If you prefer, you may send a check, money order, or pay by credit card.

5. Register for PAWS Orientation

Offered three times during the summer, PAWS is an orientation program for incoming students and their families. This is an excellent opportunity for you to meet faculty, staff, and new friends. You’ll also benefit from advising and finalizing your course schedule for the upcoming fall semester. You will meet other incoming first-year students and Pride Leaders (current students who will show you the ropes), and you will gain an overall feeling of comfort and confidence upon arriving for the fall semester. Dates this summer are: Friday, June 23, or Friday, July 14, or Friday, July 28. Additional information and PAWS registration

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
