Welcome to Rockford…now what?
Visiting a college campus can be a little overwhelming. Even activists
need a little help in where to go, who to see, and what to do. The
Rockford College Office of Admission is ready to personally greet
all prospective students and their families and make sure they see
everything they want to see – and even more.

Not only can you and your family see the campus, but
you can also meet with an Admission Counselor who
can help you through every step of the Admission process
– from answering any questions you may have
to helping you apply that very same day. In addition,
your application fee will be waived when you fill
out an application during your visit.

Parking. You’ll find that Rockford has
ample parking. We think it’s best to park in Lot A
- the large parking lot to the east of the main college
road after you enter the campus from Business 20/East State
Street. Parking
