Hey guys I’m currently in the cep program and just saw that this thread had been started. If you guys do have any questions can message me on here if needed about the complio process and how financial aid worked for us for Fullerton at least. I’ll try to answer or give my email via private message for those who would like. But we’re going into our final weeks so will be hectic.

Just to go off Nikern to let it be known that we have only had 6 people drop from the cep cohort. Also that with the fall 2019 group we got a whole new curriculum so somethings were a trial at times. But no program can be perfect, I’ve come to learn that with rcc. Some things you don’t like and some things are great, but I think that can happen with any program.

So what can we expect our first semester??? What does the schedule look like for CEP vs ADN?

Do you how much money needed to be paid out of pocket for the adn part(not covered by bog) ? How much is it for the cep, if someone gets the full amount from fafsa does that usually cover? Is it paid all in one or by semester?

Days might change for the incoming semester but we were there 5 days a week from basically the first 9 weeks. There were like two thursdays and mondays we had off after week 6. But the scheduling is weird and our Fullerton class is on fridays. Also extra time is put in depending on if your I involved in SON or riverside free clinic. I really only have had like 5 thursdays off that I have taken since the start of the semester. That's for cep and were are basically there most days from 7 am till about 5 depending on the day. Adn was basically the same honestly because while we had our Fullerton class fridays they had clinicals on fridays instead. But they got some Tuesday mornings off once we started clinicals, but still had to come in for seminar by 2.

The biggest pay out for most of us was for books. But bog covered all my class fees and If I believe depending on how much you get from fafsa it should cover the tuition. But most people did take the loans to help. If I had taken out just the fafsa I would of been fine for tuition from Fullerton, it would of been tight but good still.

For everything that was bought before the semester which was books, uniform, skills bag and other things I needed for school it was around 1800.
