Billing for tuition and fees is coordinated through the College’s Business Office. Electronic payment reminders are periodically emailed to the student’s Great Bay Community College email account.
Payment, or arrangement for payment, must be made by the deadline listed on the Registration Policies and Deadlines form. If payment, or arrangement for payment, is not made by the deadline, students may be administratively withdrawn. Students who register after the deadline have until end of business day to make payment arrangements and will remain responsible for tuition and fees.
Students awaiting scholarships or financial aid awards to cover tuition may request a deferred payment through the Business Office subject to the approval of the President. Students who have already registered should log into SIS to check their accounts and review any applicable financial aid.
Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Visa, MasterCard, check, or cash are accepted as payment.
Payment plans are available through the Student Information System.

Students who officially withdraw from the college or an individual course by the end of the fourteenth (14th) calendar day of the semester will receive a 100% refund of tuition, less nonrefundable fees. Students in classes that meet in a format shorter than the traditional semester (15-16 weeks) will have seven (7) calendar days from the designated start of the class to withdraw for a full refund. If the seventh (7th) or fourteenth (14th) calendar day falls on a weekend or holiday, the drop refund date will be the first business day following the weekend or holiday. Refunds can take two to four weeks to be processed. If the college cancels a class, tuition and Academic Instruction fees will be refunded.
Exception: students in courses that meet for two weeks or fewer must drop by the end of the first day of the class in order to get a 100% refund.

Students registered for non-credit courses, workshops, or seminars must notify the Business & Training Center in writing at least three days prior to the first session and submit a Drop Form to receive a refund minus all fees, if applicable.

You can avoid these fees by paying with cash or check in person at the college. Students who cancel within 3 business days prior to the first session of class will not receive a refund.
