GUILFORD TECHNICALCOMMUNITY COLLEGE
2013-2014 CALENDAR
The academic calendars on this page are for planning purposes and are subject to change. Classes will not be held on inclement weather days if the College has not missed instructional days.
Guilford Technical Community College | 1
Congratulations on choosing Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) as the college where you will continue your path to
academic and career success!
Whether your goal is to earn a technical certificate or degree and immediately enter the workplace or earn a two-year degree before
transferring to a four-year university, the faculty and staff of GTCC are here to support you in your journey.
This catalog serves to 1) outline an academic pathway for current and future GTCC students, 2) reaffirm our commitment to your
academic and professional success, and 3) help you make informed decisions about your education and your future.
Since 1958, GTCC has provided accessible, affordable, and quality programs and services to our community. In the words of Dallas
Herring, the founder of the North Carolina Community College System, it is our goal to
“…take the people where they are and carry them as far as they can go…. If they cannot read, then we will simply teach them to
read and make them proud of their achievement. If they did not finish high school but have a mind to do it, then we will offer them
a high school education at a time and in a place convenient to them and at a price within their reach. If their talent is technical or
vocational, then we will simply offer them instruction, whatever the field, however complex or however simple, that will provide
them with the knowledge and the skill they can sell in the marketplaces of our State, and thereby contribute to its scientific and
industrial growth. If their needs are in the great tradition of liberal education, then we will simply provide them the instruction,
extending through two years of standard college work, which will enable them to go to the University or to senior college and on
into life in numbers unheard of before in North Carolina. If their needs are for cultural advancement, intellectual growth or civic
understanding, then we will simply make available to them the wisdom of the ages and the enlightenment of our times and help
them to maturity.”
We are here to nurture your growth and to help you succeed in whatever you want to do. Again, welcome to GTCC!
Randy Parker
President, GTCC

school graduates applying to a limited enrollment program
will be admitted, if qualified and if space is available, based
upon admissions standards, which are available in Enrollment
Services or online at http://www.gtcc.edu/limitedenrollment
Admission to the college does not guarantee acceptance to the
program of your choice or guarantee continued enrollment in
the college.

Guilford Technical Community College | 7
How to Apply
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. For help filling out the FAFSA,
visit Enrollment Services on the second floor of the Medlin
Campus Center on the Jamestown campus, room 125 of the
Continuing Education Center on the Greensboro campus, or the
Counseling Center at the High Point campus.
The FAFSA requires the GTCC school code: 004838
Because financial aid is determined each academic year, you
must fill out a new FAFSA every year.
For scholarships available through GTCC, visit http://www.gtcc.
edu/scholarships. The scholarship website lists the application
deadline and includes a link to the GTCC scholarship application.
Conditions for Awards
The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when
awarding financial aid:
1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The
FAFSA information is used to calculate this number. This
number is used to determine eligibility for most types of
financial aid.
2. The budget of the student while in college
3. Availability of the types of aid
Application Verification
All schools and colleges must verify some of the data on FAFSA
applications. Examples of verification materials required
include tax transcript from the IRS for some FAFSA submitters,
family’s proof of untaxed agency income or benefits (Social
Security, TANF, subsidized housing, etc.).
Financial Aid Disbursement
After the student is awarded financial aid, it is noted on their
account and will be used directly to pay their tuition and fees.
Students may use financial aid in the bookstore during specified
days each semester. Any remaining aid will be disbursed to
the student to be used for college expenses such as room and
board, transportation, supplies, and personal items.
Step #5
Submit Official Transcripts
Enrollment Services
Medlin Campus Center, Second Floor
(336) 334-4822 ext. 50161
http://www.gtcc.edu/records
Email: admissions@gtcc.edu
How to Submit Transcripts
You must submit to GTCC an official high school or GED
transcript, as well as transcripts from all colleges and universities
you have attended. Send transcripts to:
Guilford Technical Community College
Records Department
P.O. Box 309
Jamestown, NC 27282
Recognized Institutions
GTCC recognizes state funded public schools and home schools
registered with the state. If you attended a non-traditional private
school, online high school, or correspondence school, GTCC will
only accept your high school diploma if it is from a regionally
accredited diploma granting high school. We accept high school
diplomas from schools accredited by the Distance Education
Training Council (DETC).
International Students
Students who graduated from international high schools will
need to submit for copy an original diploma or original exit test
scores.
Students will have one semester to show proof of high school
graduation to remain in a degree, diploma or certificate
program.
College Transcripts
If you have taken courses at another college or university, have
all official transcripts sent to Enrollment Services. If you have
a bachelor’s degree, a high school transcript is not required
unless you are applying for a limited enrollment program.
Students must submit any outstanding official college transcripts
within 30 days of the first day of class in fall and spring
semesters, and within 15 days in the summer term. Failure to
submit an official college transcript that validates pre-requisites
will result in the student being administratively withdrawn from
all classes that require proof of those prerequisites, which for
financial aid and veterans benefits recipients, may result in a
debt which must be repaid.

