Dual Enrollment
Early College
Guest Student
Home School Students
High school students who can demonstrate academic readiness for college
level courses through college approved measurement instruments may be
admitted to Gogebic Community College courses. This demonstration
includes scoring into college level course work on one of the following state
approved placement tests: EXPLORE, PLAN, ACT, Accuplacer, MME, PSAT, or
SAT with the appropriate qualifying scores. All dual enrolled students must
also have written approval from their high school prior to registering for
college courses.
This is a five-year high school program designed to allow high school
students to earn a high school diploma and an associate degree or
substantial college credit through an additional fifth year of study, provided
that they meet the minimum requirements in English and Math based on
their program of study.
Guest applicants (students who are enrolled primarily at another college or a
university and wish to take a limited number of courses at GCC) must submit
a guest application form supplied by the Registrar’s Office of the college they
are attending. A guest application is valid for one semester only. Students
must provide prerequisite documentation of prior coursework, if necessary.
Please schedule a conference with the Admissions Director/Vice President of
Student Services.

Gogebic County at least (4) consecutive months immediately prior to the first day of the semester without
