Financial Aid Student Guide

Net Price Calculator

Planning for a postsecondary education can seem like an insurmountable task, and sometimes it seems that the financial aid office has a language all its own. The purpose of the Net Price Calculator is to give first-time, full-time students (and their parents) a better idea of what their “estimated” educational cost will be. The estimates provided by the Net Price Calculator will provide you a general snapshot of what you can expect for planning purposes, should you enroll in a Florida Technical College program. The estimate provided is based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in that program in the most recent award year (e.g., 2011-2012).  It is important to understand, however, that cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year, and awards are determined on an individual basis. Moreover, not all students receive financial aid. Therefore, the information provided, while helpful for planning, may only provide a partial overview of what you can expect to receive in financial aid. Also, please keep in mind that actually applying for financial aid is a separate process. In order to receive a federal financial aid award, for example, an eligible student must first submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or “FASFA” (to learn more about the FAFSA, students may visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (opens new window)). To calculate the net price for the largest FTC program you are considering attending, click the appropriate link below. Also, we have included the following glossary terms below, which may help explain the meaning of the terms used in the Net Price Calculator and how they relate to you.

Estimated Total Price of Attendance: Also referred to as the cost of attendance (COA). The cost of attendance is based upon average costs and educational expenses for a student in your category. The cost of attendance helps us to determine your financial aid award, but does not reflect the amount you owe FTC. You will receive a bill that shows your actual charges.

Estimated Tuition & Fees: This number represents the cost of tuition for classes and any applicable fees.

Estimated Room & Board: This amount is an average figure based on information gathered by FTC each year. It is expected that additional financial aid proceeds will be used to pay living expenses.

Estimated Books and Supplies: This is an average amount you might spend on books and supplies. This amount is not actually billed to your student account.

Estimated Other Expenses: Also referred to as miscellaneous and personal. This is an estimate of what you might spend during the school year on personal items, clothing, recreation and travel, and is not an amount billed by FTC.

Estimated Total Grant Aid: The median amount of grant aid, which is aid that does not have to be repaid (also known as gift aid), received by FTC students in your category. This amount includes federal aid (such as Pell Grant), as well as state & institutional grant aid. It does not include any outside scholarships you may receive.

Estimated Net Price: This is the price of attendance minus any grant aid you receive.

Add/Drop Period

The add/drop period is the first week for which the student is financially committed. If the student withdraws before the end of the add/drop period, the student will be refunded all tuition and fees, as well as any funds paid for supplies, books, or equipment which can be and are returned to the institution. No adjustments will be made for courses dropped after this date. Please refer to the refund policies set forth below for more information.

Institutional Refund Policy

The withdrawal date for refund calculation purposes will be the last date of attendance. Refunds shall be calculated as follows:

Percent of Period of Obligation Attended: Percent of Tuition to be Refunded:

Up to 10% 90%
More than 10% to 20% 80%
More than 20% to 30% 30%
More than 30% to 50% 25%
More than 50% 0

Institutional refunds shall be made within 30 days of the date that the institution determines that the student has withdrawn.

Application Cancellation

Additional Refund Policies

Full tuition and applicable fee refunds for a period of obligation will be made if the course is canceled by the College or if a student is denied admission by the College. Tuition and applicable fees may also be refunded in full for courses that are attempted but not completed during the quarter if written notice documents one of the following circumstances within 30 days of the occurrence:

  • Involuntary call to active military duty.
  • Documented death of student or a member of his/her family (independent parent or dependent spouse, child, or sibling).
  • Illness of the student of such severity or duration, as approved by the College and confirmed in writing by a physician, that completion of the period of enrollment for which the student has been charged is precluded.
  • Exceptional circumstances with approval of the executive director or the campus dean/director of education.

Return of Title IV Funds

All institutions participating in the Title IV programs are required to use a statutory schedule to determine the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned when he or she ceases attendance, based on the period the student was in attendance. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 in general, require that if a recipient of Title IV funds withdraws from a school during a payment period or a period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, the school must calculate the amount of Title IV funds the student did not earn and those funds must be returned. Up through the 60% point in each payment period or period of enrollment, a pro rata schedule is used to determine how much Title IV funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the payment period or period of enrollment, a student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds. The percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed is determined by the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed is the total number of calendar days* in the payment period or period of enrollment for which the assistance is awarded divided into the number of calendar days* completed in that period as of the day the student withdrew. *Scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days are excluded from the total number of calendar days in a payment period or period of enrollment (denominator) and the number of calendar days completed in that period (numerator). Days in which a student was on an approved leave of absence are also not included in the calendar days for the payment period or period of enrollment. The day the student withdrew is counted as a completed day.
