A Message from the Community College of Rhode Island

Your child’s journey starts at CCRI.

As your children begin to navigate life’s open roads for the first time, safety is always the number one priority. At the Community College of Rhode Island, we’re invested in your children’s future, both behind the wheel and in the classroom.

It’s never too early to start thinking about your child’s educational journey. With two years of free tuition through the Rhode Island Promise scholarship; more than 90 degree programs to choose from; seamless transfer paths to Rhode Island College, the University of Rhode Island, and myriad four-year colleges, plus 60 years of history as a key driver in the state’s workforce and economy, CCRI remains the smart choice.

Through R.I. Promise, all Rhode Islanders coming right out of high school are eligible to pursue associate degrees at CCRI tuition free, and with our newly-launched One Stop Student Services, our four main campuses provide an all-inclusive, easily-accessible hub for students to get what they need when they need it, whether it’s financial aid assistance, counseling, advising, or help with registering for classes.

CCRI’s goal is to offer a high-quality, affordable education to all Rhode Islanders and prepare you for the next step in your journey, either transferring to a four-year college to pursue a bachelor’s degree or entering the workforce through one of our many free certificate programs.

CCRI has it all, but, more importantly, has your student’s best interests in mind. Many have started with us through our Driver Education program — or Early College opportunities — and remained through the most informative years of their lives. We’re proud to play a role in helping students find their path to success. It begins at CCRI, the smart choice for Rhode Islanders since 1964.
