Admission to Our Open-Door College

Admission to Our Open-Door College

Great Basin College is an open-door college which creates an opening to opportunity; it means that no one is excluded from the chance to succeed in college. However, admission to the college does not mean that you have unrestricted entry to a particular course or program. The School of Health Sciences and Behavioral Health, for example, has special or additional admission requirements than the college does in general. Students who need basic skills instruction may spend a semester or two in developmental classes before enrolling in liberal arts or career and technical education courses. Placement tests should be taken before registration to determine the appropriate courses for enrollment.

Dual credit students (students enrolled concurrently in high school and GBC college courses) should note that IEPs and 504 accommodations are not transferred directly from the high school to the college classroom. High school students are advised to submit a current IEP and documentation or report from the school psychologist to the GBC Disability Resource Center along with a request/ intake for accommodations form. All documentation submitted by dual enrollment students will be evaluated based on the GBC reasonable accommodation policy. Please call the GBC Disability Resource Center at 775.327.2336 or go to www.gbcnv.edu/disabilities/ for detailed information concerning the process for requesting reasonable accommodations in GBC courses.

No one can be denied admission on the basis of race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, military status, disability, national origin, gender identity or expression, or genetic information
