The Georgia Student Finance Commision Withdrawal Policy states “A student is no longer eligible to continue to receive dual enrollment program funding after withdrawing from Dual Enrollment course(s) two (2) times.” So it is important that you successfully complete the courses that you are registered to take at the GRCCA. 

ID Badges & Parking Permit: Students may get their Parking Pass and/or ID Tuesday through Thursday during the following times: 8:30-8:45, 10:00-10:15, 11:45-12:00 or 2:50 to 3:10. (We accept cash or check only)

  • Parking Permits: Students who drive will need to purchase a Parking Pass. You request one in our Front Office as you enter the GRCCA Foyer. The cost is $10.

  • ID Badges: Students will be required to wear an ID badge while at the GRCCA. You can request one in our Career Center. There is no cost for an ID Badge.

Dress Code: 

  • Clothing: We continue to address dress code. A few reminders - Hats and hoodies must be removed while in the building and holes in jeans are not allowed.

  • Lanyards: All students must wear a lanyard while on the GRCCA Campus. This helps us insure that each student transitions into and off of our campus in the most efficient way possible and increases the security in our facility.

Again, we are excited about having you at the Griffin Region College & Career Academy. If you have any questions please contact us via "Let's Talk" by clicking the following link, https://t2m.io/GRCCALetsTalk.
