Besides Guilford, the Greater Greensboro Consortium includes Bennett College, Elon College, Greensboro College, Guilford Technical Community College, High Point University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. All of the institutions participate in the cross-registration program. The Piedmont Independent College Association. Admission to the six-level program is open to persons who have completed secondary school in good standing and are able to meet educational and living expenses. Terms last eight weeks.
Classes are small, so progress is usually rapid.
Some live with community host families. All students use Guilford College facilities. Courses are open to all visiting students. Present Guilford students may take courses in the summer to accelerate completion of their degree program, to fulfill general college and major requirements, or to explore new areas of interest. Summer School is considered to be a third term, and the same academic standards apply to Summer School that exist during the regular academic year.