Email: testingcenter@gtcc.edu
To be properly placed into classes, students must take placement
tests in reading, writing, and mathematics. These tests assess
students’ academic readiness and will help them find classes that
fit their present skill levels.
You may not be required to take the placement test if:
• You have transcripted coursework in reading, English, or
math with a grade of C or higher from a regionally accredited
college or university. GTCC must offer a similar course based
on the common course catalog for credit to be awarded.
Students should see an admissions advisor in Enrollment
Services for assistance.
• You have previously taken a placement test and your scores
are less than five years old. GTCC accepts the following
tests for placement: COMPASS, ASSET, Accuplacer, NC
DAP, PLAN, PSAT, ACT, and SAT. Students must have their
scores officially reported by the testing agency or testing
institution, depending on the test, to the GTCC Assessment
Center. Additional score and placement information is
available at http://www.gtcc.edu/path-to-success/placement-requirements.
aspx
• You have achieved proficiency by completing college
proficiency exams. For more information on proficiency
exams, please see page 299 under Academic Information.
Take a Placement Test
If you have not previously completed college level course work
in English or math or completed a placement test, you will need
to visit a GTCC Assessment Center to complete placement tests
prior to registering for classes. To take a placement test, you
must bring with you a photo ID, a blue testing card from an
Admissions advisor or Enrollment Services, and a workshop
certificate if you are re-testing.
Prepare for Placement Tests
Study for placement tests and take them seriously. Your scores
on placement tests impact how long it will take you to finish your
program and earn your degree. A low score on a placement
test can mean up to three extra semesters of college and limit
your course selection. Of the students who took the placement
test, then studied and re-tested, 60% placed at least one level
higher in reading and English, and 30% placed at least one level
higher in math. You can re-test once in a 6-month period if
you have not started a course sequence. Resources to help you
study for the placement test are available at http://www.gtcc.edu/
enrollment-services/assessment.aspx

