All courses listed in the catalog will not be offered every semester. The college always reserves the right to cancel course offerings for budgetary reasons or because of lack of enrollment. Students will be notified if a course selected is canceled. The college offers credit and credit-free instruction during its winter intersession, which runs from late December through early January, and during summer sessions. The exact dates of the winter intersession and summer sessions may be found in the appropriate course schedules which are mailed to residents of the regional area and are also distributed through the Records Office and the Office of Community Services at Long Wharf.
Schedules are also available at the North Haven campus.
Credit-free courses are open to all Gateway Community College students, high school seniors, students from other colleges and any interested adults. The board of trustees has established guidelines for the exchange of students among institutions in the state system of higher education. This provides an opportunity for students enrolled in community colleges to benefit significantly by taking a course or courses not available at Gateway Community College but offered at another state institution. Each semester those students with 6 credits or more and a GPA between 3.5 - 3.69 will be placed on the Dean's List. For those students with 6 credits or more with 3.7 - 4.0 will be placed on the President's list.
