FEE CATEGORIES
Fees are categorized as application fees, tuition, activity fees, and registration fees. Tuition is assessed according to policies for postsecondary vocational education as set by the Board of the Department of Technical and Adult Education.
Fees may be paid by cash, check, CREDIT card or financial aid authorization. Checks should be made payable to Griffin Technical College. A student whose check is returned for insufficient funds will be required to leave class until such time as payment is made to the school for all required fees. Failure to fulfill financial responsibilities will result in denial of registration, transcripts, diplomas, and other services.
Adult citizens more than sixty-two years of age may attend by paying only the activity and registration fees. These students are enrolled on a space available basis and cannot displace any other diploma or degree-bound student.
REFUND POLICY
It is the policy of Griffin Technical College to refund 100% of tuition and fees for regular classes when requested in writing before the first day (night) of class, and 75% of tuition when requested in writing within 7 consecutive calendar days from the first day (night) of class. There is no refund after the seventh consecutive day, and no refund without a receipt.
Refunds for short-term workshops/seminars will be made only when a request for a refund is submitted in writing before the first day of class accompanied by the original receipt.
Classes canceled by Griffin Tech will be refunded 100%. Application and insurance fees are non-refundable.
MISCELLANEOUS FEES
Textbooks can be purchased from the Griffin Tech Bookstore located on the Griffin Tech campus. Books may be purchased with cash, check or CREDIT card. Books may be returned for a refund within seven days of purchase provided the book is returned in like-new condition with the original sales receipt. Used books may be resold to the bookstore during the designated "buy-back" period if the bookstore has a need for the book.
Tools are needed by students in some programs and are also valuable upon employment. The tools required by these programs may not constitute a complete set, but will certainly be adequate to prepare the student to begin employment. Purchase of tools is the student’s responsibility. Uniforms, lab coats and other supplies may be required in some program areas. The expense of these items is the student’s responsibility.
Graduation fees are assessed when the student applies to graduate. A fee of $25.00 is due when the student files the Application to Graduate. The fee is charged only for students planning to attend the graduation ceremony. If the student requests that his or her diploma be sent by certified mail, there is an additional fee of $5.00.
TRANSCRIPTS
The first transcript a student requests is free; subsequent transcripts are $3.00 each. In order to receive a transcript or have one sent to another party, a student must sign a release form in the Student Services office. A request to send a facsimile of a transcript requires a signed transcript release and payment of $3.00. Students should be aware that the recipient of a faxed transcript may not consider the transcript official. Transcripts which are faxed to Griffin Tech for transfer evaluation purposes will be informally evaluated, but an official copy is required for credits to be assigned to the student’s record. Allow 3 to 5 working days for processing, 15 days at the end of term. Rush transcript fee: $5.00 (Please note transcripts will not be released if there is a financial hold.)
INSURANCE
Student accident insurance is required of all students for a nominal fee and is payable on a quarterly basis.
Tool Insurance is available to those students who furnish their own tools and wish to leave them on campus from day to day. This insurance is available at no cost to the student with a $50 deductible. Students should ask their program instructor about this insurance.
Liability insurance is required of students in Medical Assisting, Practical Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Surgical Technology, Early Childhood Education, and EMS in order to participate in clinical training. This insurance is payable prior to beginning the clinical training portion of the program and is based upon rates supplied to Griffin Tech by the carrier.
REGISTRATION
Registration days are set for returning and new students. Tuition, activity fees and registration fees are due on these days. Books may be purchased at the campus bookstore. Students who do not register on the days set aside for registration are in jeopardy of losing their space in class. Students registering late are subject to a $25.00 late charge. Students receiving some form of financial aid must submit an authorized payment form to the financial aid office during the registration period.
