GTCC To Provide Shuttle Service From Some Parking Areas

(Released 8/10/10)

JAMESTOWN - With enrollment at Guilford Technical Community College nearing record numbers on Tuesday (Aug. 10), the school is alerting students to additional places to park.

Besides the parking lots near classroom buildings, parking is available in Lot N and on the drive track. Free shuttle service is being offered from these lots.

Bus passenger drop-off and pick-up is no longer available in front of Medlin Campus Center. Buses stop only in front of Koury Hospitality Center.

Construction was recently started on a parking deck, causing some changes regarding parking spaces and bus stopping points. Construction of the five-story parking deck is scheduled to be completed by next spring.

The latest enrollment figures show 13,016 students already plan to attend the college this fall. GTCC's record enrollments were 13,520 for last fall and 13,594 for spring 2010. Open registration is taking place this week for new students.

Enrollment is running at a 7.9 percent pace over registration for classes last fall, according to figures released from the office of Dr. Alison Wiers, associate vice president of student learning and success.

Wiers predicted earlier that enrollment will be more than 15,000 students this fall.

The final day to register is Thursday (Aug. 12), with classes beginning on Monday (Aug. 16).
