Special Fees

Certain courses, classes or programs have various additional laboratories, class material and/or equipment that require additional course fees. Additional course fees are attached to the course on the website.

Tuition and Fee Payments

All tuition and fees must be paid in full or students must be signed up and current on a payment plan through myGCCC before any future enrollment can be processed.  As soon as a student enrolls in classes, they can view their student account through myGCCC, and payment plans are available. The earlier the student enrolls in a payment plan the more payment plan options they will have access to. Students can always make payments directly to the business office during regular office hours by calling 620-276-9576, or 620-276-9619.

Tuition And Fees Refund Policy

Payment Of Obligations

Students are expected to make prompt payment of all college financial
obligations, such as tuition, fees, housing, food, special fees, etc. Payments can be made electronically through a student’s self-service portal, or by making payments directly to the Business Office or over the phone by calling 620-276-9619 or 620-276-9576. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX, cash, checks, and money orders are accepted payment methods.

  • All existing financial obligations must be paid in full, or on a payment plan with no
    default, before enrollment will be allowed for the subsequent semester or summer session. Exceptions may be considered by submitting an application for an exception to the payment obligation policy to the Vice President of Administrative Services/CFO.
  • With the exception of students receiving Title IV/Federal Financial Aid, if a student leaves the college with unpaid accounts, the student’s academic record will be placed on hold, and no academic transcripts will be issued until the account is cleared.
  • All graduating students must clear all outstanding accounts before any documentation of earned degree(s) will be issued.
  • To avoid registration delays a student relying on financial aid to pay college costs is responsible for contacting the Financial Aid Office and having all necessary forms and documentation completed before registration.

Residence Hall Costs

The Residence Hall Contact is a room and board contract. The cost includes actual room rent and food service for 19 meals per week. This amount is subject to change. Students interested in living in the Residence halls should apply online through the StarRez portal found under a student's OneLogin. Contact the Residential Life Office at (620)276-9516 or reslife@gcccks.edu.

Textbook Costs

Textbooks are part of student fees that each student pays on a per-credit-hour basis. The college has partnered with Cengage Learning, and most courses have adopted textbooks that will be used as an e-textbook online. E-textbooks are accessed through the student’s Canvas course link. Students who prefer not to use the e-textbooks can contact Cengage directly at cengage.com, and for an additional cost, Cengage will order and ship the non-e-textbook directly to the student. Students who are taking classes that do not use Cengage will still need to purchase their textbooks from the Broncbuster Bookstore.

Transcript Fees

Students will be charged $7 for each official transcript requested or $7 for each faxed transcript. Transcripts will not be issued until payment is received. Transcripts will be sent by Federal Express only if an authorized account is provided, or if payment is made in advance to cover each transcript fee and actual express costs.

Returned Payment Policy

If a payment made payable to Garden City Community College is returned for any reason, the student will be charged a returned payment fee for each returned payment check. With the exception for students who receive federal aid, the student's records will be placed on hold until the financial obligations are paid.
