Class Scheduling Options at Red Rocks Community College
Late start Classes Fall 2024
We still have class options available for Fall 2024. View the list of class options.
Your Student Experience: When your schedule doesn’t permit a 15-week class, try one of our Accelerated classes. From 10 weeks to 1 weekend, you’ll find a variety of classes to meet your scheduling needs.
An accelerated course takes the content from a traditional 15-week, 3 or 4 credit class, and “compresses” it into a shorter time frame. Your course may meet every day all day for a week, or 5 Saturdays. Our accelerated online classes take a 15-week online class and compress into 7 weeks.
As you plan your schedule, be advised that accelerated classes require more work in a shorter amount of time. Be prepared to schedule extra time for homework and studying during an accelerated class.
There are Hyflex and Remote options available.

Hybrid Courses: Part online, part in the classroom
Hybrid courses at RRCC are courses that combine on-campus classroom instruction with online learning components and/or out-of-class activities. Hybrid learning is for students who wish to combine the flexibility of face-to-face instruction with activities such as online collaborative discussions, group projects, and/or other out-of-class assignments. In a Hybrid course, traditional face-to-face instruction will be reduced but not entirely eliminated. Internet access and an email address are required for the online course activities.
Your Student Experience: A highly flexible experience where the course is delivered entirely remotely in real-time, entirely in person in real-time, or a combination of the two.
Your Student Experience: Link two related courses into one student learning experience.
Now there is an easy and innovative way to increase fundamental skills while completing your general education or degree requirements.
The Learning Communities program at Red Rocks Community College links the content of two related courses – a required general education course with a related course in your program – so learning becomes more relevant and easier for you.
Learning Communities provide a great support network.
RRCC does not offer these courses every semester, but when the timing is relevant. Check back each semester to see if one is available.
Your Student Experience: Class will be taught in real-time, with 100% remote delivery at pre-determined times. There is no scheduled in person attendance. Class will be 100% real-time live meetings delivered remotely via technology.
