The Career Center assists students with their effort to clarify employment goals and to find employment. GCC
has a sincere desire to provide students with productive career campaigns and successful job placements;
however, job placement cannot be guaranteed. The final responsibility for initiating a job search and acquiring
a job remains with the student.
The Career Center, with staff assistance readily available, is a resource that enables students to gain a better
understanding of various careers/occupations. Aptitude, academic, and interest inventory testing can be
arranged by request and need.
Computerized career assessment tools are frequently utilized to assist students in resolving career selection
issues.
INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Academics works in conjunction with the Information Technology department to deliver instructional
technology solutions to help best deliver course content. These solutions include a learning management
software platform along with platform plug-ins, distance learning through web conferencing, cloud hosted
video solutions, classroom technology, and student account and identity management.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Enrollment in Gogebic Community College carries with it obligations of conduct. The responsibility for maintaining good
conduct rests upon each individual student, and it is expected that students will perform in a manner that is a credit to
themselves and to the college. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the rules and regulations of
the college and observing the standards of conduct set by the college.
Whenever a student acts in such a manner that gives college officials reasonable cause to believe that the student
presents a danger to himself, to others, or to college property, or if a student’s activities adversely affect any legitimate
college interest, that student shall be liable to disciplinary action and possible suspension or dismissal from
college.
The college expects that each student will abide by the regulations governing student conduct. General policies and
standards relating to conduct which all students are expected to respect and adhere to are covered in more detail in the
Student Handbook. While the handbook and this catalog state some of the general regulations, such statements cannot
be all inclusive, and individual student conduct violations may need to be determined on a case-by-case basis within the
scope of the conduct policy.
STUDENT GRIEVANCE POLICY
All students at GCC have the right to due process for resolution of complaints and grievances.
A grievance is a written complaint by a student, alleging improper, unfair, arbitrary, or discriminatory action involving
the interpretation, application, or alleged violation of College policies and procedures. A grievance action may be
initiated by a student against another student, an instructor, an administrator, or a member of the classified staff.
It is the policy (Series No. 111) of Gogebic Community College not to discriminate on the basis of disability. Section 504
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Any
person who believes they have been subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability may file a grievance under this
procedure. It is against the law for GCC to retaliate against anyone who files a grievance or cooperates in the
investigation of a grievance.
