We are especially proud to celebrate a few historic milestones: record-breaking enrollment in fall 2025 and spring 2026.

a) An affidavit from the physician stating that obtaining the vaccination would be injurious to the health or wellbeing of the student.

b) An affidavit form completed by the student that he/she declines the vaccination for “reasons of conscience,” that includes religious beliefs.

Current students should visit or contact the Financial Aid Office each semester after registering for classes to verify their eligibility of benefits.

For more information regarding Veterans Administration education benefits, contact the Financial Aid Office at 409-944-1232.

Veterans Benefits And Transition Act Of 2018

In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), Galveston College adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Veterans Readiness and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA.

NOTE: A Covered Individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter 31, Veterans Readiness and Employment, or Chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.

Galveston College will permit any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to Galveston College a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website– eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

1. The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution.

2. 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.

Galveston College will not:

• Prevent nor delay the student's enrollment;

• Assess a late penalty fee to the student;

• Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;

• Deny the student access to any resources available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution, including but not limited to access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities.

However, to qualify for this provision, such students may be required to:

• Produce the Certificate of Eligibility by the first day of class;

• Provide written request to be certified;

• Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies.

Senior Citizens Discount

All United States citizens who are residents of Galveston Community College District who have attained the age of 65 years (65 and older) are eligible to receive a 100% tuition discount for credit courses and a 50% discount for associated fees for credit courses (exceptions include individual music instruction, course fees, liability insurance, health fees and testing fees). Tuition/fee adjustment requests for credit courses must be made at the time of registration.

Degree Audit

You may view your degree progress in your Whitecaps Portal. A degree audit is a computerized evaluation report that compares completed, in progress, and transfer coursework against program requirements. An audit report is generated that reflects coursework compared to requirements of a declared major at Galveston College. The audit is unofficial and should be used only as a tool to assist with planning future coursework. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with a Counselor, Faculty Advisor, or Program Coordinator when interpreting the report.

New and continuing students can view their degree progress by following these instructions:

1. Go to GC.EDU

2. Click on Whitecaps Portal.

3. Click the “myGC” Logo

4. Select "Student Planning and Registration"

5. Select "View my Progress"

Academic Fresh Start

Academic Fresh Start entitles residents of Texas to seek admission to public institutions of higher education as undergraduate students without consideration of courses undertaken 10 or more years prior to enrollment. An applicant for admission who is a Texas resident may enter Galveston College pursuant to the “academic fresh start” status, Texas Education Code, §51.931. Applicants can request a Petition for Academic Fresh Start from the Office of Admissions.

a) Fresh Start must be declared upon entrance to the College. Students who do not declare upon entrance will not be considered after they have enrolled.

b) An applicant who elects to apply under this statute may not receive any course credits or grades earned for courses taken 10 or more years prior to enrollment.

Notes: Academic Fresh Start does not apply to Financial Aid or VA benefits guidelines and/or regulations. Should the student seek admission under this option, then no college courses or credits 10 years or older will be evaluated. (A student's TSI exemption, based on work completed prior to the fall of 1989, is retained even if a student elects to take advantage of the Academic Fresh Start program.) This option does not relieve students from notifying the college of attendance at previous institutions, nor of the need to submit transcripts indicating all previous course work attempted.

Registration assistance and academic support are available for students with disabilities. For further information and to register for services, students should contact the Advising and Counseling Center in Moody Hall at 409-944-1220, or email advising@gc.edu.

Galveston College has launched a program designed to lower cost and increase access to required digital course materials for participating classes before the first day of class. This program makes getting digital textbooks easier on students, which will ultimately improve their success at Galveston College. Inclusive Access is estimated to reduce the cost of traditional textbook purchases by an average of 10 to 50% and provide them by the first day of class. The cost of the required digital course materials will be charged at the time of course registration. If the student does not wish to participate in Inclusive Access for any or all courses, they have up to the census day to opt out of Inclusive Access. If the student opts out, the online content will be turned off and the course fee amount will be removed from the account. The student will still be responsible for getting access to the materials which will usually cost more than the Inclusive Access Fee. To opt out of the inclusive access in Canvas, navigate to your course section and select the BibliU Opt-Out button. If you need assistance, you can also contact BibliU Campus, Inc. directly at 409-944-1259.

* Inclusive access fees are non-refundable after the section's census date.

Additional Fees

The $33 registration fee is non-refundable at any time. Student I.D. cards must be obtained by the 12th class day or there will be an additional $5 charge.

A $25 non-refundable late registration fee will be assessed and a $10 non-refundable schedule change fee will be assessed for additions, drops, or changes as follows:

Note: Tuition, fees and the refund policy listed in this schedule are accurate at the time of publication. Galveston College reserves the right to change its tuition, fees and refund policy wholly or in part during the semesters covering in the schedule. All third-party vouchers covering payment must be submitted before the last day of the refund period.

