5 Myths About Community Colleges
Myth #2 : "College Can't Fit Into My Busy Schedule"
Time's On Your Side at GRC
Online and Hybrid Classes:
- There are more online or hybrid classes available at GRC than ever before.
- Online classes offer the flexibility to learn from home or any location. Engage with course materials, participate in discussions, and complete assignments entirely online.
- Hybrid classes blend online learning with in-person sessions, providing a mix of remote flexibility and face-to-face interaction for a full educational experience.
Night Classes:
And of course, night classes are an amazing tool when you work during the day. Between
these and in-person classes, there’s a lot of flexibility to work with all the other
time commitments in your life.
College credit programs for high schoolers can save you months or even years. You can even get an AA degree and your HS diploma simultaneously with Running Start!
Prior or Transfer Credits: Green River College will usually accept credits from other institutions offering the same, or similar courses. Each institution has its own policy and transferability should never be assumed. The Career and Advising staff is available to answer most questions involving transfer of credits and can provide transfer guides for most four-year colleges and universities in Washington State.

Real talk: many successful graduates earn their degrees over more time than the suggested two or four years. Every life is different and yours has as much time for college as your situation allows.
It’s important to know that some types of financial aid, like loans, require a certain
number of credits to qualify. And attending less than half-time will lower the cost
of attending college, reducing the financial aid available. The key is to understand
how slowing down affects aid and to keep making progress. But there is a great deal
of flexibility to proceed at your pace.
THE GREEN RIVER COLLEGE PROMISE:
We commit to be an anti-racist institution where all students, faculty, and staff receive the access, resources, and services needed to achieve their educational, career, and personal goals. Green River College makes social and economic justice, equity, and inclusion our highest priorities.
The Green River College definition of equity encompasses all identities, including
but not limited to race, ethnicity, economic status, gender identity, sexual identity,
disability, religion/spirituality, immigration status, age, and culture. We understand
individual needs vary widely, and the effects of discrimination and historical oppression
must be taken into account while aiming for equitable opportunities and outcomes for
all.
Let this be a call to action to all members of the Green River College Community: everyone must contribute to this on-going effort to achieve equity for all.
