Student billing
The Bursar's Office is located in N220 on the second floor of the
main campus building. This office is responsible for posting
payments to students' accounts,
processing all refunds due to students, billing, and collection
assignment.
Paying your tuition bill
Please complete a Tuition and Fee Billing Worksheet and Waiver Form and return it to the Bursar's Office with your payment by the due date of your bill. Complete a credit card payment form if you are paying by credit card.
Cash payments can be made in the Bursar's Office.
Check, money order, Visa, Master Card, or Discover payments can be made in the Bursar's Office or call the Bursar's Office at 413-775-1301.
Third Party Payments (Mass. Rehab, job training program, etc.): Documentation of third party payments (purchase order or letter of intent) must be submitted to the Bursar's Office prior to the payment due date.
GCC Installment Payment Plan: GCC is offering students a payment plan as an option for paying their tuition and fee expenses. For a $35.00 non-refundable enrollment fee, you can pay your bill in four (4) installments.
Please complete the GCC Payment Plan enrollment form in step 3 of the Tuition and Fee Billing Worksheet and Waiver Form only if you do NOT have enough resources to pay your bill in full by the bill due date. If you received a GCC financial aid award letter, and were awarded enough aid to cover your tuition and fees, or an outside agency confirmed payment in full, DO NOT complete the GCC Payment Plan enrollment form.
PAYMENT PLAN INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fill out the payment plan section in step 3 of the billing worksheet.
- The $35.00 enrollment fee is included on the worksheet calculations. That fee is not refundable.
- Mail or bring the worksheet to the Bursar's Office in N220 with your first installment, by the bill payment due date.
- Reminders will be mailed to you for the next three months' quarterly payments.
If you have questions regarding this, please contact the Bursar's Office at (413) 775-1301 or stop by talk with a member of our staff.
Tuition Waivers: The College requires that tuition waivers be submitted by the due date of the bill if you are eligible for one at that time. Proof of eligibility must be provided. No refunds will be made if you fail to submit the proper waiver in a timely manner. Generally, fees cannot be waived, except for senior citizens and certain college employees. Special program fees cannot be waived. Students registering using a tuition waiver may be admitted to the course on a "space available" basis.
Financial Aid: Financial aid programs are available that are funded through federal, state, institutional, private, and community resources. If you are receiving financial aid, please provide financial aid information to the Bursar's Office with your billing worksheet.
Late or Delinquent Payments: If you have not paid your bill by the due date, your class(es) may be canceled. In addition, any outstanding financial or property obligations to the College will result in a "hold" on your account, which will prevent you from receiving grade reports, receiving official transcripts, and from registering for classes. Your account may be turned over to the Commonwealth's Intercept Program (which intercepts tax refunds if you owe the College money) and the College's collection agency. All collection costs are the responsibility of the account holder.
Late Payment Fee: A late payment fee of $10.00 per month will be assessed to students who do not pay their bills in full within 30 calendar days of the due date. Students who have made arrangements to pay their bills in accordance with a written payment plan would also be charged $10.00 each month if they do not meet the agreed upon payment schedule.