College Tuition and Fees
After you have registered, you must pay your tuition and fees and
any other financial obligations. You are responsible for buying
books and supplies for your courses.
The amount of tuition is determined by residency and by the number
of credit hours. Some classes require an additional course fee, and
there may be other fees as well. More information about tuition and
fees can be found at http://www.gtcc.edu/cashiersoffice.
Payment Deadlines
Payment for all tuition and fees is due on or before the published
deadlines. Deadlines can be found at http://www.gtcc.edu/
cashiersoffice. Your account balance must be paid by the
deadline or you may lose your classes and owe tuition charges.
Sponsor authorizations must be received before posted student
payment deadlines.
Payment Options
The College offers the following payment options:
Option #1:
Pay all tuition and fees by the payment deadline
Option #2:
Tuition Deferment Program
The Tuition Deferment program is designed to assist students who
do not have or are awaiting financial aid eligibility and need help
with paying their tuition and fee charges. When they sign up for the
tuition deferment program, qualified students can pay 50% of their
tuition and fees charges on or before the payment deadline and pay
for the other 50% approximately one month after classes begin. If
a student does not repay the deferment on the agreed-upon date,
the total deferment plus late fines fees will become due and payable
immediately. Failure to repay the deferment will result in the student
being denied selected student services. For more information about
tuition deferment, visit http://www.gtcc.edu/tuition-deferment.
Option #3:
Financial Aid/Scholarships
If financial aid is not available by the first day of the term or does
not completely cover tuition and fees, select option 1 or 2 in the
preceding text. If a balance remains on a student account past the
due date, the account is subject to late fees and collection costs.
Option #4:
Sponsorships
Arrangements for payment by an agency or company must be pre-approved
by the college. The student is responsible to ensure that
a payment authorization is on file before posted student payment
deadlines. If authorizations are not received and no payments
are made, students’ classes may be dropped for non-payment.
Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid
charges, including late fees and third party service fees.
Option #5:
Tuition Payment Requirements for Veterans
Students who submit a Certificate of Eligibility from the VA to
the school for Post 9/11 Chapter 33 will have their eligibility
percentage of in-state tuition and fees paid to the school by the
VA providing they have remaining entitlement. VA Vocational
Rehabilitation Chapter 31, NC Children’s Scholarship, and Tuition
Assistance students with current approval documents on file
will have their tuition cost paid for by the respective entity
sponsoring the student. All other GI Bill® Chapters and Veterans
Programs are responsible for paying their tuition on the school’s
payment due date.
Payment Types
All payments must be made in U.S. funds. Acceptable payment
types include cash, check, money order, American Express,
Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. To avoid long lines at the
Cashiers Office, students can pay their account balance with a
credit or debit card through WebAdvisor. If paying in person,
you must present two forms of identification, including at least
one unexpired photo ID. Students paying by credit card in
person must present the actual credit card to the cashier. If
paying by check, the account holder’s name, address, and
account number must be pre-printed on the check.

Degree Requirements
GTCC offers a wide variety of planned educational programs, called “curriculum” programs, which range in length from one semester to two
years. These programs lead to certificates, diplomas, or associate’s degrees, depending on the nature of the curriculum. Curriculum programs
include Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts, Associate in Applied Science, Associate in General Education, diploma, and
certificate programs. All curricula are subject to change.
College Transfer
Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts
GTCC offers college transfer through the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree programs.
The Associate in Arts (AA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines or training
at a professional school that requires a strong liberal arts background. The Associate in Science (AS) degree is designed for students who want
to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, the sciences or professional programs that
require strong mathematics and science backgrounds. The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a
four-year degree in areas of study such as art, drama or music.
The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) addresses the transfer of students between institutions in the North Carolina Community
College System and the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the CAA, the
student must graduate from the community college with an Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree or have completed the 44-
hour general education core as defined below and have an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and a grade of “C” or
better in all CAA courses. Because the AFA curriculum standard includes only 28 semester hour credits for general education, AFA students who
transfer must meet the general education requirements of the receiving institution. Information about the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
can be located at http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/Programs/transfer-information.htm
The Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA) between signatory institutions of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and
Universities (NCICU) and the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) is intended to provide smooth transfer for community college
students who wish to continue their education at an NCICU institution which has signed the agreement. Information about the Independent
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement can be located at http://www.ncicu.org/fast_facts.htm
A diploma is available for the completion of the Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) general education core. The core is the first
level of completion that allows students to take advantage of the terms of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement.

Guilford Technical Community College | 1 Congratulations on choosing Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) as the college where you will continue your path to academic and career success! Whether your goal is to earn a technical certificate or degree and immediately enter the workplace or earn a two-year degree before transferring to a four-year university, the faculty and staff of GTCC are here to support you in your journey. This catalog serves to 1) outline an academic pathway for current and future GTCC students, 2) reaffirm our commitment to your academic and professional success, and 3) help you make informed decisions about your education and your future. Since 1958, GTCC has provided accessible, affordable, and quality programs and services to our community. In the words of Dallas Herring, the founder of the North Carolina Community College System, it is our goal to “…take the people where they are and carry them as far as they can go…. If they cannot read, then we will simply teach them to read and make them proud of their achievement. If they did not finish high school but have a mind to do it, then we will offer them a high school education at a time and in a place convenient to them and at a price within their reach. If their talent is technical or vocational, then we will simply offer them instruction, whatever the field, however complex or however simple, that will provide them with the knowledge and the skill they can sell in the marketplaces of our State, and thereby contribute to its scientific and industrial growth. If their needs are in the great tradition of liberal education, then we will simply provide them the instruction, extending through two years of standard college work, which will enable them to go to the University or to senior college and on into life in numbers unheard of before in North Carolina. If their needs are for cultural advancement, intellectual growth or civic understanding, then we will simply make available to them the wisdom of the ages and the enlightenment of our times and help them to maturity.” We are here to nurture your growth and to help you succeed in whatever you want to do.

