Your Journey Starts Here

Once accepted and confirmed, new students will receive a Gratz College student Gmail address from our IT department. Checking Gratz email regularly will help you stay current with important announcements and updated information on courses, registration, and deadlines. Please use the Gratz email address exclusively for all email communication within the College.

Students can track progress through their program’s requirements and plan ahead using the degree plan provided by their academic advisor. A full list of curriculum requirements is listed under “Program Paths” on each program’s webpage, and course descriptions are available under “View Course Offerings.”

Students register for all courses using our Student Portal. In the portal you will be able to:

• Register for courses
• See your scheduled classes
• View and pay your bill
• View your final grades
• Print an unofficial transcript

For registration assistance, please email registrar@gratz.edu.

Canvas is the learning management system where you take your courses. Once you have registered, it will take a day or two to be able to log into Canvas. Spending some time in the Canvas orientation will help you become familiar with the technology before courses begin. 

All Gratz courses, with the exception of language classes, are asynchronous or “on demand.” You can complete the weekly class lectures, reading assignments, and forum discussion questions at times that are convenient for you!

Canvas also offers a mobile app. Click here for download instructions!

For some courses, reading materials will be provided by the instructor in Canvas. Other courses will have required textbooks you will be expected to purchase or borrow. Please take time to review the Required Texts before each semester and order any required books prior to the start of the term.

All enrolled students have access to the Tuttleman Library. The Library provides print materials, including special collections, vast electronic databases and journals, and interlibrary loans. Print materials can be shipped to students across the U.S. and librarians are available during regular business hours to assist with your research.

Students use their Gratz username and Iibrary password (student ID number) to access library e-resources.
