Microsoft Outage

There is encouraging progress in the restoration of Microsoft services following yesterday's widespread disruption. Some systems are working again, and access to services such as Outlook and Teams is improving. However, recovery is still underway, and users may continue to experience intermittent issues, delayed emails, or limited functionality in certain applications. Microsoft is actively working toward full restoration, but a timeline has not yet been announced. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

What is the cost of a college degree?

Of course, the answer will be as unique as your choices of school, degree, certificate, program, and courses. To start, you should know that Florida residents can earn an associate degree for as little as $6,600-- about half the cost of a state university (tuition & fees only).* Discuss your specific situation with the Financial Aid team, and they will assist you in calculating a range of what you can expect to pay over time while pursuing your credentials.

*Average costs for in-state tuition, 2024 – 2025.
