Whatever your goals may be, the Community College of Rhode Island can help you attain
them. Whether you’re starting your college career, returning to school to change careers
or looking for classes for personal enrichment, we have a place for you. CCRI has
an open admissions policy giving everyone who applies an opportunity to pursue higher
education.
Our Admissions Team visits high schools, community events and unexpected places to
meet members of our community. No matter your age or background, we want to hear your
story and know your interests and goals. A casual conversation can lead to a new education
plan for you at CCRI!
CCRI Advantage is a free college success program, that helps students address their
developmental needs while participating and preparing for college level work.
CCRI is your gateway to success. As Rhode Island's largest public institution
of higher education, we welcome over 15,000 students annually, offering 90+ diverse
degree and certificate programs.
For new and current (non-degree) students to explore CCRI, better understand
the admissions process and develop an education plan you can believe in. This is a
smart way to begin!
