The events provide another opportunity for enrolling for classes, in addition to the assistance offered weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the main campus; 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at full-service locations in Dexter, Malden, Kennett and Willow Springs; and by appointment at Three Rivers – Sikeston.
“We know that it can be hard for prospective students in the outlying areas of our service region to get onto our main locations to register for classes,” said Chris Adams, Director of Enrollment Services at Three Rivers College. “These events are designed to bring the same ease of registering for classes that you experience at Poplar Bluff or Kennett to our whole service region.”
Prospective students who have already applied to Three Rivers and completed the COMPASS test or similar placement test can register for classes at the events. Attendees who have not completed a placement test or their application for admission will receive help in setting up an opportunity to do so. There will also be a special COMPASS test session held at 9 a.m. on August 3 at the Sikeston location, 1400 S. Main in Sikeston. Assistance with financial aid paperwork will also be available at registration events.
Those attending the events can apply for admission or register for classes at any of Three Rivers’ locations or online. Prospective students can search for classes online by going to trcc.edu, clicking on “myTRCC,” followed by “Search for Classes.” For more information on the admissions process, visit trcc.edu or call 573-840-9605.

Richardson’s guest appearance in the enrichment class has become an annual tradition since he was first elected to serve the 152nd Congressional District in 2010. Last year he was able to host the students at the state Capitol in Jefferson City.
For at least 25 years, Jan Desgranges, a retired R-I educator, has led “I’m a Citizen, Too,” teaching students, grades 5-8, how to become productive citizens. Fourth grade teacher Shiela Boyles of Lake Road Elementary has co-taught the popular class since the 2006/07 school year.
