luther White iii ’90 market Director Luther White’s drive, leadership, and ability have created a remarkable track record of accomplishments – his most notable being that he is a Multiple Ironman Triathlon Finisher (Wisconsin, Lake Placid and Coeur d’Alene). After GCC, he went on to obtain a Bachelor’s degree from UMass, a law degree from Suffolk and now works as a Market Director of Group 1 Automotive, where he is responsible for 14 automotive dealerships in New York, New Jersey & Maryland. Luther arrived at GCC from the US Air Force. While a student, he served in the MA Air National Guard and worked as a Police Officer in Brattleboro, VT. “GCC was the best place for me to fill the gap between high school and University; it equipped me to continue my education and was an extraordinary experience that created academic confidence while forging lifelong friendships.” He especially recalls Rob Yacubian and “his commitment to excellence, leadership and his ultimate belief in me. My success in life is clearly attached to Rob and I am sure I am not the only Alumni to feel this way.”

The college requires a completed original (copies or faxes are not acceptable) tuition waiver form. The form must be presented at the time of registration. Proof of eligibility must be provided. No refunds will be made for failure to submit the proper waiver form in a timely manner. Some credit-free workshops do not accept waivers of any kind. See page 8.
Massachusetts state law requires that creditfree workshops operate at no cost to (with no tax support from) the Commonwealth. The decision to cancel is made as close to the first scheduled meeting as possible and is based on fully paid fees on that date. We attempt to reach everyone in a cancelled workshop by phone so they can choose another course or request a refund. Sometimes we are unable to reach everyone due to lack of information on the registration form. Completing registration as early as possible helps the college avoid cancellations.
Your schedule confirmation will include your class location. If you don’t know where your workshop is held, please call the Office of Community Education at (413) 775-1605 prior to your first class

All meetings are held at the Downtown Center, 270 Main Street, with the exception of the LPN, which are held at the VA Medical Center in Leeds. Dates can be found at www.gcc.mass.edu/academics/healthocc/schedule.html Several other academic programs limit their enrollment or have different requirements.

General information–Credit in-state Tuition eligibility For the purpose of assessing tuition and fees, each student shall be classified as a “Massachusetts resident” or a “Non-Massachusetts resident.” At the Community Colleges, a person shall be classified as a Massachusetts resident if he or she (or the parent of an unemancipated student) shall have resided in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for purposes other than attending an educational institution (including a private educational institution) for six months immediately preceding the student’s entry or reentry as a student. The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education has adopted this policy for tuition classification purposes, effective July 1st, 2007. The burden of proof rests on the student seeking classification as a Massachusetts resident.

