Any registration that occurs on August 27th or later will not be dropped for non-payment. Students that enroll are responsible for paying their fees or withdrawing from classes prior to the refund deadline to cancel fees.
IMPORTANT: Ultimately, students are responsible for any fees incurred and grades received. It is the students responsibility to drop classes by the State mandated refund deadline to avoid fee obligations and MUST print a student class program (available via MyGWC) to verify all withdrawals regardless of drop for non-payment schedule. Not showing up to class for the first class meeting does not equate to withdrawing from a class. If you do not attend a class in which you are enrolled you must drop yourself from the class by the refund deadline. Drops are completed online via MyGWC.
Late Payment Agreement:
Students who owe under $150 and need an extension on paying their registration fees, may be considered for a Fall 2021 Late Payment Agreement. Students must apply for the FASFA or California Dream Act and then complete the Late Payment Agreement Contract. This will extend your deadline to pay to October 1, 2021. You must sign up for the late payment agreement no later than 12:00 noon the day of the drop for non-payment. Questions? Please contact Sonia Cazarez at scazarez@gwc.cccd.edu
Payment Plan
Have you registered for courses, owe over $150, and need a payment plan for your current registration term? Please visit the Cashnet Payment Portal for set-up! Payment plans must be set-up by 12:00 pm the day of our scheduled drop for non-payment to ensure you are not dropped from all courses including waitlisted courses. The amount you sign up for on the Payment Plan must equal your total amount due for the registration term or your plan will not be valid, and your classes will be dropped. Balances due from prior terms cannot be added to a current Payment Plan.
College reserves the right to cancel classes. All classes offered are based upon sufficient enrollment to economically warrant them. Classes may be canceled as a result of low enrollment, State legislation, and financial considerations. When classes are canceled due to low enrollment, every attempt will be made to help students adjust their academic schedules.
All dates and hours of operation are subject to change without notice.
Deadlines for refunds, fee cancellations, registration, and withdrawals are different for each course.
For specific course deadlines, please refer to one of the following: Student Class Program/Web Schedule Bill (Available via MyGWC)
Short term classes (any course other than 16-wk which would include Winter Intersession Courses and Summer Courses)
Students must officially withdraw from classes either online or in person by the specific deadline for each class. Refer to the Student Class Program/Web Schedule Bill on the Student tab of the MyGWC portal page as drop dates may vary from class to class. It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from classes and to verify all withdrawals by printing the Student Class Program.
