Expenses - How to Pay
Tuition and fees may be paid by cash, check, or
credit card (Master Card, Visa or Amex only). Checks or money orders
must be made payable to Germanna Community College or GCC for the exact tuition
and fee amount as shown. If you are unsure of the total, please leave the
tuition amount blank until you complete the registration process. According
to policy, the college cannot accept checks made for amounts greater than
your tuition and fee total. Tuition and fees are not considered paid until
check or credit card payment is honored by the paying agent.
Contract rates are given to businesses that pay taxes in Virginia
and are funding their employee's education. Different rates apply depending
on where the student resides - instate or out of state.
Eligibility for In-State Tuition
Rates
The Registrar is responsible for making determinations of eligibility
for in-state tuition rates based on information provided by the student on
the "Application for Virginia In-State Tuition Rates" included with the College
application materials. Eligibility is determined by using State Council of
Higher Education guidelines pertaining to Section 23.7-4 of the Code of Virginia.
Generally, in order to be eligible for in-state tuition rates,
the student must have been a legal "domicile" of Virginia for a period of
at least one full year prior to the planned term of enrollment at the College.
Domicile is a technical, legal concept which means more than simple residency
in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to be considered a legal resident
of Virginia, a student must demonstrate his/her intention of remaining in
Virginia indefinitely. Demonstration of intent is usually accomplished through
objective evidence such as driver's license, automobile registration, voter
registration, payment of Virginia state income taxes, ownership of real property,
etc. A student under the age of 19 generally assumes the domicile of the parent(s),
unless the student has been legally emancipated. A student over the age of
19 may establish his/her own domicile independent of the parent(s). Additional
information about eligibility may be obtained from the Admissions and Records
Office.
Upon receipt in the Admissions and Records Office, the domicile
application will be reviewed for a determination. If the student has been
determined to be a nonresident for tuition purposes, the student will be notified
of the out-of-state classification. If the student disagrees, the student
may request an immediate appeal, orally or in writing, but it must be done
within 10 working days of being notified of the original decision. The Registrar
will respond to the appeal within 10 working days.
If the student still disagrees, the student may request a final
appeal. This request must be made in writing to the Dean of Student Services
within 10 working days of the second notification of outcome of the first
appeal. The student may expect a response to the final appeal within 10 working
days of submission.
Should the student disagree with the final determination, the
student then has 30 days to take this matter to the appropriate circuit court.
Changing Status : If the student initially
enters the College as an out-of-state student and believes subsequently to
have achieved Virginia domiciliary status, an application for Virginia in-state
tuition rates must be submitted to the Admissions and Records Office. If a
determination is made in the student's favor, the student will become eligible
for in-state tuition rates for the next semester in which the student enrolls.
Special Situations : If the student is a member
of a military family or employed full-time in Virginia but living out of state,
special provisions for determining eligibility for reduced tuition rates exist
under Section 23.7-4, Code of Virginia. A child or spouse of a military person
stationed in Virginia is eligible for in-state tuition regardless of domicile
if: (a) the nonmilitary parent or spouse has resided in Virginia; (b) been
employed full-time; and (c) paid personal income taxes to Virginia for the
year prior to the semester for which in-state tuition is being sought. To
be eligible under this provision through the parent or military spouse, the
student must be claimed as a dependent for Virginia and federal income tax
purposes.
Students who are employees of Virginia-based employers, classified
out-of-state for tuition purposes, are urged to check with the Admissions
and Records Office for exceptions to Section 23.7-4, Code of Virginia, through
the use of special arrangement contracts.
Active duty military personnel, classified out-of-state for
tuition purposes, are eligible for in-state rates if they present a valid
tuition assistance form and provided that the location has entered into a
special arrangement contract.
Waived Tuition
Free tuition to State-supported institutions of higher learning
is granted to eligible children (ages 16-25) of disabled or deceased veterans
of the United States armed forces. Eligibility requires that the disabled
or deceased veteran must have been a resident of Virginia at the time of entry
into the armed forces or is and has been a citizen of Virginia for at least
10 years immediately prior to the student's application for admission; or,
in the case of a deceased parent, the parent must have been a resident of
Virginia at the date of his or her death and for at least 10 years prior to
his or her death.
Provisions are explained in full in Section 23-7.1 of the Code
of Virginia.
Senior Citizens
Senior citizens may apply for free tuition and fees provided
for by the Senior Citizens Higher Education Act of 1974. Students at least
60 years of age who have been domiciled in Virginia for one year are eligible
to audit up to three courses per semester free. Additionally, if their federally
taxable income did not exceed $15,000 for the year preceding enrollment, they
may take courses for credit without cost on a space-available basis. Consult
the Admissions and Records Office for details and assistance. Policy limits
tuition-free enrollment to a maximum of 49% of any credit class.
Refund Policy
A student shall be eligible for a refund for those credit hours
dropped during the refund period only.
Regular Semester : full refund during the
first 14 calendar days of the semester for credits dropped.
Special sessions : full refund during the period that represents
15% of the session for credits dropped.
Canceled courses : full refund for courses canceled by
the College.
The student activity fee will be refunded if a student withdraws
from all courses in which he or she was enrolled and the all-course drop is
done during the refund period. No refund of the activity fee will be made
after the refund period.
Note : Tuition and refund policies are found in the Catalog and Student Handbook. Eligibility for a refund requires
the completion a form which can be located in the Admissions & Records Office.
Public Law 102-325, enacted July 1992, mandates an interim refund
procedure. Under this procedure, eligible Title IV recipients who completely
withdraw for the term of enrollment may have refunds credited to accounts
with outstanding balances. Detailed information on these refunds is available
from the Financial Aid Office.
A refund will be given for the difference between the student's
tuition charges and the number of credit hours for which the student remains
enrolled. Refunds will be at the per-credit-hour rate, but no refund will
exceed the student's tuition charges.
Please note : The refund form must
be received by the Admissions and Records Office by the date listed for each
term as "Last Day for Refund." Drops may be done in person, Mondays and Thursdays,
8:30 a.m.- 7:00 p.m., and Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00
p.m., or placed in the drop box located across from the Counseling Office
at the Locust Grove Campus.
If a student is eligible for a refund and has an outstanding
debt to another State agency, the Commonwealth Treasurer's office may apply
the refund to the outstanding debt. If there is no other outstanding debt,
the refund check will be mailed from the Commonwealth Treasurer's office to
the address on the student's record.
How to Receive a Refund : If the student does
not plan to attend any course(s) and wishes to receive a refund, the student
must complete and submit a drop/add form to the Admissions and Records Office
on or before the published "last day for refund." Drop/add forms are available
in the Admissions and Records Office. After the refund period, there will
be no refund. All requests for exceptions to the policy should be addressed
to the
Dean of Student Services .
If the student is still attending school, a refund is processed
after the "last day for refunds," as published in the schedule, for dropped
courses. Checks are mailed to the student from the Commonwealth Treasurer's
office.
If a refund is to be credited against a credit card, the student
must present to the Cashier the credit card that the tuition was charged against.and a copy of the
charge slip for which tuition was paid.
