No. Information sessions take place either at the student's high school, on the GCC campus, or virtually to provide students and families with an overview of the Dual Enrollment Program. Students will have the chance to tour the main campus during their New Student Orientation.
If you want to complete a degree or certificate program at GCC or apply for federal financial assistance, you must have a high school diploma or its equivalent or a GED. You may still be able to take classes at GCC without this credential but you cannot receive financial aid nor can you enroll in a degree or certificate program. Students who do not have a high school diploma because they are still enrolled in high school or home school can apply to GCC as dual enrollment students.
Students of all ages are welcome to take courses at Greenfield Community College. There are a small number of courses with minimum age restrictions. These restrictions are outlined clearly in the course descriptions found in GCC's course catalog.
Dual enrollment students are billed at the same rate as all other students. In addition, dual enrollment students are not eligible for federal financial aid. At times there are funding opportunities for students to apply for - just ask the Office of Admission or your Dual Enrollment Advisor.
GCC wants you to be successful in your academic pursuits. Class selection is determined through a conversation with the student, his or her parent or legal guardian, and the high school guidance counselor or home school official. GCC does require every student to have the prerequisite course work or test scores needed for the individual course he or she wishes to take. These prerequisites are outline in the course descriptions in GCC's course catalog and will be discussed with your Dual Enrollment Advisor.
GCC's dual enrollment program allows motivated high school or home school students to earn college credit before graduating from high school. Interested students should work with the GCC Office of Admission as well as with their high school guidance office or homeschool official to determine if dual enrollment is right for them.

The Greenfield Public Square features all buildings facing the Public Square, plus four buildings one and one-half block south of the Public Square on South 1st Street, and three buildings one block east of the Square on Iowa Street. There are fifty-two resources in this district including thirty-nine contributing, nine non-contributing, and four that were already listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The resources in the district are unified by the fact that each was built around or just off the square in Greenfield, Iowa between 1856 and 1969, and each illustrates the growth and development of the business community during this period. The buildings can be sub-divided into specific types: commercial/retail and public.
Early 20th Century development was a combination of one and two story brick buildings with construction occurring on all sides of the Public Square. The earliest Sanborn map from 1886 shows heavier construction of two story commercial buildings on the east side of the square with smaller single story buildings filling most of the other lots.
Architect Lloyd Willis of Omaha designed the Colonial Revival building which was constructed in 1916. By the mid 1990s, the library collection was outgrowing the building and major repairs were needed, so officials made the decision to move the library to a new facility across the street. The old library sat empty for nearly a decade with a few short term uses in retail. In 2010 the Greenfield Chamber/Main Street organization and Greenfield Municipal Utilities rescued the space and renovated the lower level into offices for the Greenfield Chamber/Main Street.
