Admission Requirements

Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) admits non-immigrant students with proper authorization through the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Application for admission should be made at least two months prior to the semester in which an applicant plans to enroll. Non-immigrant students are treated as non-resident students with respect to tuition and fees. The college cannot provide financial aid to foreign students; therefore, students must have sufficient funds to cover all living expenses, tuition and fees while attending the college. Student housing is not available on campus and foreign students are expected to make their own arrangements for housing.