Tuition Residency Classification

Residency for tuition purposes is established at the time of application to Galveston College based on the Residency Questionnaire and Admissions Application. Once residency has been determined, students must submit a Request for Residency Reclassification and provide documentation to change residency status for tuition purposes.

1. A student is considered a Texas Resident - In-District resident if he/she has resided in the college taxing district for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes.

2. A student is considered a Texas Resident - Out-Of-District resident if he/she has resided in the State of Texas for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes and is not a resident of the college’s taxing district.

3. A student is considered an Out-Of-State / Non-Resident student if he/she has NOT resided in the State of Texas for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes.

*Additional documentation may be required to establish residency for tuition purposes at Galveston College.

The Board of Regents of Galveston College has authorized the waiver of the difference in the rate of tuition for nonresident and resident students for a person, or his or her dependents, who owns property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by the Galveston College District. The person, or his or her dependents, applying for such a waiver shall verify property ownership by presentation of an ad valorem tax statement or receipt, issued by the tax office of the Galveston College District, or by presentation of a deed, property closing statement, or other appropriate evidence of ownership of property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by the Galveston College District.

The responsibility of enrolling in courses under the proper residence classification is that of the student. If there is any question regarding the student's correct residency classification, it is the responsibility of the student to discuss this matter with the Registrar/Director of Admissions.

Changes to tuition residency classification must be submitted prior to the published census date for the change to be effective for the appropriate term.

Concurrent Institutional Enrollment Tuition Adjustment

When a student registers at more than one public institution of higher education at the same time (i.e., enrolled at Texas A&M at Galveston and Galveston College or UTMB and Galveston College), the student may be eligible for a reduction in tuition. This adjustment will be in accordance with Section 54.0602 of the Education Code which establishes, in essence, that once a student has enrolled at one public institution and paid the required minimum tuition, he/she will be charged tuition at the credit rate only when enrolling at a second public institution and will not have to pay the minimum tuition charge a second time. If a student is enrolled in four or more hours at Galveston College they are not subject to the minimum tuition requirement or the waiver. In order to qualify, the student must bring a copy of their receipt for payment of tuition from the institution in which enrollment was first made by the 12th class day (for fall and spring semesters) or at time of payment at Galveston College.

Texas Tuition Waiver

The student must bring the required third-party billing voucher issued by the sponsor to the Business Office by the census date for the term (varies by term). Voucher with missing, incorrect information, or received after the census date of the term will not be accepted.

Returned Checks

All returned checks will be assessed a $35 handling fee. Upon receiving a returned check, the Business Office will place a "hold" on the student's record. A certified letter will be sent to the individual whose check is returned. This letter will set a final date for settlement of this returned check. After this date, the returned check will be sent to the District Attorney's office for legal action.

Stop Payment Fee

Checks that are reissued as a result of being lost due to mishandling, mutilation, or incorrect address will result in a $10 stop pay reissuance fee.

How to Pay

Students can pay on campus in the Business Office by check, cash, or credit cards. Galveston College accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. The Business Office is located on the second floor of Moody Hall at 4015 Avenue Q, Galveston, Texas. In addition, students can pay online using their student portal.

The majority of classes will include an Inclusive Access (IA) fee as part of registration. This fee covers the cost of electronic textbooks required for the course. IA fees are cheaper than the regular cost of these textbooks therefore save the students money. The exact IA fee associate with each course can be found online through the Whitecaps Portal. Students do have the option of opting-out of IA fees, but will still have to purchase the required materials often at a higher price.

Additional Student Information

Student Records

Galveston College has established policies and procedures to comply with the “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974” and the “Texas Open Records Law” (State Senate Bill 1071 and House Bill 6).

Generally, schools must have written permission from the eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

• School officials with legitimate educational interest*;

• Other schools to which a student is transferring;

• Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

• Organizations conducting studies on certain students for or on behalf of the school;

• Accrediting organizations;

• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and,

• State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law.

* A school official may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Galveston College who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Galveston College. Galveston College also considers personnel instructing/ supervising students at clinical, internship and other practicum sites as school officials.

Student Rights Under FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution at any age.) These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day Galveston College receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Director of Admissions/ Registrar a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask Galveston College to amend a record should write Director of Admissions/Registrar, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed and specify why it should be changed. If Galveston College decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

3. The right to provide written consent before Galveston College discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Galveston College discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under FERPA except for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official includes a person employed by Galveston College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the Board of Regents; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee.

A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Galveston College who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Galveston College. Galveston College also considers personnel instructing/supervising students at clinical, internship and other practicum sites as school officials.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Galveston College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202

Questions regarding a student’s rights under FERPA may be directed to the Director of Admissions/Registrar.
