Access your MyGCC and email accounts. Your login credentials were sent to you in two separate emails. The first contained your username and student ID number, and the second contained a temporary password. Use these to log in to your MyGCC account and set up your permanent password. Once your permanent password is set, you will use these login credentials to access your MyGCC, student email, and Moodle accounts. It may take up to a half hour for your permanent password to work for your student email and Moodle accounts.

Do you want to receive credit for classes you've taken at another college? For a review of transfer credit, request official transcripts from all previously attended colleges and universities to be sent to the Office of Admission. If you last attended GCC over five years ago, you will need to resend all college transcripts for evaluation.

Determine course placement. We use multiple measures to determine which classes are right for you. Discuss your options with the Advising Center before you make an appointment to take a placement test.

Are you in a program that requires a CORI? Some programs of study require a CORI check. If this applies to you, you will find the CORI form in your enrollment checklist in your admission portal.
