State of Florida Employees Tuition Waiver

Full-time state employees may be allowed to enroll for up to six (6) credit hours of eligible instruction per term on a space-available basis without payment of tuition and fees.

Should the employees register for the courses to which the waiver will apply prior to the prescribed date and time, the fee waiver will be invalid and the employee will be liable for all applicable fees. The tuition waiver cannot be used for courses that have increased costs. These courses include, but are not limited to, continuing education courses, independent study, supervised research, supervised teaching labs, thesis hours, dissertation, internships, practicums, third-attempt repeat courses and surcharges, co-ops, or applied individualized instruction in Music, Art, or Dance, etc. Any state employee who uses an Employee Tuition Waiver for approved courses must submit a completed and signed tuition waiver form to the UCF Student Accounts Office (MH 107).

Florida Residency for Tuition Purposes

The offices of Undergraduate Admissions and Graduate Studies determine first term at UCF residency for tuition purposes for all newly admitted students. Thereafter, the Registrar's Office will review undergraduate student requests for changes in residency.

To request a residency review, the student must submit a completed "Residency Reclassification Request Form" and supporting documents to the Registrar's Office (MH 161). This form is available either at the Registrar's Office or online at http://registrar.ucf.edu. The reclassification form must be accompanied by all documents that support the student's Florida residency claim. Residency reclassification requests are subject to Florida Statute 1009.21, Florida State Board of Education Administrative Code 6A-10.044, and State Board of Education rule 6C-7.005. In addition, University policy requires students requesting residency reclassification to provide documentation establishing that they have income or personal sources to meet financial obligations of attendance and living expenses.

New and continuing students who believe that they qualify for Florida residency must submit the request and all documents prior to the end of "Late Registration and Add" period for the term in which Florida residency is requested. Documentation received after the last day of "Late Registration and Add" period will not be used to determine residency for the current term.
