A number of courses and programs at GCC require students to satisfy a currency requirement for some required or prerequisite courses. This requirement means students must have taken the course within a stated number of years prior to enrollment in the course or program for which its currency is required. A student who has taken such a course but who does not meet the currency requirement may qualify to take a currency examination. Courses for which a student may demonstrate currency at GCC are:

• BIO 194 Comprehensive Anatomy and Physiology I
• BIO 215 (BIO 195) Human Anatomy and Physiology I
• BIO 216 (BIO 196) Human Anatomy and Physiology II
• BIO 205 Microbiology
• NUR 101 Fundamentals of Nursing

To qualify for a currency examination for BIO 194, BIO 215 (BIO 195), BIO 216 (BIO 196), BIO 205 and NUR 101, a student must submit a college transcript showing completion of an equivalent course with the required grade for a particular program. Students applying to a health occupations program should check the specific grade requirement for that program.  Currency exams may only be taken one time.
