A message from the President The revitalized and redesigned core building has strengthened the very core of GCC. Symbolically, this new building is the physical embodiment of GCC’s core values. GCC now has a building that matches the excellence of the teaching and learning experience. As each student enters GCC, she/he will experience fewer barriers and increased access. The 44 front steps that were a physical and emotional barrier since 1973, were removed and replaced by a level walkway into the new entry. Elevator access at the front door lifts students to every floor of the college with glass-enclosed north and south passages opened for the first time. Students can engage with staff in offices on the first and second floors purposefully integrated with student services and student success in mind. On the third and fourth floors, students, faculty, staff and our community will find a magnificent new library and learning commons designed to open the horizons of all who enter. All students, faculty and staff can once again join together in our new dining commons. Just as we gather in our kitchen at home, our cafeteria is the space in which community is created. And our new kitchen is cooking up some of our local farms’ finest produce. The new building is designed to impact positively our natural environment with sustainability and energy conservation and self-generation being a key expression of the colleges’ values. GCC’s strengthened core is the beacon of light it represents to the students and community that we serve. Education is a lifelong journey, and we are pleased that you would consider GCC along that path. If there is anything we can do to help you along the way, please call me or stop by my office.

Alumni PrOFile Caretia Fernandez ’99 Regional Director of Business Development for a residential treatment center Caretia attended the GCC Educational Transitions Program, a partnership with Amherst High School for high talent/high risk students. She simultaneously received her high school diploma and GCC degree, and then transferred to UMass, majoring in the Social Psychology of Religion. Caretia then worked at a therapeutic boarding school for adolescents, which resonated with her because of her own story. She went to Smith College School for Social Work, where she received her Masters Degree. She is now a Regional Director of Business Development for a residential treatment center for adolescents in Utah, where her responsibility is to establish relationships with professionals in the Northeast who work with a similar population of young people. Caretia continues to live in the area and says of GCC, “My time and experience there satisfied my intellectual needs and provided me with an opportunity to create relationships with classmates who had rich life stories, converse with my professors, and flourish in a community where people knew much more than just my name.” We make every effort to offer our classes as indicated in this Course Guide. Occasionally, there are changes beyond our control. For up-to-date information on all courses, visit our website: www.gcc.mass.edu.

Admission to a degree or certificate program requires a high school diploma, a G.E.D., or successfully passing a federally approved Ability-toBenefit Test. We do not require entrance examinations such as SATs or ACTs. The college requires a placement test of anyone who has not completed previous college work in selected English composition or mathematics courses. Health Occupations programs hold informational meetings to describe entrance requirements to the RN, LPN, and Paramedic programs. 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. If you have questions, ask one of our admission representatives.
matriculation Matriculation means formal admission into a degree or certificate program. Only matriculated students are eligible to be considered for financial aid and graduation. To matriculate: 1. Apply online at www.gcc.mass.edu/admission. If you need a paper copy call the Office of Admission at (413) 775-1801 and one will be sent to you. 2. If you are accepted into a degree or certificate program and would like to receive transfer credit for previous successful college work that may be applied to your program of study, official transcript(s) must be sent directly from those institutions to our Office of Admission. After evaluation you will receive written notification of those courses/credits applicable to your program. NOTE: It is not necessary to matriculate to take courses at Greenfield Community College if you do not intend to seek a degree, certificate, or financial aid.

Only matriculated students are eligible for federal and state financial aid. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid so we may determine your eligibility. Please note: Financial aid awards do not necessarily cover all college tuition, fees, and other costs associated with attending college.

Individual instruction on a wide variety of western instruments, as well as some nonwestern instruments. Individual instruction is also available for music technology and computers (i.e. midi/computer notation), but not as a primary instrument for music majors. These are college level, letter-graded courses that require student commitment to study and practice. MUS 130 is a 1 credit course in which students and instructors meet for one-half hour per week. MUS 230 is a 2 credit course in which students and instructors meet for one hour per week. The music department assigns instructors to students prior to or during the first week of each semester. Students intending to take lessons should contact the music program coordinator at (413) 775-1228 prior to or not later than the first week of classes each semester. A studio instructor fee is charged for lessons and is non-refundable after the college deadline. Lesson fees are covered by financial aid like any other course fees. Students interested in music and technology may consider attending periodic music keyboard/computer tutoring sessions in the MAC lab. The music department also offers a variety of workshops and master classes on a regular basis. Questions regarding music faculty and lessons should be addressed to the GCC Music Department Coordinator at (413) 775-1228. Questions regarding registration, payment or refund of fees, or course withdrawal should be addressed to the Registrar’s Office at Student Services, (413) 775-1801.
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/programs/healthoccupations/, 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.
