On Campus at GCC

There will be no registration today at Glendale Community College. The

campus is closed to observe the Labor Day holiday.

FALL SEMESTER BEGINS

The fall semester begins Wednesday. Late registration will also be

taking place. Students can avoid the parking woes at the start of the

semester by using the GCC shuttle service.

The college has a park-and-ride program for the first six weeks of

school. The parking structure is at 701 Brand Blvd. A shuttle leaves the

parking area every half-hour beginning at 7:30 a.m. and arrives at the

college in 20 minutes. The shuttle going from GCC to the parking

structure on Brand leaves every half-hour beginning at 8 a.m. The last

shuttle leaves the campus at 3:30 p.m.

Half-price parking permits are available to students who use the

shuttle for the first six weeks. After six weeks, the shuttle permit is

exchanged for a regular permit. The half-price permits are $22.50 and are

issued by the GCC Police Department. For more information, call 240-1000,

ext. 5925.

Many students will have taken advantage of the online book reservation

service to avoid waiting in long lines at the Bookstore to buy textbooks.

Students who reserved their books online were able to pick them up before

the semester started.
