Congratulations and welcome to River Parishes Community College (RPCC)! On behalf of our amazing faculty and dedicated staff, we are honored that you chose RPCC. Making the decision to attend RPCC is a great choice. RPCC offers affordable and high-quality education and workforce training that will prepare you for a great career. To help ensure your success, we provide timely student services such as academic advising, career counseling, tutoring and much more – all designed to keep you on your path to success. For more than two decades, students from across Louisiana and beyond have selected our college for credits to transfer to universities as well as to earn degrees and short-term certificates to pursue their specific career goals.

At RPCC, our mission is as far-reaching as the students and communities we serve. Students choose to attend RPCC for many reasons, but at the heart of their decisions is their belief in the promise of an education for a new life. A rewarding experience is available to students from all walks of life seeking to achieve success in their education journey at RPCC. High school students have the option of partnering with RPCC through dual enrollment programs at their local high schools. Along with our associate degrees, there are numerous technical programs that culminate in either certificates or diplomas. Our technical and health sciences programs have state-of-the-art training facilities for those in search of job training and workforce skills. And our adult basic education program, WorkReadyU, provides an opportunity for students to earn the high school equivalency and acquire other life skills training. This variety of program offerings is what makes RPCC an educational and workforce training destination. I am proud to represent this vibrant community of individuals with different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

We are one of twelve community colleges within the Louisiana Community and Technical College System. Our numerous business, industry, and community partners include BASF, Shell, ISC, Emerson, Marathon, CF Industries, Nova Chemicals, Valero, DOW, and the United Way of St. Charles.

At RPCC, our goal is to provide you with “Legendary Service” in a safe, fair, and welcoming environment for all. If you need advice or help, please reach out to our faculty and staff. If you believe we are not meeting our goal of providing “Legendary Service” or living up to your expectations, please reach out to me directly at qtaylor@rpcc.edu. We are all here to help you succeed. At RPCC, you can truly, Start Here – Go Anywhere.
