Whether you’ve known about us all your life, or you’ve just recently heard of us, we’re glad you’re here. GTCC is a place where you can find your spot, walk new paths and create your future. We know that college is challenging – whether you’re just returning to school from another life venture or you’ve just graduated from high school. We also know that finding the time and the money for school can be tough. At GTCC, we try to make it easier. We have faculty and staff who are willing to help you through the challenges – those who staff Financial Aid, the Counseling Center, Admissions, Academic Advising and others. Of course, we don’t want your time at GTCC to be all work. College is also about your experiences as a student, and our active student government works hard to create great student experiences. You’ll also have the chance to make your voice heard through participation in over thirty student clubs and organizations. We’re glad that you’ve chosen to take a look at GTCC, your catalyst for success.
