling approximately $390,000. Check out our awards and scholarships for a detailed listing, including our guaranteed scholarship for every entry level student coming directly from high school with an average of 85% or higher. We know your student has worked hard to get this far … this is our way of saying ‘great job!’ Based on that, we’ve designed everything about RDC to ensure his or her time with us is the very best it can be!

VOLUNTEERING

Do you think your student is looking for a way to give back to the campus or community while studying? Why not take a study tour and experience a new culture, or sign up with a campus club or committee and let their voice be heard? Keep the earth clean by participating in our Green Campus initiative, volunteer with the Students’ Association, or share their brilliance as a student tutor. There will never be a lack of opportunities for students to grow at RDC.

So again, thanks for researching RDC as an option for your students. We are confident that from the moment he or she walks through our doors they’ll find this is college the way they imagined it would be.
