Come for a Visit!

Campus Tours and Information Sessions

Tours of the GCC campus are accompanied by an information session with an admissions counselor. The information session will highlight GCC’s programs and services, details about the enrollment process, and provide time to answer your questions.

The tour is a walking tour which lasts approximately 60 minutes. We encourage you to dress comfortably and wear walking shoes. Your tour guide will be a current student at GCC and work study in our Student Success Center. You are welcome to bring as many family members as you would like on the tour.

For those interested in living on campus we also offer an optional tour of College Village, our on campus housing.

Campus Tour/Self-Guided Tour

Can’t find an event that fits into your busy schedule? Not a problem. To arrange a visit call the Admissions Office toll free at 585-345-6800 or register online through our Campus Tour Registration. GCC also offers a unique opportunity to view campus at your own pace and on your own schedule with our self-guided tours. Stop into the admissions office to ask for one of our over 50 smart tablets.
