Paying Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are payable by the deadline published on the official Academic Calendar and the Bursar's Office web page for each academic term. Registration is not complete until all charges are paid. The Institute reserves the right at any time during the semester to drop any student from classes for failure to pay their balance in full. In no case is a regulation waived or an exception granted because a student pleads ignorance of the regulation or asserts they were not informed of it by an adviser or other authority. Students who owe the Institute money and have been placed on "hold" because of failure to pay may have their account forwarded to a professional collection agency.
Payment may be made by check payable in U.S. currency and drawn on a financial institution located in the U.S. (with checking account encoded on the check and made payable to Georgia Institute of Technology), or cashier's check. Credit card payments and electronic checks (WebChecks) are accepted online through the Bill+Payment portal. Credit card payments are processed by a third party vendor which charges a 2.85 percent fee for this service. A fee is not charged for WebCheck transactions. Credit card payments cannot be made by mail, phone, fax, or in person.
Tuition and Fee Rates
The tuition and fees listed are estimates and are subject to change. These amounts should be used only as a planning guide for future payments. Tuition charges can vary based on state residency status and degree program of study. Residency status is determined by the Office of Admission at the time of acceptance. Students are either classified as a resident or nonresident of Georgia for tuition purposes in accordance with the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The most current information on tuition and fees is available at http://www.bursar.gatech.edu/content/tuition-fees.
Mandatory Student Fees
Published student fees are subject to change and should be considered estimates for use in planning future payments. Students registered for four or more credit hours in one academic term are charged all mandatory student fees which are due at the same time as tuition charges. Mandatory student fees are considered part of the registration process and must be paid in full for the student to be considered enrolled. The Activity Fee, Athletic Fee, CRC Operations Fee, Campus Center Facility Fee, Health Fee, Recreation Facility Fee, Student Campus Center Operations Fee, Special Institutional Fee, Technology Fee, and Transportation Fee are mandatory student fees used to provide cultural, social, and athletic programs for the entire student body. In addition, these fees provide financial support for student facilities at the Institute, guest speakers and lecturers, student publications, and many special events that are available exclusively for Georgia Tech students. The Transportation Fee assists in defraying shuttle costs for transporting students. The Technology Fee supports the infrastructure necessary to provide students with the latest online computing services technology. Students registering for fewer than four credit hours in one academic term are required to pay the Special Institutional Fee, Technology Fee, and Transportation Fee. See https://www.bursar.gatech.edu/tuition-fees for current information.

Students who do not meet payment deadlines may incur penalty fees. If a student does not pay all required fees by the published payment deadlines (https://www.bursar.gatech.edu/calendar) registration may be canceled. The late payment fee is currently $100. If registration is canceled, the reinstatement fee is $200. Reinstatement is not guaranteed.
