New Student Checklist

A comprehensive list of what to do after you deposit

All new students complete a series of tasks before starting classes at GC. The New Student Checklist groups these items into two categories: tasks required for course registration, and tasks you need to complete before you begin classes. This list includes items you’ll see in your list of Forms to Complete.

Students can find more information on each checklist item by logging in to MyGC and selecting “New Student Checklist” under the Deposited Students heading.

Tasks required for course registration

New students must complete the following before the Registrar’s Office will register them for classes. Contact information for the office or department to contact with questions is listed with each item.

THE REGISTRAR’S OFFICE WILL BEGIN CREATING NEW STUDENT SCHEDULES THE WEEK OF JUNE 22. PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THESE ITEMS BY MONDAY, JUNE 15.

Tasks required before you begin classes

New students must complete the following list of forms and tasks before the first day of classes. Contact information for the office or department to contact with questions is listed with each item.

Accessing the items listed on the New Student Checklist

Follow the steps below to access the forms you must complete to ensure a smooth transition into Goshen College.

Note: You will gain access to the forms in MyGC 2-3 business days after submitting your enrollment deposit.  

  1. Log in to mygc.goshen.edu with your Goshen College username and password. (Follow the on-screen instructions.)
  2. When you’re logged in, the page you land on will include a section titled “Next Steps,” where you’ll see a link to “Forms to Complete.” Click that link.
  3. A new browser tab will open and show you a list of your “Forms to Complete.” Any items without a green checkmark need your attention.
    1. For items with a “Start” button, click that button and follow the on-screen instructions.
    2. For items without a “Start” button, such as “Final High School Transcript” please make sure you have requested the necessary information – for example, from your graduating high school.

If you have difficulties accessing or completing the forms, contact your admissions counselor (or [email protected]) for assistance!
