Frequently Asked Questions
Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions below and information related to Mini-Mester C orientation and registration.
There are NO on-campus orientation sessions for Mini-Mester C spring 2021. All Mini-Mester C orientation sessions will be held live and will use WebEx to facilitate the session.
WebEx is an online meeting tool used at Gwinnett Tech to facilitate online events, like orientation. It is free to use for all students.
Review the online help materials. You can also search for instructions to troubleshoot your particular issue.
WebEx is available on PC and Mac computers, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices. If you do not have a stable internet connection at home, please contact studentsuccess@gwinnetttech.edu to discuss options for you to access Mini-Mester C orientation.
You should plan to open WebEx and get logged into the session at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the event. DO NOT wait until the last minute to attempt to connect to the meeting. Make sure to review instructions and connection troubleshooting with WebEx prior to the date of your orientation.

No. Students must attend the on-campus Mini-Mester C orientation and registration session in order to receive access to register for Mini-Mester C classes. Students who either miss attending the sessions, arrive too late for sign-in, or have schedule conflicts will not be eligible to receive registration access for Mini-Mester C classes.

Yes. Registration access is only given to students who attend the Mini-Mester C orientation sessions for that specific Mini-Mester C registration period.
