GCC Athletics
GCC is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association. The athletic program provides intercollegiate competition for students in a variety of women's and men's sports. The college competes with other two-year colleges in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as with various four-year colleges and universities.
An athlete is allowed two years of competition in a community college. If graduated at the end of two years, an athlete may transfer to most colleges and universities and be eligible immediately. Competition in a community college does not jeopardize future eligibility in a four year college or university. Students who wish to compete in intercollegiate athletics should contact the Athletic Director or the coach for the specific sport of interest.
