Admission Classification and Requirements

Admission Classification and Requirements

Any person meeting one of the following criteria may be granted admission to GBC:

Admission of Regular Students

1. Graduate of a high school that is accredited by a regional accrediting association as defined by the U.S. Department of Education or approved by a state board of education or other appropriate state educational agency.
2. Recipient of a high school certificate or equivalency (GED).
3. 18 years of age or older.
4. Transfer student in good standing from another college or university.
5. Students may be required to take a placement test prior to registering to determine the appropriate course for enrollment.

Admission to GBC does not mean a student would have unrestricted entry to any course or program. Some courses and programs may have additional admission requirements. Students who need basic skills instruction may be required to enroll in developmental coursework prior to enrolling in some GBC courses.

Admission of Students Under 18 Years of Age

1. Any applicant under the age of 18, but older than 16, who doesn’t meet one of the above listed requirements can apply and complete our high school enrollment packet in conjunction with their high school guidance counselor (or parent, if homeschooled).
2. Any high school student, age 15, can apply and complete the GBC dual enrollment online form in conjunction with their high school guidance counselor or parent (if home schooled) to be considered for admission at GBC. Applicants seeking to enroll at the age of 15 years will be required to take the accuplacer test and place into ENG 101 (maximum of 2 attempts) and meet with a GBC representative for an interview to gauge their college readiness to ensure they are academically prepared for college level coursework.
3. Applicants under the age of 15 years old, that have not graduated from high school or have not received a high school certificate of equivalency (GED) will not be admitted except on a case by case basis.
