POLICIES

Course Repetition Policy

In 1993, the N.C. legislature enacted a law that requires anyone, including senior citizens, who takes the same occupational extension course more than twice within a five-year period to pay an additional cost of $6.41-$7.12 per scheduled hour. You are exempt from this policy if you are required by law to have certification/licensure.

Who May Register?

If you are 18 years old or older, you may register for a course. Applicants who are still enrolled in high school, but are at least 16 years of age, should secure authorization from their high school principal in the form of a letter. A letter must be secured each term the student wishes to take a course(s).

When To Register

Project Management Essentials & PMP Certification Prep

The Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) has grown rapidly to become a major project management qualification in North America and Internationally. Rapid growth has seen the number of PMP’s jump from the start of the qualification in the 1980s to approximately 10,000 in January 2000 and to a current total of over 600,000 active PMP’s in over 190 countries as of February 2014.

Students can obtain parking stickers at any GTCC Campus Police office or the cashier office in Jamestown. Parking permits (stickers) are valid at all GTCC campuses. Some programs require malpractice insurance. These fees, where applicable, are included in the published course fee.

Refunds

The College will make a 100% refund of registration fees if you officially withdraw from class before the first class meeting. Also, if a class is canceled or full, GTCC will make a full refund. The College will refund 75% of the registration fee (of tuition only) if you officially withdraw from the class on the first day of class or before the class reaches the census date. The census date varies from class to class. Refunds are processed on a monthly basis. However, please allow 6-8 weeks to receive the refund. The College refund policy is established by state legislative action and is subject to change without prior notice to students. The refund policy stated above was in effect at the time this catalog was published.
