Mandatory Online Success Seminar

Every GTCC student interested in registering for one or more online courses MUST complete the Online Success Seminar. This is mandatory. The seminar is free and is located in Moodle.

Accessing the Online Success Seminar is easy:

Log into Moodle
Scroll to the "My Courses" section in the center of the page.
Select “Online Success Seminar” and begin your session

NOTE: A final score of 100% is required to register for online classes.

Seminar Topics include but are not limited to:

Online Student Success Strategies
Online Program and Course Technical Requirements
Online Student Resources Available
Online Student Academic Integrity Requirements

After obtaining the required 100% score, there may be a waiting period of up to 30 minutes before your student account is updated. After your record has been updated, you are welcome to register for your online course; however GTCC students are highly encouraged to work with an Academic Advisor (not required for visiting students) in order to "MAP" out a program course completion plan once the online seminar is completed.

I have completed the online success seminar but I cannot register for classes. Why?
