As we prepare to welcome students back for the start of the fall semester, please review this important construction and traffic update impacting travel to GRCC’s main campus: The intersections of Lyon Street & Division Avenue and Division & Crescent are completely closed. Lyon is now two-way between Ransom Avenue and the Division closure. The intersection at Bostwick Avenue and Lyon is now a stop from all directions. Ransom between Lyon and Fountain Street has undergone lane modifications. All ramp entrances and exits remain open. What this means for you: Expect heavy traffic congestion around campus due to construction. Allow extra time to arrive and park. Consider alternate routes and parking options to avoid delays. Review the campus map and parking info on our  Parking & Transportation webpage. Thanks for planning ahead as we begin a new academic year. We’re excited to welcome students back and appreciate your patience!  

We’re highlighting the incredible people who make GRCC a great place to work — and we want to feature YOU! Whether you've been here for 20 years or just joined the team, we’d love to hear what you enjoy about your job and what makes GRCC special! Fill out the quick survey!

It's almost  National Payroll Week  which falls around Labor Day in the US every year. As we prepare for the long holiday weekend, don't let timesheet due dates sneak up on you for the 9/12/25 pay date (for the pay period of 8/18-8/31/25). Because of the Labor Day holiday on Monday, 9/1/25, timesheets will be due one day later than normal. The extended due date is noon on Tuesday, 9/2/25. If you're taking time off, please take steps to ensure that the most accurate version of your timesheet is submitted on or before Tuesday, 9/2/25. And, supervisors, please ensure you have a backup approver if you're away to review and approve timesheets by the extended deadline of noon on Wednesday, 9/3/25 (also one day later, as approvals are usually due by the Tuesday following a pay date). More information on setting up a backup approver can be found on HR’s  Employee Forms webpage. As always, please reach out to us with questions at  hrpayroll@grcc.edu .
