New applicants and current students at Georgia Perimeter College can now use a new system to upload documents on both their computers and smart phones. The upload system, at http://admissions.gpc.edu/upload, has been added to the site, www.gpc.edu/mystatus .

“Once a student has logged on with their GPC ID, last name and birthdate, a student will be able to 1) select the type of document they are uploading, 2) select a file to transmit or snap a picture of it using a smartphone, 3) upload that document to GPC immediately and 4) immediately see and track the status of that document as it works its way to the admissions checklist,” says Richard Beaubien, GPC’s director of information technology communications.

“This will allow for faster processing for most admissions documents, as long as we receive legible copies,” says Beaubien. The site is not for sending original documents, such as birth certificates, test scores, high school or college documents.

• Change of major forms

• Dual Enrollment Parental Consent Forms
• Georgia Driver’s License/ID card
