Other general admission information
Immunizations & health requirements
Greenfield Community College, in compliance with the College Immunization Law, Chapter 76 Section 15C of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has adopted the following immunization policy: All full-time students (enrolled in 12 or more credits), and all full-time and part-time health occupations and international students, must provide the Health Services office with documentation of immunity to specified communicable diseases within 30 days of starting classes. Failure to comply with these requirements will jeopardize continued enrollment, receipt of grade reports, transcripts, etc. Medical and religious exemptions are allowed.
For a list of current immunization requirements, or assistance in meeting immunization requirements, contact the Health Services office, room C123, Main Campus, (413) 775-1430.
Drug-free schools & campuses
Greenfield Community College is in compliance with federal legislation, which requires us to adopt and implement a program to prevent the illicit use of drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to Project ADVANCE, (413) 775-1136.
English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
If you demonstrate proficiency in English through your scores on placement assessments, you will not be required to take coursework in English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL). However, if your placement assessment scores indicate a need for further English language study, we require you to enroll in ESOL classes at the appropriate level and limit your enrollment in other classes as well.
New England Regional Student Program
Through the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), Massachusetts participates in the Regional Student Program (RSP), which enables students from one New England state to attend public colleges or universities in another New England state at tuition rates below those normally charged to out-of-state students. Eligible New England students who reside outside of Massachusetts currently pay 150 percent of the tuition charged Massachusetts residents. This is a substantial saving compared to the standard non-resident tuition. To qualify, you must be a resident of one of the five other New England states and be pursuing a degree or certificate program that is not offered at a two-year community college in your home state or is offered at a Massachusetts community college that is closer to your home.
