Galveston College will permit any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to Galveston College a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website– eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

Academic Fresh Start
Academic Fresh Start entitles residents of Texas to seek admission to public institutions of higher education as undergraduate students without consideration of courses undertaken 10 or more years prior to enrollment. An applicant for admission who is a Texas resident may enter Galveston College pursuant to the “academic fresh start” status, Texas Education Code, §51.931. Applicants can request a Petition for Academic Fresh Start from the Office of Admissions.
a) Fresh Start must be declared upon entrance to the College. Students who do not declare upon entrance will not be considered after they have enrolled.
b) An applicant who elects to apply under this statute may not receive any course credits or grades earned for courses taken 10 or more years prior to enrollment.
Notes: Academic Fresh Start does not apply to Financial Aid or VA benefits guidelines and/or regulations. Should the student seek admission under this option, then no college courses or credits 10 years or older will be evaluated. (A student's TSI exemption, based on work completed prior to the fall of 1989, is retained even if a student elects to take advantage of the Academic Fresh Start program.) This option does not relieve students from notifying the college of attendance at previous institutions, nor of the need to submit transcripts indicating all previous course work attempted.

Galveston College has launched a program designed to lower cost and increase access to required digital course materials for participating classes before the first day of class. This program makes getting digital textbooks easier on students, which will ultimately improve their success at Galveston College. Inclusive Access is estimated to reduce the cost of traditional textbook purchases by an average of 10 to 50% and provide them by the first day of class. The cost of the required digital course materials will be charged at the time of course registration. If the student does not wish to participate in Inclusive Access for any or all courses, they have up to the census day to opt out of Inclusive Access. If the student opts out, the online content will be turned off and the course fee amount will be removed from the account. The student will still be responsible for getting access to the materials which will usually cost more that the Inclusive Access Fee. Instructions to opt out will be sent via email to the students Whitecaps email or contact the Texas Book Company directly at (409) 944-1259. Inclusive Access fees are paid to the bookstore on the census date. They are 100% refundable until the census date, after which they become non-refundable.
Tuition Residency Classifications
Residency for tuition purposes is established at the time of application to Galveston College based on the Residency Questionnaire and Admissions Application. Once residency has been determined, students must submit a Request for Residency Reclassification and provide documentation to change residency status for tuition purposes.
1. A student is considered a Texas Resident - In-District Resident if he/she has resided in the college taxing district for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes.
2. A student is considered a Texas Resident - Out-Of-District Resident if he/she has resided in the state of Texas for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes and is not a resident of the college’s taxing district.
3. A student is considered an Out-Of-State / Non-Resident student if he/she has NOT resided in the state of Texas for at least 12 months prior to the student's first registration at Galveston College for other than educational purposes.
*Additional documentation may be required to establish residency for tuition purposes at Galveston College.
The Board of Regents of Galveston College has authorized the waiver of the difference in the rate of tuition for nonresident and resident students for a person, or his or her dependents, who owns property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by the Galveston College District. The person, or his or her dependents, applying for such a waiver shall verify property ownership by presentation of an ad valorem tax statement or receipt, issued by the tax office of the Galveston College District, or by presentation of a deed, property closing statement, or other appropriate evidence of ownership of property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by the Galveston College District.
The responsibility of enrolling in courses under the proper residence classification is that of the student. If there is any question regarding the student's correct residency classification, it is the responsibility of the student to discuss this matter with the Registrar/Director of Admissions.
Changes to tuition residency classification must be submitted prior to the published census date for the change to be effective for the appropriate term.
Concurrent Institutional Enrollment Tuition Adjustment
When a student registers at more than one public institution of higher education at the same time (i.e., enrolled at Texas A&M at Galveston and Galveston College or UTMB and Galveston College), the student may be eligible for a reduction in tuition. This adjustment will be in accordance with Section 54.0602 of the Education Code which establishes, in essence, that once a student has enrolled at one public institution, and paid the required minimum tuition, he/she will be charged tuition at the credit rate only when enrolling at a second public institution, and will not have to pay the minimum tuition charge a second time. If a student is enrolled in four or more hours at Galveston College they are not subject to the minimum tuition requirement or the waiver. In order to qualify, the student must bring a copy of their receipt for payment of tuition from the institution in which enrollment was first made by the 12th class day (for fall and spring semesters) or at time of payment at Galveston College.
Texas Tuition Waiver
The student must bring the required third-party billing voucher issued by the sponsor to the Business Office by the census date for the term (varies by term). Voucher with missing, incorrect information, or received after the census date of the term will not be accepted.
Returned Checks
All returned checks will be assessed a $35 handling fee. Upon receiving a returned check, the Business Office will place a "hold" on the student's record. A certified letter will be sent to the individual whose check is returned. This letter will set a final date for settlement of this returned check. After this date, the returned check will be sent to the District Attorney's office for legal action..
Stop Payment Fee
Checks that are reissued as a result of being lost due to mishandling, mutilation, or incorrect address will result in a $10 stop pay reissuance fee.
How To Pay
Students can pay on campus in the Business Office by check, cash, or credit cards. Galveston College accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. The Business Office is located on the second floor of Moody Hall at 4015 Avenue Q, Galveston, Texas. In addition, students can pay online using FACTS e-Cashier payment plans.

Additional Student Information
Student Records
Galveston College has established policies and procedures to comply with the “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974” and the “Texas Open Records Law” (State Senate Bill 1071 and House Bill 6).
Generally, schools must have written permission from the eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
• School officials with legitimate educational interest*;
• Other schools to which a student is transferring;
• Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
• Organizations conducting studies on certain students for or on behalf of the school;
• Accrediting organizations;
• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and,
• State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state law.
* A school official may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Galveston College who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Galveston College. Galveston College also considers personnel instructing/ supervising students at clinical, internship, and other practicum sites as school officials.
Student Rights Under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution at any age.) These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day Galveston College receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Director of Admissions/Registrar a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask Galveston College to amend a record should write Director of Admissions/Registrar, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If Galveston College decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before Galveston College discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Galveston College discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under FERPA except for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official includes a person employed by Galveston College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the Board of Regents; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee.
A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Galveston College who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Galveston College. Galveston College also considers personnel instructing/supervising students at clinical, internship, and other practicum sites as school officials.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Galveston College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202
Questions regarding a student’s rights under FERPA may be directed to the Director of Admissions/Registrar.

Any student who has missed 10% of the total clock hours of instruction, not excused by the instructor, may be withdrawn from class by the instructor with a grade of “AWN”. Students are expected to report to class on time. At the discretion of the instructor, tardiness may be treated the same as an absence and the AWN policy may be applied.
Committed To Safety
Students who have experienced sexual assault, sexual violence, stalking, domestic violence, or other crimes may seek advice, assistance, and resources from the Vice President of Student Services, or the College’s Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator’s duties include facilitating the complaint and investigation process.
