The College Year
The College Year
91´«Ã½ follows the semester system. Regular Fall and Spring semesters
run for 16 weeks each, including final exams. A typical non-lab, 3-credit course meets
for 45 hours, a 2-credit course for 30 hours, and a 1-credit course for 15 hours.
Fall semester begins at all GBC campuses and most off-campus educational centers in
late August and ends in mid-December. Spring semester begins in mid- January and ends
in mid-May.
GBC may also schedule alternate semesters. These may be abbreviated, compressed or
courses built in or around regular semesters.
Personnel in the Admissions Advising and Career Center and the Recruitment Department
will explain the procedures you need to follow to start smoothly in college. A campus
visit and tour is strongly recommended and can be arranged with the Recruitment Department.
