  For Example: Fall 2025 Placement Scores – English NJGPA, Hunterdon Central High School
• Email body: Include your name and G Number
• Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing.

• Get the CEP Agreement Form from your high school.
• Be sure to include your RVCC Student G# (RVCC ID) and the course(s) you want to take.
• Once completed, your high school will submit the form to RVCC on your behalf.

Students cannot register themselves—RVCC will register students.

Families will receive a printed invoice by mail. The invoice will contain complete payment information, including the deadline and submission instructions.

Concurrent Enrollment Program students have three options to submit payment:

Option 1: Pay using Lion’s Den (student portal)

DO NOT pay the late fee if you see that on your account. Concurrent Enrollment Students are not charged a late fee.

Please contact the RVCC Help Desk at 908-526-1200 x7887 or email helpdesk@raritanval.edu if you are experiencing issues logging in to Lion’s Den or need to reset your password.

If you are having issues using Lion’s Den to make payment, please use Option 2 which does not require a login.

Option 2: Pay Online (direct online payment method)

• Heads Up: You won’t see your tuition balance using this payment option, so make sure to include the correct amount.
• Not sure what you owe? Email bursar@raritanval.edu and include your G# so they can look it up for you.
• Step 1: Visit Student Payments Non Lions Den.
• Step 2: Complete all sections and include your RVCC Student G# where indicated so the payment can be applied to the right account.

Please include the right part of term and the high school’s name so that your payment can be applied correctly.

“Part of term” or semester refers to the specific time your concurrent enrollment class runs—For example, if your class starts in the fall, list it as “Fall 2025”; if it starts in the spring, use “Spring 2026.”

Option 3: Paying by Mail?

• You can send a check or money order made out to RVCC after you verify the balance:
• RVCC – Finance Office
  P.O. Box 3300
  Somerville, NJ 08876
• Be sure to include your G#, “CEP Tuition” and “Part of Term” on the check or money order so we can apply your payment to the correct account.
  For example: G00000000, CEP Tuition, Fall 2025
• The CEP rate for the 2025-2026 academic year is $240 per CEP course.
  The CEP tuition rate is subject to change.
