College Tuition and Fees After you have registered, you must pay your tuition and fees and any other financial obligations. You are also responsible for buying books and supplies for your courses. The amount of tuition is determined by residency and by the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolled. Some classes require an additional course fee, and there may be other fees as well. More information about tuition and fees can be found at http://supportservices.gtcc.edu/tuition-rates-fees/. Sponsorship Arrangements for payment by an agency or company must be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible to ensure that a payment authorization is on file before posted student payment deadlines. If authorizations are not received and no payments are made, students’ classes may be dropped for non-payment. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third party service fees.
