Guam Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Guam Community College?

For 2024-25, reported annual undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $3,414 for Guam-resident full-time students: $3,120 in tuition and $294 in required fees. The corresponding reported amount for out-of-state students was $4,614, including $4,320 in tuition and the same $294 in required fees.

• Guam-resident part-time tuition: $130 per credit hour.
• Out-of-state part-time tuition: $180 per credit hour.
• Reported allowance for books and supplies: $1,800.
• Reported room-and-board allowance: $11,325; this is a budgeting figure, not a charge for a GCC residence hall.

Tuition and required fees are only part of an annual budget. Students may also face transportation, food, housing, personal, and program-specific expenses; actual spending will depend on living arrangements and course choices. Adding published allowances to tuition can help with planning, but it should not be mistaken for a bill from the college.

Financial aid changes the picture for eligible students. In 2024-25, 84% of students received some form of financial aid. Reported average net prices for families with annual incomes up to $48,000 were $3,119; for the $48,001-$75,000 bracket, the figure was $5,596. Net price is an average cost after grant aid, not an individual award or a guaranteed price. Students should compare their own aid offer with a budget that reflects whether they will live at home, rent, or support dependents.

What are the work-study opportunities at Guam Community College?

Students seeking paid work during college should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that, when offered and accepted, allows an eligible student to earn wages through an approved position; it is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Availability of a position, hiring requirements, scheduled hours, and the student's financial aid award all matter. Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required aid application and ask GCC's financial aid office how eligible positions are posted and filled. A regular job or a course-related internship may offer experience too, but it follows different pay and eligibility rules. No internship is required of every GCC student.

For career planning beyond paid student work, applicants should ask their intended program about employer connections, required practical experience, and help preparing for a job search. Those opportunities may differ substantially between programs and should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
