College Check-in

College Check-In

All traditional students are required to attend check-in. This is where you will receive your Pride Card (student ID card) and keys to your residence hall if you’re living on-campus.

All of your required check-in tasks must be completed prior to check-in to ensure a quick process. All tasks that are not completed upon your arrival will be the students responsibility to complete before they can receive their Pride Card and room keys.

Preparing for Check-In

Be sure to complete either the first-year student checklist or transfer student checklist items for a faster check-in process.

Come prepared to PAWS Orientation with any questions you may have. Students and guests will have the opportunity to receive any help they may need with these tasks.

We highly encourage students to work on their check-in tasks throughout the summer and contact corresponding offices directly with any questions. With adequate preparation, students can receive a Pride Pass and move quickly through the process!

“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 complete my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
