"With so much uncertainty due to the pandemic, and many of our students experiencing severe economic losses, we did not want to give them any added financial burdens that could impact continuing their studies," RVCC President Michael J. McDonough said in a statement. "RVCC’s high quality, innovative education transforms the lives of our students, offering them a pathway to transfer to a four-year school or gain the necessary skills to succeed and thrive in the workforce of today and the future. We want to make sure our students can continue to move forward in reaching their educational goals."