For help filling out the FAFSA, visit Enrollment Services on the second floor of the Medlin Campus Center on the Jamestown campus, room 125 of the Continuing Education Center on the Greensboro campus, or the Counseling Center at the High Point campus. The FAFSA requires the GTCC school code: 004838 Because financial aid is determined each academic year, you must fill out a new FAFSA every year. For scholarships available through GTCC, visit http://www.gtcc. edu/scholarships. The scholarship website lists the application deadline and includes a link to the GTCC scholarship application. Conditions for Awards The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when awarding financial aid: 1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The FAFSA information is used to calculate this number. This number is used to determine eligibility for most types of financial aid. 2. The budget of the student while in college 3. Availability of the types of aid Application Verification All schools and colleges must verify some of the data on FAFSA applications. Examples of verification materials required include tax transcript from the IRS for some FAFSA submitters, family’s proof of untaxed agency income or benefits (Social Security, TANF, subsidized housing, etc.). Financial Aid Disbursement After the student is awarded financial aid, it is noted on their account and will be used directly to pay their tuition and fees. Students may use financial aid in the bookstore during specified days each semester. Any remaining aid will be disbursed to the student to be used for college expenses such as room and board, transportation, supplies, and personal items. Step #5 Submit Official Transcripts Enrollment Services Medlin Campus Center, Second Floor (336) 334-4822 ext. 50161 http://www.gtcc.edu/records Email: admissions@gtcc.edu How to Submit Transcripts You must submit to GTCC an official high school or GED transcript, as well as transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended. Send transcripts to: Guilford Technical Community College Records Department P.O. Box 309 Jamestown, NC 27282 Recognized Institutions GTCC recognizes state funded public schools and home schools registered with the state. If you attended a non-traditional private school, online high school, or correspondence school, GTCC will only accept your high school diploma if it is from a regionally accredited diploma granting high school. We accept high school diplomas from schools accredited by the Distance Education Training Council (DETC). International Students Students who graduated from international high schools will need to submit for copy an original diploma or original exit test scores. Students will have one semester to show proof of high school graduation to remain in a degree, diploma or certificate program. College Transcripts If you have taken courses at another college or university, have all official transcripts sent to Enrollment Services. If you have a bachelor’s degree, a high school transcript is not required unless you are applying for a limited enrollment program. Students must submit any outstanding official college transcripts within 30 days of the first day of class in fall and spring semesters, and within 15 days in the summer term. Failure to submit an official college transcript that validates pre-requisites will result in the student being administratively withdrawn from all classes that require proof of those prerequisites, which for financial aid and veterans benefits recipients, may result in a debt which must be repaid. 8 | Guilford Technical Community College Step #6 Satisfy Placement Requirements Assessment Center (336) 334-4822 + extension Jamestown: Medlin Campus Center #217, ext. 50262 High Point: H1 #133, ext. 55023 Greensboro: Continuing Education Center #132, ext. 53059 http://www.gtcc.edu/enrollment-services/assessment.aspx Email: testingcenter@gtcc.edu To be properly placed into classes, students must take placement tests in reading, writing, and mathematics. These tests assess students’ academic readiness and will help them find classes that fit their present skill levels. You may not be required to take the placement test if: • You have transcripted coursework in reading, English, or math with a grade of C or higher from a regionally accredited college or university. GTCC must offer a similar course based on the common course catalog for credit to be awarded. Students should see an admissions advisor in Enrollment Services for assistance. • You have previously taken a placement test and your scores are less than five years old. GTCC accepts the following tests for placement: COMPASS, ASSET, Accuplacer, NC DAP, PLAN, PSAT, ACT, and SAT. Students must have their scores officially reported by the testing agency or testing institution, depending on the test, to the GTCC Assessment Center. Additional score and placement information is available at http://www.gtcc.edu/path-to-success/placement-requirements. aspx • You have achieved proficiency by completing college proficiency exams. For more information on proficiency exams, please see page 299 under Academic Information. Take a Placement Test If you have not previously completed college level course work in English or math or completed a placement test, you will need to visit a GTCC Assessment Center to complete placement tests prior to registering for classes. To take a placement test, you must bring with you a photo ID, a blue testing card from an Admissions advisor or Enrollment Services, and a workshop certificate if you are re-testing. Prepare for Placement Tests Study for placement tests and take them seriously. Your scores on placement tests impact how long it will take you to finish your program and earn your degree. A low score on a placement test can mean up to three extra semesters of college and limit your course selection. Of the students who took the placement test, then studied and re-tested, 60% placed at least one level higher in reading and English, and 30% placed at least one level higher in math. You can re-test once in a 6-month period if you have not started a course sequence.

