Tuition and fees
Your costs will vary depending upon the number of credits and types of courses taken, and individual circumstances. The College has different tuition and fee charges for day, evening, summer, and intersession courses, and for credit-free workshops. In addition, your residency status and miscellaneous fees may impact the amount of your bill. Tuition and fee charges are subject to change at the discretion of the Board of Trustees of GCC.
Tuition cost is based on your official permanent residence. Residents of Massachusetts pay the lowest tuition. We consider you an in-state student if you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, have established a residence in Massachusetts, and maintained continuous residence in Massachusetts for at least six months immediately prior to the date of your application. Download and complete the In-State Tuition Eligibility Form to qualify. Students from other New England states who qualify for the Regional Student Program of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEHBE) currently pay 150 percent of the Massachusetts resident tuition.
