Tuition & Fees
Greenville Technical College is a great value. You could pay two to three times as much at a public four-year college, and much more at a private college. Greenville Technical College uses a linear tuition and fees model in which students pay by the credit hour, no matter how many hours they take. This structure was adopted by the SC Technical College System, and is now in place at many of the system’s colleges.| Lottery Tuition Assistance per credit hour (six credit hour minimum, no maximum credit hour cut-off) | $110 |

When you change addresses, update your records immediately through WebAdvisor via GTC4me, the admissions office or any satellite campus. A correct address on file will ensure that any refund checks will be properly delivered. That is also the address we will use for account statements and bill notifications.
Please note: A change in address does not change your status for in-state tuition or in-county tuition. See below for full explanation.
The initial determination of one’s resident status is made at the time of admission. The determination made at that time, and any determination thereafter, prevails for each semester thereafter unless the person’s situation changes. Residency status may not be acquired by an applicant or student while residing in South Carolina for the sole purpose of enrollment at the college. Persons applying for a change in resident classification must complete a residency application and provide supporting documentation to Admissions at least three weeks prior to the first day of classes of the current semester. The change of residency is not retroactive and never results in a refund.
Auditing lets you review a class without grades or tests. No credit is given and fees are the same as for a credit course. If you wish to audit, you must declare this when you enroll.
