Accessibility Services

Our goal is to create an accessible and inclusive learning environment for all students. We work to create partnerships between students, faculty, and staff so you can participate fully in a rich and satisfying college career.

Ask about access services if…

You are an enrolled GC student with a documented learning disability, physical or sensory impairment, or psychiatric disability
You had modifications in high school through and I.E.P or 504 plan (colleges don’t have I.E.P.s or 504 plans, but these documents can help begin our conversation)
You suspect you may have a disability that affects your learning and want to explore your options
