What is the difference between
an advisor and a counselor?
Advisors
An advisor’s primary job
function is to assist
students with program
road maps, registration,
add/drop and withdrawal.
Also, to work with
students on academic
warning.
Counselors
A counselor’s primary job
function is personal,
academic and career
counseling. Also,
counselors work with
students on academic
probation and suspension.

Greenville Technical College will determine its own schedule with regard to
cancellation of classes, college activities and other events and any delayed
opening during periods of inclement weather. The college will not follow the
schedule of the Greenville County School District but will take the public school
schedule into consideration.
Greenville Technical College will utilize the following with regard to operating
hours:
Option 1: The College is closed. All day and evening classes, activities and
events are cancelled.
Option 2: All day classes, activities and events are cancelled.
Option 3: All evening classes, activities and events are cancelled.
Option 4: Classes are delayed until 10:00 AM – when classes/activities are
delayed, students should report to the class they would normally report to then
in progress at that time. In other words, if a class normally begins at 9:30 AM
and continues until 11:00 AM, students should attend that class beginning at
10:00 AM.
