Students that haven't applied or registered for curriculum courses within the past two years, are considered new students and must reapply and complete the admissions process.

CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS

STEP 1. DETERMINE IF YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR STUDENT INFORMATION

CURRENT STUDENTS: "Current" is defined as students enrolled in curriculum courses in the current semester or students that have registered for classes anytime in the previous two semesters.

Current students will need to update their admissions file if their Name, Address, Phone Number or Program of Study has changed. If you have no changes, you may proceed to Step 2.

To update your record, you may complete a "Name Change" and/or "Change of Address/Telephone Number" form. Name change forms require legal documentation. For program changes you will need to go to the Enrollment Services or the Academic Advising Office, located on the 2nd floor of the Medlin Campus Center, Room 201on the Jamestown Campus, or see an academic advisor at the High Point or Greensboro Campus. A counselor must sign your program change form. To download these forms see the links under "Helpful Forms".

NOTE: If you are applying to a limited enrollment program, you need to complete a new admissions application each year. You will need to obtain the Limited Enrollment Program packet from Enrollment Services or you may print it from the Limited Enrollment Link at www.gtcc.edu.

Reminder: Current students must have all required transcripts in by the end of their 1st semester with Guilford Technical Community College or it may prevent future registrations.

STEP 2.  INVESTIGATE FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid awards may be checked on WebAdvisor, www.gtcc.edu. If your award amount does not show in WebAdvisor see Step 6. Awards are listed by semester. For books and supplies check the bookstore website for Financial Aid purchase dates. Go to the main webpage, www.gtcc.edu click on Students link, Bookstore on the right side of the page. If your award amount does not show in WebAdvisor see Step 6.

STEP 3. MEET WITH YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR

If you are in the College Transfer Program, Developmental Classes or applying to one of the Limited Enrollment Programs visit the Academic Advising Center in the Medlin Campus Center, 2nd floor, room 201.

This will ensure:

• Proper sequence of course selection; and,
