Student Services

At GSC, we're committed to assisting students on their path to a new career in health care. The College provides a wide variety of support services including admissions counseling, tutoring, advising, personal counseling, and student health, as well as activities that promote personal and professional growth.

A brief listing of some of the services available to students is here.

Student Success Program

The mission of the Student Success Program is to assist students in the development of an academic plan that will maximize their potential for success through the use of specialized resources. Academic assistance and counseling resources, as well as data from assessment testing, are utilized by the Student Success Program staff to provide individualized services for each student.

Assessment Testing

Assessment testing is conducted prior to entrance into the college. ACT's diagnostic COMPASS, which measures knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and mathematics are administered. Critical Thinking skills are assessed with the administration of the Entrance Critical Thinking test from the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI).

Academic Assistance

Academic Assistance is available through an individualized learning program, offering one-to-one instruction with a Learning Specialist. Time management, note-taking, study skills, and test-taking techniques are some of the skills addressed. The Learning Specialist is also a resource for referral for comprehensive evaluation of special learning needs.

Counseling

One goal of GSC is to help students develop their potential as self-reliant individuals. A full-time counselor is available for personal counseling and as a resource for referral services in the community.
