Do you need a flexible class schedule?
Do the demands of work and/or family make it hard for you to come to campus on a regular basis?
RTC's courses can help you achieve your educational goals. All of our eLearning courses, no matter the delivery method (modality), meet the same objectives as traditional courses. They are academically rigorous and transfer to other institutions.

RTC is a web-enhanced college
As a web-enhanced college, all RTC courses use the online learning management system (LMS) Canvas to provide all students with the following course information:
- course expectations/outcomes (Canvas syllabus)
- grades (Canvas grade book)
- due dates (Canvas calendar)
- end-of-quarter course evaluation (provided over last week of each quarter in all Canvas course nav menus)
- and more!
