If you want to complete a degree or certificate program at GCC or apply for federal financial assistance, you must have a high school diploma or its equivalent or a GED. You may still be able to take classes at GCC without this credential but you cannot receive financial aid nor can you enroll in a degree or certificate program. Students who do not have a high school diploma because they are still enrolled in high school or home school can apply to GCC as dual enrollment students.

No. GCC does not provide campus housing. Students will need to make their own arrangements for housing.

Students who wish to complete a certificate or degree program at GCC and students who wish to apply for federal financial assistance need to complete an application for admission. If you just want to take classes for credit, you don't plan to graduate and you don't need financial aid, you are considered a Guest Student (often referred to as a non-matriculated student). Guest students complete an online registration form to enroll. Learn more about guest students »

If you have applied to GCC, once the Office of Admission has received and processed your application, an acceptance email will be sent to you at the email address you provided on your online application. In addition, to your online acceptance letter you will receive your student account information.  Your login credentials will be sent to you in two separate emails, the first contains your username and student ID number, and the second contains a temporary password.  Use these to log in to your MyGCC account and set up your permanent password.  Once your permanent password is set, you will use these log in credentials to access your MyGCC, student email and Moodle accounts. It may take up to a half hour for your permanent password to work for your student email and Moodle accounts.

Are you sure you're using your GCC username and password? When you applied online to GCC, you created your own Login ID and PIN to allow you to access the online application. These are not the same as your GCC username and password, which is what you use to log into MyGCC, Moodle and GCC student email. Normally applicants receive GCC login credentials within 96 hours of acceptance to GCC. It can take up to 96 hours for new accounts to be activated. If you are a newly accepted student and need help with your GCC username, email and/or password, contact our Student HelpDesk for support.
