Fall 2010 Application Deadline

Starting Fall Semester 2010, an application deadline will be in effect at Greenville Technical College. In order to enroll for fall classes, the application and application fee must be received by August 1.

Any student submitting an application after this deadline will not be eligible to enroll for Fall Semester, but will be encouraged to complete the enrollment process by testing, filing the FAFSA, attending orientation, and registering for classes, in order to begin classes in January for Spring Semester 2011.

This important deadline has been added to aid in student success. Studies have shown that students who enroll just prior to the start of classes often are not successful. By adding an application deadline, Greenville Tech can better prepare for the arrival of new and returning students. Students, in turn, can purchase books, make arrangements for child care, and take all steps needed to start the semester ready to succeed.

While the college remains committed to its mission as an open door institution, other policies, practices, and initiatives will soon be implemented to assist with student success. Included will be a mandatory new student orientation designed to acquaint students with the many services available on campus to help them move forward. In addition, application deadlines for future semesters will be announced in the coming weeks.
