2nd Year
We want all of our Promise students to continue to receive FREE tuition and mandatory fees during the second year! Students who meet the requirements at the end of the 1st year of The Promise are eligible for review of the 2nd Year of the Grossmont-Cuyamaca College Promise. Please review and complete the requirements below, by the semester deadline, to be awarded the Promise Fall of 2nd Year.
2nd Year Payments
Students who meet the first-year completion requirements of a cumulative 2.0 GPA and completion of 12 units will be notified via email, at the end of the Spring semester, of their eligibility to complete the two (2) 2nd Year requirements above. These students will NOT be charged tuition and mandatory fees when registering for Fall classes. The Promise will pay costs after the semester deadline, once eligibility is verified.
Students are notified of eligibility about 4 weeks after the Fall semester begins. At this time, The Promise will pay the tuition and mandatory fees of eligible students.
Students who did not complete the requirements by the semester deadline will be billed the cost of tuition and mandatory fees. They will receive a denial email and will be responsible for the costs.
