Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

Prices for classes and books and all are fairly cheap if you're a Florida resident.
Faith from Bartow, FL
If you are a Florida resident you will save a lot of money. Financial Aid is great, so please sign up for it on the first of every January. It will help you save from money. Trust me.
Jeannie from Lakeland, FL
Cost efficient and high quality; you couldn't ask for more.
Marisa from Winter Haven, FL
Public high school students who enroll in the collegiate high school receive full tuition for classes and course materials from the college. Dual-enrolled high school students receive full class tuition but are expected to pay for course materials. The latter is also only allowed to apply for 9 credit hours per semester, as they are expected to make up the rest of their high school credits (per semester) through their high school of choice, be it public or home school affiliated.
