Thank you for taking an interest in your student’s college
experience. We are as excited as you are that your student
is beginning this new journey at GSC.
From the first contact with our Admissions
Office through advisement, registration,
pursuing an academic program, receiving tutoring
and other academic assistance, becoming involved
in student activities, attending special events
on campus, to obtaining a degree,
students will receive personal attention from our faculty
and staff who are committed to
success.... In 2006 we are being named as one of
four community colleges in the country to
receive an award for our "Best Practices" in
Retention. This is due to the positive attitude
of our faculty and staff toward students, their
assistance outside of class, as well as quality
classroom instruction.
