Student Services Fee - A mandatory Student Services Fee of $60 per semester is assessed of all students with
six or more credits. This fee helps to pay for services provided to students outside of the classroom. In addition
to standard support services, it provides access to student activities including the Lindquist Student Center
and skiing/snowboarding at Mt. Zion. Students enrolled for less than six credits have an option to pay the $60
student services fee to obtain activity privileges.
Transcript Fee - Students may obtain a transcript of their academic record at GCC either from the college’s
website through Parchment or by completing a transcript request form in the Vice President of Student
Services’ office. Both methods require a $5 fee per copy.
Other – Special fees exist for directed studies, independent studies, credit by examination, and other similar
considerations.
- Special charges may be assessed for untimely payment of any charges at GCC. Please consult the Business
Office for details.
Tuition Refund Policy
A student who drops from a class on or before the fifth business day after the start of classes is entitled to a
100% refund of the tuition and fees. In the event a course is cancelled, all tuition and fees are refunded.
A student who drops from a class after the close of the fifth business day shall receive no refund. Refunds will
not be issued to students based on non-attendance, absenteeism, or disciplinary reasons.
Tuition Refund Appeal
Students who withdraw from class after the official drop period due to mitigating circumstances may submit
an appeal requesting a refund equivalent to the amount of tuition and fees paid in connection with the
class(es) by completing the Tuition Refund Appeal. If the student is receiving financial assistance (sponsored
billing, financial aid, veteran/military benefits), a tuition refund may not be issued due to program
requirements.
Requests for a refund must be submitted using the Tuition Refund Appeal no later than the last day of the
semester of the class involved. An appointed committee will review appeals within ten business days. After a
decision has been reached, the student will be notified using the email provided on their Tuition Refund
Appeal.
If a student’s Tuition Refund Appeal is granted and the student is a federal financial aid recipient, their
financial aid may be reduced or removed and could result in a Return to Title IV (R2T4). This includes any
financial aid overages that have been received and/or bookstore charges.
Submitting a Tuition Refund Appeal does not relieve a student from their current obligation to Gogebic
Community College. A student is responsible for all charges accessed on their student account pending a
decision. Any outstanding charges on the students account after the Tuition Refund Appeal has been
processed is the student’s responsibility.
