STATE EMPLOYEE TUITION WAIVER PROGRAM

Per Section 1009.265, Florida Statutes:

Lake City Community College will waive tuition and some fees for state employees to enroll for up to 6 credit hours of courses per term on a space-available basis.  For purposes of this section, employees of the State include employees of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government, except for persons employed by a state university.

Guidelines:

• State employees are responsible for paying Admissions application fees, course lab fees and book cost.
• State employees must complete all admissions requirements, including the Application for Admission, placement testing, transcripts, proof of prerequisites, proof of residency, etc.
• State employees must submit the Intent to Apply form by the established deadlines.
• State employees must register on the last day of Late Registration add/drop. Registration forms must be signed by an advisor.  Registration is for classes on a space-available basis only.
• Tuition will be waived for a maximum of six credits.  Waiver is for college credit or vocational credit courses only; it is not applicable to non-credit (community education) courses, courses offered as part of a limited access program, or a course being taken for a third or subsequent attempt.
• Lab fees are not waived.
• Employment verification must be provided each term. If verification is not provided, student will be responsible for tuition and fees.
• The Tuition waiver is for the current term of registration only.  It is not retroactive.
• Lake City Community College reserves the right to cancel any class at any time.
• Certain college credit courses operate strictly on a cost recovery basis and cannot accept fee waivers.
• Tuition waivers may not be used for a course being taken for a third or subsequent attempt or for a course offered as part of a limited access program.

Procedure:

• State employees must complete all admissions requirements prior to registering for class(es).
• State employees using the Tuition Wavier program are required to submit their State Employee Tuition Waiver Program-Intent to Apply Form with agency signature(s) to the Registrar's Office on or before the last regular class day (exclusive of finals) of the semester prior to the semester of enrollment.

• It is the student's responsibility to verify that the form is received by the Registrar's Office by the established deadline.  Keep your fax confirmation of any fax transmittals.

• Once the employee is admitted to LCCC, or if the employee is a current student, and the State Employee Tuition Waiver Program-Intent to Apply Form has been submitted as stipulated above, he/she may register for classes, on a space-available basis, by bringing the completed registration form to the Registar's Office during the last day of the Late Registration add/drop period between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm.

• • Students are required to pay any lab fees.  It is important that the fee is paid the day that you are registered.  If the fee is not paid on that date, you will be dropped from the class(es) for non-payment and may not use the state tuition waiver for the class during that term.
