To be eligible for federal or state aid, students must be enrolled in an eligible program of study and have an approved educational objective. Not all programs at GCC are eligible for Financial Aid. The Educational Goal form To-Do List Item was assigned to you because your current educational goal on record is not an eligible degree, certificate, or transfer program. If your educational goal has changed or needs to be updated, please work with an Academic Advisor to complete an Educational Goal (Ed Goal) Form through StudentForms.

 

How to Complete Your Form

Use the Student Forms Login link in the Quick Links box on the right side of this page to access Student Forms.

  • Log in using only your student ID number. Do not include "GCCS\" before your student ID number (example: use username, not GCCS\username).
  • If you are having issues logging into the GCC Portal, please contact the Help Desk at 818-240-1000 x4357 for assistance.
