Grand Rapids Community College provides a great opportunity for students at four-year colleges and universities to take classes as a guest student. Students can take advantage of more affordable tuition, smaller class sizes, and outstanding faculty members. GRCC provides classes in-person and online, with the ability to schedule around home and work responsibilities.
GRCC is part of the Michigan Transfer Agreement with public and private schools across the state, allowing most credits to transfer easily. Students should first check with their home institution’s course equivalency guide to ensure that GRCC courses will transfer back.
Eligible students can use their Grand Rapids Promise Zone scholarship, which covers tuition and other expenses, as a guest student at GRCC. A new application is required for each semester you plan to attend GRCC.
