Florida Prepaid College Program
If you have the Florida Prepaid tuition plan, the amount it will pay per credit hour will vary based on the type of plan purchased. Since the programs provided by UNFDCE are clock hours, they need to be converted to credit hours to determine the total amount to be paid by Florida Prepaid. To get started, go to the Florida Prepaid website, create a profile, and submit documentation to UNFDCE verifying your account. If your account is not in good standing or you need to complete a survey, Florida Prepaid will not pay. It can be used for a face-to-face or online class format. Visit www.myfloridaprepaid.com or contact the Program Director, Jessica Murray, with questions.
-
Information Session Discounts
For a few selected programs (Project Management and Logistics), information sessions are held to provide individuals the opportunity to ask programmatic questions and meet the instructors. Discounts are available to these attendees.
-
MyCAA
The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts Program (MyCAA) helps military spouses pursue licenses, certificates, certifications, or Associate’s Degrees necessary for gainful employment in high-demand, high-growth Portable Career Fields and Occupations. It can be used for a face-to-face or online class format. To establish a MyCAA account and get your enrollment approved, visit the spouse portal at mycaa.medcertify.com. Contact Program Director, Jessica Murray, with questions.
