Tuition
The North Carolina General Assembly sets tuition rates, which are subject to change without notice, for in-state and out-of-state students. Fees are established by the North Carolina General Assembly, the State Board of Community Colleges, and/or the GTCC Board of Trustees. Fees are also subject to change.
Types of Fees

Student Account Statements
Account information is available on WebAdvisor under Financial Profile.
Tuition Payment Plans
Tuition payment plans are offered to students enrolled in 6 or more credit hours, have no outstanding balances with the college, and have never been late on a previous payment plan. A down payment of 50% of the account balance is due on or before posted payment deadlines. The remaining 50% is due approximately 30 days after the start of the semester. Payment plans are completed in person at the Jamestown Cashier’s Office.
Past Due Account
Business Office holds are placed on student accounts with past due balances. Students are not allowed to register if they owe money to the college. GTCC can withhold transcripts, degrees, diplomas, and certificates until students have paid their college bills. A past due account balance does not constitute a violation of the College’s Student Code of Conduct.
Collections
Delinquent accounts 90 days past due may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection of the debt. The consequences for a student’s account being turned over to collections are as follows:
- Student will be responsible for repayment of the outstanding debt plus collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees related to the collection of all delinquent debts owed to the College.
- The North Carolina Department of Revenue may withhold the student’s tax refund and remit it to the College as payment toward their outstanding debt.
- The student’s account may be reported to one or more nationally-recognized credit-reporting bureaus.
- Arrangements for repayment must be made with the outside collection agency, not the College.
VA Tuition
In accordance with Title 38 USC 3679(e) , a student will be allowed to attend or participate in a program of education if the Chapter 33/Post-9/11 GI Bill® or Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness and Employment-VR&E) beneficiary provides GTCC with a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or Purchase Order from VR&E by the date tuition is due, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA.
GTCC will not:
- Prevent the student’s enrollment or withdraw the student for non-payment;
- Assess a late penalty fee to the student;
- Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;
- Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution.
All other GI Bill® chapters & veteran’s programs (Ch 30, 35, 1606) are responsible for paying their tuition and fees by the payment due date.
