You will be busy Saturday, February 7 for New Student Orientation. All new students (first-year, transfer, commuting, residential, and international) are expected to participate in New Student Orientation. Living on campus? You’ll move in on Friday, February 6.
Before you dive in to your New Student Forms, we recommend that you bookmark MyMaconWeb (MMW). You’ll log in to MMW with your RMC username and permanent password. This platform houses a lot of useful, personalized information. For now, you can focus on your New Student Forms. When you enter MMW, click ‘Student’ at the top of the page, and drop down to ‘New Students’ – this landing page tracks the submission of your New Student Forms.
These forms work together as part of our orientation and advising process for new students. You’ll register for events and share your interests and goals so we can get to know you better!
Section 1: Register for Your New YJ Events
Section 2: Tell Us More About You
Section 3: Your First Classes at RMC
These forms open on January 1. All students living on campus (Residence Housing) or off campus (Commuter) must apply for housing. Randolph-Macon College students are required to live on campus all four years, so housing is guaranteed; we just call it an application process!
All students must complete this form to acknowledge that accommodations are available at Randolph-Macon, and to learn how to request accommodations for physical, psychological, or learning differences or disabilities.
This form educates students on the availability of accommodations and the accommodations registration process. It is not the starting point, or a substitution for registering with Accessibility Resources. To facilitate a smooth transition between high school and college, students are encouraged to contact Accessibility Resources as soon as possible. This will allow ample time to discuss accommodations and plan for a smooth transition.
This multi-section form includes personal and parent information verification, emergency and missing contact information, tax dependency status, 1098-T tuition statement information and financial responsibilities.
Access the student health portal to fill out three electronic forms AND upload your provider signed Immunization Record to complete your Health History Record. This is required of all new students.
Student athletes, recruited to play a varsity sport, must complete these steps AND the New Athlete Pre-Participation Packet.
Register the vehicle you will have on campus or request a vehicle waiver.
We’ve shared items that you can begin working on now or schedule to take care of later.
Your RMC email account will be your main point of contact with your professors, advisors, and college officials. Be sure to check your email frequently so you can stay up-to-date with what’s happening on campus!
Starting in late January, students can grant access to parents or other family members after they are registered for classes. Granting permission to a family member will allow them to view financial information (your bill), financial aid information, and academic information as you direct.
Student bills will be available in early January. You can view your bill on MyMaconWeb by clicking on the ‘Finances’ tab.
All final transcripts (high school, dual enrollment, college) and test scores (AP/IB) are due BEFORE you arrive in February. Be sure they are sent by your high school and/or colleges!
Visit MyMaconWeb and click on ‘Get Connected’ – find your device and follow the steps to onboard your device! After you’ve done that, download and install your free Office 365 subscription. This is also available on the ‘Get Connected’ page of O365!
All members of the campus community should enroll themselves in emergency alerts. These alerts are sent via text message in the event of dangerous weather, fire, or other threats to campus. Families of Yellow Jackets can also enroll.
All rooms are equipped with furniture, blinds, and include internet, phone, and cable access. You should bring all you need for comfort and day-to-day living. Residence Life has a helpful list of essentials that will help you transform your room into your home away from home.
Once you have your housing assignment, you can learn more about your residence hall (including room specs and blueprints) by visiting our housing options page.
After you register for classes, visit the Campus Store website to find and purchase your textbooks! For many texts, there are affordable rental and used book options available to students!
Also make sure to register for the Yellow Jacket Loyalty Program with the Campus Store! When you create an account, you will be able to shop on the website, place online orders, and receive points on all purchases (both in-store and online)!
If you plan to work on campus, you MUST have original documents that show your identity and authorization to work. Copies WILL NOT be accepted.
To facilitate a seamless registration process, please review the important information below before your scheduled course registration.
Registering for classes is a really exciting prospect for incoming students. We’ve spent time asking each student about their preferences, and have utilized that information to pre-select their courses for the spring semester.
The Office of Advising Resources, in partnership with the Registrar’s Office and Department Chairs, will use your Yellow Jacket Orientation & Pre-Advising Form to guide spring course selections. These courses will reflect your interests and anticipated major and/or fulfill pillars within the RMC Curriculum. You will receive your schedule at your go.rmc.edu email, along with an invitation to talk through your schedule, make appropriate adjustments, and address any questions.
The Office of Advising Resources will start registering new students for spring courses on January 5. To begin registration, your new student forms, official transcripts, and credit evaluation must be on file. The process is thoughtful but efficient; however, additional time may be required if the office needs to consult with department chairs on appropriate course placement. Once complete, you will receive your schedule at your go.rmc.edu email address.
Each course will fulfill a requirement for the core curriculum (or Pillars), the student’s intended major, and/or count toward the 120 credit hours minimum required for graduation. While this process is very intentional, we understand that some students may wish to make adjustments to their schedules ahead of the spring semester. When you receive your course schedule, you will be instructed on how to make changes, book a meeting to review your schedule, and/or ask questions.
Some of our most frequently asked questions about registering for spring semester courses!
The goal is to start your semester with a minimum of 12-13 credit hours. These courses will reflect your interest and anticipated major and/or fulfill pillars within the RMC Curriculum. You can review your courses and make changes before classes start on Monday, February 9.
Great question! Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the RMC Curriculum and the requirements of the majors/minors you are considering. You can find majors/minors and program requirements in the Academic Catalog (please use the side navigation in the Academic Catalog to see each program).
All students will complete two courses in one foreign language. RMC does not use placement tests. Instead, if a student would like to continue in the same language they took in high school, the Department of Modern Languages has already reviewed their application file to determine the best placement. Your placement will be available to you during registration.
Students with college credit for a modern language (that have not yet completed the foreign language requirement) will continue with the next course in the sequence.
During your registration appointment, you will access and navigate the MyMaconWeb platform. You’ll be doing this alongside an academic advisor. However, you’re responsible for the following:
Need to reset your password? Click the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) at https://aka.ms/sspr. Install the Microsoft Mobile app on your phone and add your RMC email account.
Be sure your DUO is setup on the personal device you’ll have with you on your registration day. If you receive a new cell phone after initial Duo enrollment, you will need to re-sync the Duo Mobile app even if it’s the same line that’s tied to your phone’s hardware. Re-enroll or we can send you an SMS to sync your new phone to your Duo Mobile account.
