Some key steps will be: making sure you get your Digital Student ID, registering for your courses, planning your academic accommodation (if needed), getting your finances in order, connecting with GBC supports and much more before the semester even starts!

Online Orientation
New students to the college can get a jump start on their college journey with GBC's Online Orientation! This site will help you carry out practical and administrative tasks like getting your digital Student ID, planning your academic accommodations (if needed), getting the steps to access equipment loans and much more before the semester even starts!
We have broken down Online Orientation into 6 different modules and a Resource Hub. You can do them one at a time, at your own pace, leading up to the beginning of the semester, and it's available to all new students for the duration of their entire first term.
Simply log into BlackBoard with your student number and password and select ‘Communities’ from the left-hand navigation of your dashboard and click on ‘Online Orientation’ to get started!
