Welcome to Red Rocks Community College! We are so glad you are interested in taking courses with us.

We also have a US Culture, Life Skills, and Law Lab that is non-credit and is a great option for immigrant students looking to take 36 contact hours worth of classes.

We currently have 2 different English as a Second Language programs.

The first is our Intensive English Language Program which is 20 hours per week from 8am-12pm, Monday through Friday, for 8 to 16 weeks.

If that type of program does not work for your schedule, consider our second ESL option - the Continuing Education/Non-Credit ESL Courses! These courses are taught approximatley 6 hours per week, two evenings per week, for 7 weeks. These courses are meant for busy individuals who do not have time to do extensive amounts of homework but still want to practice their English and learn new language skills.

Since these classes are not for college credit, they are not financial aid eligible. They are a standard affordable price for all students, regardless of residency status. These classes are not available for F-1 students who are required to meet specific full-time coursework requirements. Even though the classes are non-credit, they may meet other requirements for classes requiring a certain number of face-to-face contact hours - such as J-1 Au Pair requirements.

The levels offered for these non-credit courses are below. Please note that we do not offer every single level each semester:

• Basic I
• Basic II
• Intermediate I
• Intermediate II
• Advanced I
• Advanced II

SPRING 2023 Class Announcement:

Hello International Students!

Red Rocks Community College would invite you to our courses that are designed specifically to accommodate Au Pair requirements and support immigrant student needs. We are offering evening ESL courses for both Advanced and Beginner students. In addition, we are running a Lab called U.S. Culture, Life Skills & Law Lab.

About our classes:

 Evening English as a Second Language Courses

• ESL coursers are taught by our experienced instructors. We will have you take a free English placement test to decide which level is right for you.
• If you are interested in our Intensive English Program, please go to rrcc.edu/international for more information.   

U.S. Culture, Life Skills, and Law Lab

• This course is a unique opportunity for all English levels and has beneficial information regardless of if you are brand new to the USA or if you have been here for a long time. It is geared specifically for non-US Citizens.
• If you participated in our “Introduction to U.S. Culture, Life Skills, and Law” class last semester, please know that this course will cover different material in a more experiential learning format.
• If you have not taken the Intro course with us before, this course is still a great place to start since it has been adjusted to accommodate more levels through the experiential learning opportunities.
• In addition to your time in class, this course offers additional weekly experiential learning opportunities. These opportunities are flexible with your weekly schedule and allow you meet your 36 classroom hours requirement.
• Late enrollment to this course will be accepted through the term with opportunities to make-up hours.

All classes meet a 36 in-person class time hour requirement. Each course individually costs $250. If you need to complete 72 hours of in-person class time, please register for two courses. All courses only last for a portion of the semester and can easily be taken back to back. Each course is uniquely different to other courses taught this term.
