A guest student is a student who enrolls in one or more credit classes at GCC but does not plan to complete a degree program or certificate at GCC. Guest students are not eligible to receive financial aid from GCC.  Guest students often enroll in GCC classes for January Intersession, Summer Session I or II.

Examples of guest students include:

• Students who are enrolled in degree programs at other colleges or universities and take classes at GCC over January Intersession or during the summer sessions
• Students who take classes for on-the-job professional development
• Students who take credit courses for personal enrichment

If you plan to complete a degree or certificate program at GCC and/or apply for financial aid, or plan to enroll in classes while you are still in high school (also known as Dual Enrollment) you must apply to the College.

How to enroll as a guest student:

1. Complete the online Guest Student Registration Registration Form.
2. If a course requires proof of prerequisites, please upload a copy of student's college transcript (official or unofficial) after completing the form.
3. An advisor from the Advising Center will review the registration form and check that prerequisites have been met through placement testing or transcript submission. If prerequisites are not met, students will not be registered for the class/es and will receive an email from an advisor.
4. After the registration is processed, students will receive two emails to their verified email. One will have their GCC login credentials and the second will have an initial temporary password.
5. Guest students can pay their bill online via the student portal, MyGCC.

Special note regarding students who are auditing: you must check the box for auditing on the registration form. Classes taken for audit must also meet prerequisites.
