Registry

Student Identity Record

1. Upon enrolment, a student identity card will be issued to him/her. The card is a student’s personal identification document at the College and he/she should carry his/her student identity card at all times while in the College premises.
2. The student identity card is the property of GCC and is not transferable. A student is advised to take good care of his/her student identity card. It should not be used by anybody else. Misuse or falsification of the card constitutes a major offence, and any student who commits this offence will be subject to disciplinary action.
3. In case a student’s identity card is lost or damaged, he/she should submit an application for a replacement.

Change of Personal Data

It is necessary for students to notify the Registry as soon as there are changes in their personal particulars. Otherwise, the student record will not be updated and correspondence may be misdirected.