NEBHE day tuition is $39 per credit; this is a special rate for qualifying New England residents. Out-of-state day tuition is $281 per credit. The college offers no reduction in tuition and fees for auditing a course. Credit-free courses are priced individually. Tuition and fees are subject to change with the board of Trustees approval.
Tuition Waivers For those students who are eligible for a tuition waiver, the College requires a completed tuition waiver form. The form must be presented at the time of registration. Proof of eligibility for the waiver must be provided. No refunds will be made for failure to submit the proper waiver form in a timely manner. Generally, fees cannot be waived, except for senior citizens and certain college employees. Special Program fees are not waivable.
senior Citizen Waivers Classes are generally available at no cost to senior citizens (over 60 years of age) who are Massachusetts residents and have not yet earned a bachelor's degree. (This policy excludes books and some additional fees.) Senior citizens who are Massachusetts residents who have already earned a bachelor's degree are generally eligible to enroll in courses and have most of the course fees waived. Enrollment as a senior citizen in courses is on a "space-available" basis. Since the College cannot determine available seating until after the posted registration period, senior citizens must register for classes on or after the day of the first scheduled meeting. Senior citizens must show proof of eligibility and submit the required paperwork each semester. To determine if there is room in a particular class, seniors should call (413) 775-1801 on the day it is scheduled to meet first. For credit-free workshop senior waivers, see page 6.
Charges Your costs will vary depending upon your individual circumstances. Your bill will reflect charges based on the number of credits and type of courses you take. The college has different fee charges for day, evening, summer, intersession courses, and credit-free workshops (see Figure 1). In addition, your residency status and miscellaneous fees may impact the amount of the bill.
How your fees are used
refunds for Credit Courses
registration fee: The registration fee is used to help defray some of the administrative costs of registration.
A full refund is given if a credit course is cancelled by the College. Official withdrawal from a class by the student before the semester begins (not before the specific class begins) results in a refund of all tuition and fees, except for a $20 registration fee.
College service fee: The college service fee helps pay for a variety of academic services, equipment, and supplies. Health service fee: The health service fee helps pay for services provided to students through the College’s Health Services Office. student Activity fee: The student activity fee supports a wide range of student activities offered by the college. These include concerts, movies, dances, music productions, and clubs. other fees: You may be charged other miscellaneous fees which are used to cover specific costs such as program specific fees or returned check fees.
Withdrawals for Credit Courses Formal withdrawal is required—failure to attend class or notification to the instructor is insufficient. Failing to follow the formal written withdrawal process will result in a failing grade for the course and the obligation to pay all charges. The student must complete and submit a Withdrawal Form to the Registrar’s Office. The date of filing will determine whether the student is to receive a refund. If you need to withdraw from the College for health reasons, you may request a medical withdrawal by discussing your situation with the Coordinator of Health Services. A medical withdrawal requires the recommendation of the Coordinator of Health Services and the approval of the Registrar.
Students must submit a signed add/drop form to the Registrar’s Office within • the first 10 days of fall and spring semesters, • the first 3 days of intersession, or • the first 5 days of summer semesters to be eligible for the following refunds*: Charge refund Tuition – day classes 75% Tuition, evening, weekend, intersession classes* 50% Registration fee no refund College Service Fee no refund Health Service Fee no refund Student Activity Fee no refund * Refund deadlines will vary for classes that do not meet for the entire term.

If you meet those criteria, you will be billed by Greenfield Community College for a health insurance policy provided through Massachusetts Community Colleges. If you are already enrolled in comparable health insurance, you can waive the insurance charge on your bill by completing a waiver at the start of the semester, which is available on-line, at http://www.universityhealthplans.com/letters/letter.cgi?school_id=42 The insurance premium is $564 for coverage from January 1 through August 31.

nursinG The Associate Degree Nursing Program prepares you for a career as a nurse, providing patient care for adults and children in varied health care settings. You will be required to take a combination of liberal arts and clinical nursing courses in sequence over four semesters. Some students prefer to complete the program over a longer period of time. Licensed practical nurses have full responsibility for the quality of the health care they provide to patients. The LPN participates in direct nursing care including routine patient care, giving medications, administering treatments of all types, assisting with diagnostic procedures and observing and reporting patient symptoms. The 40-week long program involves at least 30 hours a week of classes, laboratory and clinical practice. At this time, employment opportunities are excellent with graduates of the GCC program experiencing 100 percent employment. A special admission process is required for both programs. Information meetings are held during the year. The schedule of meetings and additional information can be found at www.gcc.mass.edu/divisions/health, or call the information line at (413) 775-1620 and request an Inquiry Packet.

General information We apologize but sometimes courses are cancelled.
Greenfield Campuses main Campus (main and east buildings), one College Drive, Greenfield
Massachusetts state law requires the Continuing Education programs to operate at no cost to (with no tax support from) the Commonwealth. The decision to cancel is made at the close of the posted registration period and before classes meet and is based on fully paid fees on that date. We attempt to reach everyone in a cancelled class by telephone or postcard so they can choose another course or tell us that they would like a refund. Completing registration on time helps the college avoid unnecessary class cancellations.
Conveniently located near the intersection of Interstate 91 and Route 2. Take exit 26 off I-91 and follow the traffic rotary to Route 2 west. Once on Route 2, take an immediate right onto Colrain Road. We are located on College Drive, six-tenths of a mile ahead on the left.
