| Special Services available
at MGCCC
Going to college is like moving into a new neighborhood
-- it takes you a while to become familiar and comfortable with your surroundings.
Gulf Coast puts out the welcome mat for students by providing a variety
of support services. From children's workshops to learning in retirement,
Gulf Coast offers something for all people, of all ages, of all backgrounds.
Just take a look at what we have especially for you.
- Orientation and Pre-registration
Orientation and pre-registration is the best route for students enrolling
for the first time. It's a get-acquainted session before the semester
begins -- a talk and walk-through tour of the college. Pre-registration
lets you get the jump on a new semester and avoid the crowd at regular
registration. Plus, you get first choice of classes at times that best
fit your schedule.
- Counseling
and Advising
During orientation, students meet with counselors and faculty advisers
to discuss program and career choices and to plan class schedules. That
personal one-on-one contact follows students throughout their stay at
Gulf Coast.
- Learning
Resource Centers
Libraries, learning labs and media centers join forces in the Learning
Resource Center at each campus. With automated libraries, books with
bar codes and computer-assisted research, we're opening up a world of
resources and speeding up library work.
- Learning
Labs
Need help to improve your reading skills? Write a research paper? In
the Learning Lab, students can get help in reading, writing, math, science
and other subjects outside of their regular classes. During individual
or group sessions, Learning Lab instructors work with students to build
skills -- and confidence.
- Open Computer Labs
Day and night, Gulf Coast students have access to computers for class
work in the Open Computer Lab. Computer proficiency is a must-have skill
for students and workers everywhere. So, qualified lab assistants are
on hand to help students with hardware and software questions.
- Career Centers
Matching the best career to a particular student and the best applicant
to a particular job are just two of the services available in the college's
career centers. There's also help with career planning, resume' writing
and a statewide network of job listings.
- Career-Technical Support Services
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College believes that all students
deserve a chance to be successful in their fields of study
A Career-Technical Department Support Services Team
at each campus and center can help you succeed in the career or technical
field of your choice. The team members are college faculty who are dedicated
to serving the special needs of students with disabilities; students
who are experiencing academic difficulties; students who have difficulty
with the English language; students who are entering non-traditional
fields; students who are single parents or displaced homemakers; and
students who are economically disadvantaged. If you are interested in
learning more about these special services, please contact the campus
or center nearest you.
