DMS program and Casper

Hello I'm wondering how I should go on about this, it is going to be my first time going to RRC and I am trying to enroll in the DMS program and I understand I have to do a Casper test, I have never done this test and I am wondering if anyone has done it how did it go for you? I am not a super faster typer but I am not a one finger typer either if that makes sense, I suppose im in between so this is my biggest concern

also I'm hearing that this program is extremely competitive, I am wrapping up my prereqs in April, I understand there's a deadline for the application for the program. I just need some help in which order should I do this?

  1. Fill out the application and pay the fee then go and

  2. Get all my transcripts electronically sent over to RRC and wait till i get my transcript from UofW and then send that over after?

  3. apply for CASPER

  4. do casper

  5. wait ? lol.

someone please guide me what to do in order, because i am currently in A&P2 wrapping up in april.

thank you to anyone who took the time to read this !

Application Development and Delivery

Hey! Hopefully I can get some good answers about the program itself.

I was curious as to how this program is compared to MITT or any other Comp Sci program in the city? Also is it any different from the BIT program (I'm aware this is the new program that replaces BIT).

I'm currently working full-time and am wanting to pursue this program and am also wanting to see if they offer classes online as I am busy in the daytime, so I won't be able to attend classes throughout the day.

Thanks!

Help on letter of acceptance completion end dates

Niece vs Nephew's LOA Completion Dates

Both my niece and nephew (international students) are reserved/enrolled in Application Development and Delivery, Fall Term 2025 (28 month diploma including coop). My niece got her LOA around November, my nephew got his LOA around December. I'm working on their study permit and I put their parents to release their info when I filled out their application with them. Unfortunately my nephew has an incorrect completion date of April 2027 while my niece's is December 2027. The program completion date is important to determine the end date of their Study Permit validity.

I inquired with the Officer who handles my nephew's case, but kept insisting that its correct. We asked but she's adamant to have my Niece ask the International Student support if she' has questions. I didn't had this issue before (since I also had previous study permit application for my other nephews which is also started Fall Term)

I don't know who to escalate and not sure what to do. The attestation ends in January 21st for MB and I'm running out of time but they don't seem to care.

How is agpa calculated in nursing?

In order to be considered a post-secondary applicant in nursing, one must obtain 24 post-secondary credits. I want to know, does it matter which courses are taken? Do applicants who have more science related courses have a better chance of getting in or it doesn’t matter and it’s purely about the grade?

Auto body repair

I'm curious if anyone knows who I would need to get in contact with at red river college in winnipeg to have body work done on my truck, i imagine the wait list is pretty long but It's hard to justify 8000 to have a shop do it, anyone have any suggestions?

Is this normal at NDC?

im just posting asking others opinions on this matter. im a student at the NDC campus in the business admin program. i also have some issues and am not sure if im reading too much into this.

there have been 2 instances back to back with random people sitting across from me today, not asking if they could sit there (which is common courtesy, but still good to ask y'know?) they have been very rude with loud phone calls, swearing at their laptops/devices and overall being a nuisance to me trying to get work done. im not complaining if you're nice, but having your stuff everywhere and then being loud is something else.

im in my 2nd year, and have never had this happen before

Peggo card

Hey! I hope the term is starting great for all of you! I just wanted to come with some advice for those who have to bus to college and use a peggo card, DO NOT buy the term e-pass online! I know we are advised to do so by the SA but I had a card stop working at the start of the week because I loaded it online. It was kind of a pain to get a new one and transfer the funds (mostly because of waiting times!). So I asked at the WT office and they said that the system was not supposed to let people buy term passes but they messed up! So if you don’t want to wait a week to get your card I would go directly to load the card at a Winnipeg transit office (according to them shoppers shouldn’t load term passes either).

Any Medical Sonography Ultrasound students willing to share info and advice?

Hey, I’m looking into Ultrasound tech and wanted to know how you like it, what the first two semester schedules are- if you have a picture of the schedule or type what it was like? How the work/school balance was for you? And just the schedule for the program itself?

Very appreciated thank you

Help

I am not currently a student of rrc but I have purchased an online course, how am I supposed to access and get the course material? Everything I see tells me to use my college username and email but do I even have one if I have not actually applied to the school?

Civil Engineering Tech Program Questions

Hey all! I'm considering a career change and looking at the CET program at RRC (either geomatics or environmental stream). I am brushing up on my math at the moment through Khan Academy to apply for either this year or next. I was curious if there are any current or former CET students who would be able to share their experience in the program and post-program. Thanks!

Paying Tuition before Admission Letter???

Hello all, I am an incoming international student and I applied for a Spring start for the program I am applying for at Red River College.

I have submitted all relevant documentation as requested, on the portal and I was told it would take 8 weeks to process the application. However, I just got an email from the international admissions officer that I need to pay my tuition and I have been given a deadline for Jan 3rd to do so - WITH NO ADMISSION LETTER.

This seems very absurd as no update was given on my application itself and I have never heard of such process. I would have asked the officer for the reasoning behind this but the college is closed till Jan 2nd (how convenient)

Is this the regular at this college ? Please kindly advise. Thanks!

Question applying to nursing

This may sound like a really dumb question, but i wanted to apply to rrc nursing after doing anatomy and physiology at uofm,getting a C in both courses. And I know the minimum for RRC is a C+, although my gpa is much above the minimum gpa of 2.5, would my application get rejected right away? I know this may sound odd but i was really just wondering

I just got admitted to RRC and still kind of confused with the system here.

do i register to the classes my self, or will it be assigned to me since it is a first term first year?

and if i do register it my self, do i just need to use the student planning on HUB?

thank you!

Application

Hey all, just read a few posts and it seems that rrc has a long waitlist for most programs. I plan to apply for a business program soon. Just wonder if the website has the apply button available and 'limited seats' indicated, would that mean there is still space and I still have chance to get accepted?

TIA
