To determine the total cost of attendance for your program of study, visit the 老澳门资料 Military and Veterans Resource Center FAQ website.
In addition, please visit for an estimate prior to application. These figures are projected estimates based on current tuition/fee rates. Total program cost may be estimated by multiplying the annual cost estimate by the number of years in the academic program. Actual total program cost is subject to change based on a number of factors such as tuition/fee rates set by the Florida legislature, Florida Board of Governors or 老澳门资料 Board of Trustees and future aid eligibility. Because 老澳门资料 cannot account for every unforeseen variable that may affect total program cost, an individual’s actual total program cost may be lower or higher. 老澳门资料 will keep the total program costs estimates up-to-date based on the most recent information available. Once you have applied to 老澳门资料 you will receive a personalized College Financing Plan in your account to help simplify information about costs and financial aid and make decisions about your postsecondary education.
