Military/Veterans

At GCC we strive to do our best to ensure educational success for some of the nation’s best and brightest students – our service members and veterans.

With a dedicated veteran services coordinator (who is a veteran), a Student Veterans Lounge and other military-affiliated students attending GCC, service members and veterans here are never far from their peers.

Here's what you need to know to make the admissions process as smooth as possible:

2. Request that your military transcript (https://jst.doded.mil) and official transcripts from EACH educational institution you've attended be sent to the GCC Admissions & Registration Department.
