Paying for College


The balance of tuition, fees, room and board is due in full by the time of registration (either by cash, check, credit card, or verified financial aid). Payment plans are available through the FACTS payment plan. Interest of 1.5% per month applies to unpaid balances.

International students are required to pay for their entire year in advance of their arrival at GBC. The amount due before the student's arrival is determined by estimating class load, room, board, books, fees, and any other known expenses. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Administration.
