We, as member of the Greensboro College community, are here to assist our students, faculty, staff and other constituents, with matters concerning academic policy, their academic record, registration, transcripts, enrollment or degree verification, and other such matters.
Our No. 1 priority is to ensure the integrity, accuracy and security of Greensboro College’s academic records. Stop by our office, 205 Main, if we may assist you.
A course title followed by “(H)” indicates that that course is a “humanities course”.
Class sections of “HY” indicate that the class is a “hybrid” — this means that some of the work will be completed in class while other work will be completed online.
Class sections of “OL” indicate that the class is exclusively online and there will be no on-campus meetings.
“RC” designates courses taught at Rockingham Community College.
Courses with a department of “XBP” are exclusively for student in the BBA program.
Courses with a department of “PAL” are exclusively for students who have been admitted to the PAL program.
6000 level classes are open only to students admitted to a graduate (MA or MEd) degree seeking program.
An exclamation mark in a red circle to the left of a course on the schedule indicates that that course section is full. You may speak with the faculty member to see if they can allow you to add the class; in some instances this is not possible due to seating capacity and/or equipment needed for participants.
While many majors require internship experiences, students may not register themselves for internships. To be registered for an internship you must meet with your advisor, complete an internship contract, acquire the necessary signatures, and submit the contract to the registrar’s office. The registrar’s staff will register you for your internship.
Remember, to be full-time, undergraduate students must be registered for a minimum of 12 hours.
Greensboro College is subject to the provisions of federal law known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (also referred to as the Buckley Amendment or FERPA). This act affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. The law can be found at http: //www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
The right to inspect and review your education records within 45 days after the day the Greensboro College registrar’s office receives a request for access. Your request must be a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The registrar will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records requested are not maintained by the registrar’s office, the registrar will notify you of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
You have the right to request the amendment of your education records that you believe is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your privacy rights under FERPA.
If you wish to ask Greensboro College to amend a record, put this request in writing to the registrar or to the official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record you want changed, and specify why it should be changed.
If the college decides not to amend the record as requested, we will notify you in writing of the decision and your rights to a hearing re­garding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided when you are notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to provide written consent before the college discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
Although release of public directory information is permissible under FERPA, Greensboro College opts to withhold this disclosure to the public. Information that will be releases is as follows: student names, home town, majors, class (e.g., sophomore or “Class of 2017”), degrees being sought, honors earned, and participation in campus events. For athletes, height/weight may also be released.
Greensboro College students have a right to designate their information as private and to require Greensboro College not to make such releases. Students may make this request, in writing, through the registrar’s office.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this matter, please direct them to registrar@greensboro.edu.
We wish you the best of luck in your academic endeavors at Greensboro College. Feel free to stop by our office, 205 Main, if we may be of assistance.
