I plan to start my studies online...

  1. Your first steps to officially reserve your spot as a student are to return your completed Notification of Intent form through VidCruiter and pay the $100 Matriculation deposit. The links to complete these steps have been sent to you via email (you will need your student ID, which was included in your acceptance email).
  2. After submission of your NOI form & Matriculation deposit, you should receive an automated email with your student account information and log-in within 24-48 hours. If for any reason you do not receive this, please reach out to [email protected].
  3. Before you register for classes, visit the Registration Hub to view your Degree Checklist (listing all required courses by degree), upcoming Course Schedule, Academic Calendar with important dates & much more. You can also schedule a meeting with one of our Academic Advisors (just email [email protected] to request), if you find you might need some direction on which courses to take.
  4. You are now ready to register for classes through our CAMS server (for a tutorial on CAMS or for more information on registration, click here).
  5. Once you’ve registered for courses, the library website is a great resource for e-books, journal articles, and more.
  6. You will also want to check out Canvas using your log in, where professors will include a lot of the information you need for your coursework (syllabus, assignments, grades, class discussions, etc.).
  7. It’ll also be super important to stay up to date on the latest Gordon-Conwell news and updates, checking your GCTS webmail regularly.
  8. Disability Support Services are available through our Student Life Offices. Please find more information here.
  9. If you haven’t yet done so, please explore steps for applying for Financial aid, including completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) & applying for Financial Aid with Gordon-Conwell (which are required for obtaining loans & grants for your time at Gordon-Conwell).
  10. Interested in scholarships and other available opportunities on campus? Check out a list of Scholarships & Grants available through Gordon-Conwell (prior to the application deadlines), and Partnership Program information (prior to the application deadlines).
  11.  Need more information on our Gordon-Conwell platforms, and which platforms are utilized for which activities? Check out our Student Platform page, where you will find out where to register for courses, find your syllabi, check your email, and much more!
