Student Accounts

Billing Information for 2017-18

Student Account

The student account reflects tuition, room and board, course fees, and other charges. Payments and financial aid (scholarships and loans) are recorded as credits that reduce the student account balance. Grove City College considers the student financially responsible for their student account. Accordingly, all correspondence is addressed to you (the student) and is sent to the your Grove City College email address. If you are receiving financial assistance from a parent or guardian, it is your responsibility to forward all correspondence regarding your student account to them.

Online Student Account Access

To access your student account online, log in to myGCC using your student ID number and password (issued in your acceptance letter). Once logged in, select the Financial Info menu then find the My Account Information portlet, and click on the My Account Balance link. To view your student account statement, click on Course and Fee Statement, Generate my Course and Fee Statement, and then View my Course and Fee Statement. You can create a separate Parent Portal Account for your parents or guardians in order for them to access your student account, financial aid, housing, and registration information. Instructions on how to create a Parent Portal Account are located under Quick Links in myGCC.

Crimson Cash Account

The Crimson Cash Account is a declining balance account on your Grove City College campus ID card. The card may be used to pay for purchases at participating campus locations (bookstore, GeDunk, print services, registrar's office) up to the amount of the prepaid card account balance. The Crimson Cash Account does not automatically interact with your student account. Funds are only transferred between the accounts upon request via email to studentaccounts@gcc.edu or in person at the Office of Student Accounts. Funds can be carried over to subsequent academic years, and any remaining funds are refunded upon graduation or withdrawal from Grove City College.

You can view your Crimson Cash balance and make deposits any time via e-check or credit card through the myGCC under the Financial Info menu. Cash deposits can be made at the Automated Deposit Machines (ADMs) located in Breen Student Union and the Technological Learning Center (TLC). Cash or check deposits are also accepted in the Office of Student Accounts, Second Floor, Crawford Hall during business hours.

Refunds

Refunds of over payments on your student account may be requested by contacting studentaccounts@gcc.edu. All estimated financial aid credits, such as state grants or Grove City College loans, must be received by the College before you get a full refund of your account. If you have an estimated credit on your account and you need money to purchase books, you may request up to $500 until we receive all of your estimated credits. Refunds will not be issued until after the first day of classes. Refunds can be issued via check or direct deposit (must be enrolled via payroll), or they can be placed on your Crimson Cash Account.

Bookstore

Purchases in the Grove City College Bookstore can be paid by cash, check, Crimson Cash, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or Discover). Students using credit cards must have both the credit card and either a valid student ID or driver’s license with them at the time of purchase. Student account credit is not extended for any bookstore purchases.

Scholarships

It is important to note that all scholarships are divided between two semesters unless the Office of Financial Aid receives notification in writing from the donor that the scholarship is to be applied to a single semester only. The Office of Financial Aid must receive written notification each year of all outside scholarships you are expecting. Find our more about Outside Scholarships.

Loans

In order for payment to be made to your student account prior to the payment deadline, it is critical that you apply for loans in a timely manner. The application process contains several steps so allow sufficient time for the loan application to be processed. Monitor your mail and email throughout the process for important notifications that require immediate action by borrower and co-signer. Failure to respond promptly could result in significant delays in completion of your loan. Missing or incomplete information will also cause delays in your loan application and disbursement. These delays could result in your student account being unpaid at the payment deadline and your being charged a $40 late payment fee. Get more information on Loans.
