Student Orientation FAQ

What happens after a student completes orientation?

After completing Online Orientation, new students will be prompted to schedule a planning and advising session. At this session, you will meet with an advisor and/or program faculty to discuss a plan for your academic goals and register for classes.

You will also be given a checklist of items to prepare for the start of the term, including completing the FAFSA and financial aid process.

How do I access the Online Orientation?

Once you have been accepted to the college, you will see a notification on GTC4me alerting you to complete Online Orientation. The link within that notification will take you to the orientation.

If you have already completed the orientation but want to refer back to the information, you’ll find a link on GTC4me under the Quick Links section.

When should I complete Online Orientation?

Upon acceptance to the college, you have access to complete your Online Orientation. Log in to GTC4me where you will find a link to orientation under Notifications.

How long does Online Orientation take to complete?

Orientation is self-paced, so the length of time required to complete will vary from one person to another. If you find that you need to stop and return to orientation later to finish, your progress to that point will be saved and you can pick up where you left off.

Who is expected to participate in Online Orientation?

All students accepted into curriculum programs will be required to complete Online Orientation prior to enrolling in classes.

An accepted student is defined as someone who is required to submit an application for admission, even if he or she attended Greenville Technical College previously.

The only exception for completing orientation is high school students taking classes (Early College or charter high schools).

Does it matter which browser I use for Online Orientation?

Yes, the Online Orientation is not compatible with the Safari browser. Please use either Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
