The Student Payment Plan
The SPP gives students the option to pay tuition in manageable monthly instalments rather than a single lump sum.
What is the Student Payment Plan?
Administered by the Student Accounts Section within the Finance Department, the SPP allows students to pay tuition only in three (3) monthly instalments. It gives students more time to pay, making tuition easier to manage over time. Students who do not wish to access the SPP may pay in full.
When can students access it?
Students can access the SPP during the Registration period of each intake. Once a student qualifies, they simply make the applicable instalment by the stipulated deadline date.
Who can access it?
The plan is available to the following ONLY:
- Any national of Trinidad & Tobago pursuing a programme at GCI.
- Any national of another contributing country, apart from Trinidad & Tobago, who is not on scholarship support from their respective Government.
How can students access it?
Students must submit proof of payment of the first instalment when submitting documents for Financial Clearance.
Documents required for Provisional / Financial Clearance:
- Signed fee assessment invoice
- Proof of payment of tuition fees — online receipt (for online payments) or bank deposit slip (for payments made at the bank)
- Scholarship or sponsorship letter (if applicable) and any other proof of funding
