Did the pandemic impact your plans to attend college or pursue career training? Winter quarter at Grays Harbor College begins Jan. 4 and eligible students can take one class for free. Grays Harbor College will cover the cost of one class winter quarter, up to five credits or $750.

The offer applies to eligible new, returning, and continuing students in credit-bearing classes and is only good for winter quarter. This program is made possible by the pandemic relief funds distributed to the college by the federal government.

To be eligible, you must meet the following requirements:

Can I enroll in more than one class?

■ Although this promotion will only pay up to $750, which generally covers all tuition and fees for five credits of in-state, lower division credits, you should enroll in the classes that best fit your academic and personal goals. Please check in with your academic advisor to discuss your academic plan.

Can I take one class at no cost if I do not plan to pursue a degree or certificate?
