Undergraduate Student Guidelines
There is no limit on the overall number of online courses a campus student may complete while attending Florida Tech.
A technology fee of $75 per class fee will be charged at the time of registration.
Students are eligible for courses during the summer 1 and summer 2 terms based on advisor approval. No additional approvals are required. Students pay the current online tuition rate for summer courses only.
Online courses are included in the credit hour limit for summer registration, probationary and conditionally readmitted students.
Fall and Spring registration requires approval from the student's advisor and the dean’s designee on the appropriate form.
Fall and Spring courses are part of flat-rate tuition. The $75 technology fee still applies.
International students on a visa are restricted to only one online class per semester as part of their full load course requirement.
Sponsored students are required to provide financial approval specifically for an online course.
The following justifications should be approved by the academic unit when considering online course requests for Fall and Spring semesters:
The course is required for graduation within the current academic year
Courses are not available on campus and determined to be academically appropriate by the advisor
An internship or co-op requires the student to be off campus
Medical needs require the completion of online course(s)
ROTC students that need to stay on a 4-year track
Additional justifications may be considered only in extreme situations when no other solution can be found by the advisor and/or dean's designee, and the student will be greatly harmed
