RTC Institute partners with colleges and universities to bring high quality, convenient, graduate courses and programs to educators. The college and university partners define all application, matriculation, course, and graduation requirements, and grant graduate credit. RTC Institute serves as the local sponsoring partner for these courses and programs by bringing the courses and programs to local sites. RTC Institute cannot grant graduate credit or degrees. Only our collaborating higher education partners can do so as per their accreditation by the state of New York. Students who have questions or concerns about their academic status, grades, or official transcripts should contact the college or university.
