Prerequisite Clearance
If your course requires a prerequisite clearance, complete this form and a counselor will review your clearance status and reach out to you directly.

Step 4: Register for Classes

Visit MyGCC and register for the course you would like to take. If it is your first time logging into the student portal, you can use the log-in information below:

• MyGCC username: your 8-digit GCC student ID number

Step 5: Activate Student Email & Canvas

Activate Student Email
Log into MyGCC by using your ID number and birthday in 6 digits (example: January, 9, 2001 would be 010901). Once you are logged in, you can follow the steps here to activate your GCC email.

Activate your Canvas Account
Log into www.glendale.edu/canvas. Canvas contains information about class meeting times, zoom links and assignments. Canvas is your virtual classroom!

Step 6: Attend Class

Verify your class modality or location:

• In-person: Class meets in person on a set schedule at GCC or a high school site.
• Remote: Class meets live on a set schedule via Zoom or another virtual platform.
• Online: Class is fully online with no set meeting times. Assignments have deadlines set by the instructor and may be due throughout the week.