These programs lead to certificates, diplomas, or associate’s degrees, depending on the nature of the curriculum. Curriculum programs include Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts, Associate in Applied Science, Associate in General Education, diploma, and certificate programs. All curricula are subject to change. College Transfer Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts GTCC offers college transfer through the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree programs. The Associate in Arts (AA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines or training at a professional school that requires a strong liberal arts background. The Associate in Science (AS) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, the sciences or professional programs that require strong mathematics and science backgrounds. The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as art, drama or music. The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) addresses the transfer of students between institutions in the North Carolina Community College System and the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the CAA, the student must graduate from the community college with an Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree or have completed the 44- hour general education core as defined below and have an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and a grade of “C” or better in all CAA courses. Because the AFA curriculum standard includes only 28 semester hour credits for general education, AFA students who transfer must meet the general education requirements of the receiving institution.

The Aviation Systems Technology provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to qualify for an aircraft mechanic’s certificate with airframe and/or powerplant ratings. The curriculum is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under 14 CFR Part 147, which governs aviation maintenance schools. Course work includes aviation mathematics, FAA regulations, basic electricity, aircraft drawings; aircraft structures, systems, and components; aircraft engines, theory, systems, and components; and engine inspections and maintenance. Employment opportunities exist as entry-level mechanics with air carriers, manufacturers, repair stations, fixed base operators, flight schools, and government aviation operations. Students who already possess either the Airframe or Powerplant rating, or who have been approved by the FAA for either rating and have a signed FAA Form 8610-2 are not required to enroll in AVI-110, Aviation Maintenance-General. However, presentation of the FAA Mechanic certificate, with one or the other rating, or the signed FAA Form 8610-2 is required prior to registration in the program. As a limited enrollment program and due to the AST program schedule, new classes are formed each Fall semester. This program prepares individuals with the basic knowledge and skills for a career as an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT), generally known as an Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) mechanic. The Aviation Systems Technology (AST) program is designed to prepare students for certification through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Airframe, Powerplant, or both ratings. Program Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the Aviation Systems Technology degree, the student should be able to: • Inspect airframe systems and structures as allowed by the FAA • Repair airframe systems and structures as allowed by the FAA • Service airframe systems and structures as allowed by the FAA • Inspect powerplant systems as allowed by the FAA • Repair powerplant systems as allowed by the FAA • Service powerplant systems as allowed by the FAA • Replace airframe systems components within the limits prescribed by the FAA • Repair airframe systems components within the limits prescribed by the FAA • Repair powerplant components within the prescribed limits of the FAA • Replace powerplant components within the prescribed limits of the FAA • Demonstrate proper documentation of maintenance, servicing, and repair records as required by the FAA • Demonstrate knowledge of the privileges and responsibilities of certificated FAA Aircraft Maintenance Technicians Fall Semester I Credits AVI 110 Aviation Maintenance-General 15 ENG 111 Expository Writing 3 Total 18 Spring Semester I AVI 120 Airframe Maintenance I 12 – – Second English Elective2 3 Total 15 Summer Semester I AVI 130 Airframe Maintenance II 9 – – Math Elective 3 Total 12 Fall Semester II AVI 230 Airframe Maintenance III 7 AVI 240 Powerplant Maintenance I 6 COM 231 Public Speaking 3 Total 16 Spring Semester II AVI 250 Powerplant Maintenance II 15 PSY 150 General P |
