OFFICES
ACADEMIC SERVICES
Academic Services is responsible for oversight of academic student support, the
Learning and Tutoring Center and the Learning Resource Center, and has oversight
of campus student and personnel issues related to academics.
LIBRARY
GPC Libraries provide reference and instruction services at each campus library, as
well as in classrooms, by phone, email, text, online chat, and social media. Each of
the campus libraries provides a comfortable space for research, quiet study or
collaboration with classmates. The GPC libraries' website links to our online library
catalog (GIL), research guides and multi-format tutorials created by GPC librarians,
and to library hours, contact information, and “how to” sections. The libraries'
website also links to GALILEO databases, containing thousands of full-text articles,
online books, and videos. Off-campus access to library databases is available to
current GPC students, faculty, and staff. GPC library materials are delivered from
one GPC campus to another usually within two business days. GPC students and
faculty may use any of the other 31 University of Georgia (USG) libraries in person or
borrow books from these libraries using GIL Express.
ONLINE CLASSES at GPC
GPC Online provides a variety of online courses and, in some disciplines, a fully
online degree. You can log in at any time – anywhere, and experience the ease and
convenience of iCollege, our online course management tool. GPC online classes can
be taken in combination with on campus classes. A number of communication tools
enable students to interact with faculty and classmates. Some online courses may
require proctoring; refer to course notes when registering for online classes for
details.
A full array of student services and support is available through the GPC Advising,
Counseling and Retention Services (ACRS) Team. Each semester, the ACRS Team
also offers a schedule of online webinars, workshops and activities to give students
the opportunity to interact with other online students, guest speakers and student
support staff.
The tuition rate for online courses is applied separately from tuition for on campus
courses. A student’s residency status has no bearing on the calculation of tuition for
online courses. Go to the college’s web site for up to date tuition information
