Where are We Now?   ITS & Enrollment Services

  Working on modifications to systems and processes to accommodate accelerated terms.

  Programs   Working on setting their carousels and beginning

work on course transition/development

  Marketing/Recruitment to begin in December/January.

  First courses offered in May 2014

Market Rate Tuition   Review Process

  Reviewed 8-10 other programs in each area (online, traditional, Florida, and out of state).   Looked at their tuition only.

  Determined which fees we felt we needed to retain.

  Remembered the need to be competitive – both within Florida and outside of Florida.

Market Rate Tuition   Recommendation is for $458.33 per credit hour or

$1,375.00 per 3-credit course for each of the three graduate programs – for all students (Residents and Non-Residents).   $1,375.00 as tuition (split 50/50 with AP)   An additional $202.23 as fees (DL, Technology, Capital

Improvement, and Financial Aid) – not split with AP.   So the grand total for a student would be $1,577.23 for

a 3-credit class in an AP program.
