Enrollment FAQ

Many students have questions about attending and taking classes at GCC. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions with answers.

A few simple steps is all it takes to enroll at Glendale Community College.

To drop a class that has not yet started, log in to your online student center (for help with the student center use the Student Center Guide), or by visiting the Enrollment Center in person. Students who officially withdraw from credit classes within the deadline will receive a 100% refund for tuition and fees. See Official Withdrawal Deadlines for 100% Refund.

To drop a class that has already started, pick up an add/drop form in the Enrollment Center. Ask your instructor sign the form, then give the completed form to the Office of Admissions and Records by the drop-class deadline noted in your online Student Center to receive a 100% refund.

You only pay for those classes for which you are enrolled. If you are on a waitlist, it is your responsibility to make sure that your financial aid has been adjusted and to make a payment for the class. Failure to do so will result in being dropped from the class.

See Tuition and Fees and how to calculate the total cost of college.
