GCC’s dual enrollment program allows motivated high school or home school students to earn college credit before completing their K-12 educational requirements.  Interested students should work with the GCC Office of Admission as well as with their high school guidance office or home school official to determine if dual enrollment is right for them.

Any qualified student may take classes at Greenfield Community College as long as they meet the specific class requirements—which may mean passing a placement test, prior completion of specific college-level courses, or performance on AP exams.

If you are interested in Dual Enrollment the first step is to attend a mandatory dual enrollment information session. Dates can be found on the GCC Events Calendar.

Steps to Enroll as a Dual Enrollment Student:

1. 1. Attend an information session. Dates can be found on the GCC Events Calendar.
   2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Application. If you need help completing the online application view our tutorial or contact Admission@gcc.mass.edu.
   3. Download and complete the Statement of Understanding and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Form.  Upload completed forms here.
   4. Make an appointment to take placement tests.  You can request an appointment online (www.gcc.mass.edu/testing/register) or by contacting the Testing Center at 413-775-1821. Most students will take the English Accuplacer and students interested in taking Math or Science Courses will take both the English and the Math Accuplacer.   Contact DualEnrollment@gcc.mass.edu for assistance determining which exams to schedule.
   5. Attend a Group Advising Session. Sessions are held every Tuesday from 4pm-5pm on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83605013796
   6. Email DualEnrollment@gcc.mass.edu to schedule an individual advising and registration appointment with your Dual Enrollment Advisor.
   7. Attend a mandatory New Student Orientation.

The cost of classes at GCC is the same for dual enrollment students as it is for all of other regularly enrolled students. Federal financial aid is not available to anyone who does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent (e.g., GED, HiSET). At times there are funding opportunities for students to apply for – just ask the Office of Admission or your Dual Enrollment Advisor.
