The registration system at GTCC is not yet equipped to check class prerequisites when a student registers. The faculty and staff believe that the secret to their registration's success is bringing in 10-month faculty members who are trained in the college's advisement system. The key is the crash course they are required to complete before they assist the first student. The college's team approach works successfully for the duration of registration. However, desktop computers in faculty offices make the process simpler.
Students are able to visit with advisors and register from their offices.
CPCC offers a third short session, beginning at the end of spring semester and ending before the first of the fiscal year. Students who have already paid in full for spring semester may register for this class while they are registering for spring semester. This session offers them a chance to gain additional credit for no additional fees and frees up staff from an additional stint at registration. The same computer system used in faculty offices, telephone registration, and open registration is programmed to check prerequisites for classes and alert staff if students' schedules do not reflect their placement scores or grades. The computer system is equipped to place them into appropriate classes.
