Advising Center

Student Advising Center

Academic advising is a critical and collaborative component of the educational experience. It engages students in educational and career planning that will help them successfully navigate through their collegiate journey.  Advisement is a cooperative effort that requires the guidance of the advisor and the acceptance of the student to achieve a schedule for completion of the education program best suited to the student’s goals.

The mission of the academic advising program at GMC is to intentionally assist students in identifying, understanding and achieving educational, personal and professional goals by following a path of learning and discovery.

Each quarter there will be an opportunity for students to meet with their academic advisor to register for the next academic quarter. Early registration allows the student to pre-plan and develop the best academic schedule that complements their academic and personal needs.

The GMC Advising Center is located at 115 Davis Road, Martinez GA.
