GTCC offers Student Orientation Advising and Registration (SOAR) sessions during the fall and spring semesters. (*No SOAR sessions are held for the summer term.) SOAR sessions allow new students the chance to be advised and registered early, for the best choice of classes, and to avoid long registration lines at “Open Registration”. SOAR Advising and registration is conducted by faculty from your program major.

Students should only sign up for one session. It is important that you do not miss your session time. Sessions fill up quickly and you may not be able to get into another session. If you miss your SOAR session and are unable to reschedule, you will have to register at “Open Registration”.

Click here to sign up for a SOAR session.
Students attending SOAR will be advised by faculty from their program major.

If you have taken courses at other educational institutions, please bring a student copy of your transcript to the SOAR session to expedite the advising and registration process.

• Summer students attend “Open Registration for advising and registration.”

New fall and spring applicants will attend SOAR (Student Orientation Advising and Registration) sessions where faculty advisors will assist with advising and registration. (Check GTCC Homepage for SOAR session details.) Students not attending a SOAR session will register during open registration.

Fall Semester 2010 Open Registration: August 10-12. 2010
Spring Semester 2011 Open Registration: January 4-6, 2011

(SOAR Sessions are only held in the Fall and Spring semesters, no sessions are scheduled for the Summer Term.)
After a student’s first semester, registration may be conducted by WebAdvisor (on-line registration).
