Student Experience
Enriching your extracurricular experiences with technology
Whether you will be a full-or part-time student at GCC the school’s social, extracurricular, and career services activities will be an important part of your educational experience. Find out about the technology tools that facilitate the different communities on our campus, allowing for communication, personal development, and getting together in person and virtually.
ACCESSING COMPUTER SERVICES
Students have access to open labs during the day, evening, and weekend hours to ensure that students have time to use computers. Upon logon each student is granted access to the data, software, and resources needed to meet their coursework requirements.
Free wireless connectivity is available to all students with limited access for guests. Visit eGCC Wireless to learn more.
MCCCD provides each student with an official email account.
This is a specific gmail account and is the official medium of
communication for the college and district. Official communication is
also sent to the student’s individual student center on My.Maricopa.edu. Students are responsible for communication sent to their
official gmail account and their student center.
MCCCD provides each student with Google Apps@Maricopa.
Google Apps is a set of communication tools and storage space
that includes the ability to create a personal website. In addition,
GCC also provides each student with disk space for personal web
space and file storage.
GCC’s student ID card allows students to access their account information, check out library books, and Pay for Print. GCC does not have a "one card" system in place.
