Garrett College will be offering walk-in placement testing, advising and registration beginning August 19th through August 30th in anticipation of the fall semester beginning on September 4th. Walk-in hours for August 19th – August 23rd are 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

All placement testing, advising, and registration will take place at GC’s main campus in McHenry.
Individuals wishing to attend Garrett College this fall are encouraged to attend, including new, returning, homeschool, and transfer students. In addition, non-traditional students looking to start or resume higher education are also welcome.
Prospective students are to check in at the Admissions Office upon arrival.
Individuals are encouraged to complete the following in advance, if possible: apply for admission to the college; complete and submit a FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid); and request to have his or her transcript(s) sent in advance.
Students who have previously attended another college or university must present official transcripts from each institution attended prior to registering for classes. He or she may bring sealed official transcripts that day, or send them ahead of time.
These steps are not required to attend walk-in new student advising, as there is still time to enroll in the upcoming fall semester.
Those who do not need placement testing will meet with an academic advisor right away to discuss education and career goals and register for fall semester classes.
All college services will be open and available to answer any questions on walk-in days, including: admissions, advising, bookstore, business office, financial aid, library, records and registration, and student services (housing, disability services, etc.).
