I've never taken an online class and I need some tutoring for Canvas.
Tutorial for Canvas is available with other helpful links on the Student Resources Center website. You may apply for Pass/No Pass if you don’t need a letter grade. Please check with a counselor to see if it will
affect your major and transferability.
I need a tutor.
Online tutoring is available at Grossmont College. For free and virtual.
How do I speak with a counselor about my academic plan? Do you have a live chat?
Counselors will be having sessions online through E-SARS as well as Zoom.
I heard Spring 2021 semester classes will be offered online as well due to Coronavirus
pandemic. Is that true?
For Spring 2021, most of courses will be offered online except for a several Allied Health lab courses (Nursing, Cardiovascular etc.) which
will be on campus.
If you were an on campus student during the Spring 2020 semester, you must be in at
least 12 units, but they can be 100% online. If you started Grossmont College during
the Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 semester, you may be able to take less than 12 units
if you have not entered the United States and have contacted International Admissions
at grossmont.international@gcccd.edu. If you are currently in the United States, you need to maintain at least 12 degree
applicable or transferrable units to remain in good standing.
I am struggling with online classes. As Spring 2021 will be online instruction again,
I want to take a leave of absence until the classes will be offered on-campus. What
is the process for the request?
