STEP 2: Start your Gordon Orientation with GC101

GC101 is an online program available to all first-year students starting June 1. GC101 serves as a precursor to our on-campus orientation and will provide you with information that will be helpful for your transition.  You will also be asked to choose your major, tell us your course preferences and complete a few other tasks over the summer.

You should have received both a residence hall and a medical questionnaire in the mail. Please complete them and return them to the Admissions office. If you misplaced this information, you can download those forms here:

Supplemental Housing Questionnaire: After you've returned your Residence Hall Questionnaire, fill out this supplemental form to give us additional info on your preferences.
