Class placement is based on tests scores and
availability.

Remember
If you miss more than 25% of classes RIRAL will consider an early termination from the class, so that your place can be offered to another person.
If you have been terminated for attendance too many times RIRAL may give future admission preference to students with better attendance histories or first time applicants.
Attendance is important! We risk loosing funding if
we don’t meet state requirements.
We can help you find another program if you can no longer attend with us.
