GCC has partnered with ReUp Education to reach out to former GCC students who have had to put their studies on pause.

GCC is proud to participate in the Education to Workforce Marketplace, a partnership between the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and ReUp Education. This statewide initiative is designed to re-engage adult learners with some college credit but no credential. GCC is committed to enhancing student success by increasing credential attainment, growing a skilled workforce, and reducing barriers for adult learners.

If you are identified as an eligible participant of this free program, a ReUp Success Coach will connect with you and guide you through the re-enrollment process. ReUp Coaches will help you determine if returning is right for you and what resources you will need to successfully complete your academic journey at GCC.

Note: if you are returning after less than a year (two consecutive semesters) away from GCC, you do not have to reapply. Contact your advisor or the Advising Center to determine what steps you need to take to re-enroll at GCC. 

How to Apply as a Returning Adult Learner

1. Apply for Readmission

If you’ve been away for a calendar year or more and left in good academic standing, complete the free application for readmission and submit additional documentation if applicable.

If you left GCC on academic warning, academic probation or were academically suspended or dismissed, please contact Carter McClintock, mcclintock@gcc.mass.edu. Students who were academically suspended or dismissed need to submit an academic appeal before returning to take classes.

Complete an online application and submit your official high school transcript (or equivalent) and previous college transcripts (if applicable).

Apply Online

Official high school transcripts with graduation date can be sent by your school official via email to admission@gcc.mass.edu, or a physical copy can be mailed to GCC.

Request GED®/HiSET® scores to be at diplomasender.com.

Home school graduates should request a letter from their local school district’s superintendent’s office confirming the exact date of completion of an approved homeschool plan and that the student is not participating in school-sponsored activities. If you have not submitted a homeschool plan for the academic year, please reach out to the Office of Admission for assistance.

2. Questions? Meet with Us!

If you have questions about the readmission process, get in touch! Be sure to identify yourself as a ReUp student.
