Tuition and Fee
The State of Florida and Miami-Dade County Public Schools policies permit enrollment in adult education programs to those individuals who have officially withdrawn from high school and have reached the age of 16 years old.
All students seeking enrollment in an Adult General Education (ABE, Citizenship, ESOL, and GED) or Career/Technical Education (Vocational/Technical) program are required to pay tuition as established by the Florida Legislature.
Students enrolling in a Career/Technical Education program who have lived in the State of Florida during the past twelve (12) consecutive months are considered “in-state” students and their tuition will be calculated at the “in-state” rate. Students not meeting are considered “out-of-state” students and their tuition will be calculated at the “out-of-state” rate.
A list of the approved documents for the verification of “in-state” status may be obtained at the link below.
