State Employee Tuition Waivers

Florida Community College welcomes state employees to enroll in up to six credit hours of courses per term on a space-available basis.

The College will waive tuition and some fees for up to six credit hours per term in a valid program working toward a credential. This includes college-credit instruction, instruction toward a degree, and instruction toward a workforce certificate. This waiver applies to state employees employed full-time at the time of enrollment, excluding those employed by universities.

If you are interested in taking courses, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you fit the criteria to qualify for a tuition waiver. You must be a full-time state employee. Unfortunately, university employees are not eligible.
2. If you have not already done so, you should first complete a Florida Community College membership application. You can apply online, or fill one out at any campus. There is a $15 records origination fee you will have to pay.
3. After filling out a membership form, download and print out the State Employee Tuition Waiver Program - Intent to Apply form (This form is in PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.). You can also get this form from any campus business office. Fill out the form, indicating the courses you wish to take and have your supervisor and agency head sign. We suggest giving yourself a week or two to fill out the form, to ensure you'll have the required signatures in time to register.
4. Return the completed form to your campus business office. The business office will begin accepting the form the Wednesday before the class you are registering for starts.
5. You may then register for the courses you listed on the form. You can register online through Artemis or on campus. You are registering on a space-available basis. This means that you can only register after fee-paying students have had the chance to register for the class. So be prepared for the possibility that your first choice may be full.
6. Please remember that if you register earlier than the Wednesday of the week before the first day of classes of the term for which you are registering, you will be responsible for paying for all fees and tuition.
7. Certain fees are not waived, including lab, testing, kit, materials and insurance fees.
