Fees and Refunds

Fees

Fees are determined by policy of the School District in conformity with State law. Total fees consist of a Basic Fee, Financial Aid Fee, Capital Improvement Fee, Technology Fee, and a Lab Fee. Cooperative education students are exempt from the Lab Fee portion. Each student attending class on the first day of the semester will be charged fees for the entire semester.

All students must pay fees or have a cooperating agency pay fees for them before they are admitted to class. Fees for 2025-2026 are dependent upon the program of entry. See inside back cover for 2025-2026 fee schedule.

Fees are due by the 1st day of class. Failure to pay fees will result in an administrative withdrawal.

If a student does not begin class at the beginning of a semester, fees will be pro-rated for that semester according to the number of days remaining in the semester. If a student completes a program during the semester, the fees are pro-rated and a refund is given.

Payment Plans

Payment plans for the semester tuition and fees due are available to interested students. The student agrees to pay the amount due in the monthly installments specified in the plan, regardless of whether the student maintains his/her enrollment at the institution. If any scheduled payment related to the payment plan is deemed delinquent during the term of the agreement, the institution may consider the agreement to be in default, and may seek collection of any outstanding balance. The balance of the payment plan must be paid in full by the end of the semester; students with an outstanding balance at the completion of the semester shall be prohibited from attending the following semester until the balance is paid in full.

Refunds

Refunds of tuition only will be calculated according to the following terms (registration fee is non-refundable):

• Students withdrawing during the first 10 school days of enrollment shall receive a one hundred percent (100%) refund.
• No refunds will be issued after the tenth school day of enrollment.
• Program Completers who finish during the semester will be refunded a pro-rated portion of tuition paid.

Refunds shall be made within thirty (30) business days of the last day of attendance and will be mailed to the student's address on file, unless other arrangements have been made with the Bookkeeper. Questions or concerns should be addressed to the Bookkeeper, 850-941-6200, ext. 201005.

Books/Tools

Instructors or counselors will provide a list of books, tools, and other items required for the class. This information can also be found on our website at www.GeorgeStoneCollege.edu. All students will be required to purchase their books and supplies. Students can purchase their books at most local book stores or through the Internet.

ID Badges

Students will be issued a GSTC identification badge upon enrollment to the school. Badges should be worn at all times while on campus (unless program and/or shop safety rules prohibit). Replacement cost for a lost or damaged badge is $5.
