If a teacher has been issued a Florida Certificate of Participation form, they do not need to wait until drop/add to register for courses; this is a different program from the State Employee Tuition Waiver. This program may be referred to different ways. Some (typically teachers) refer to it as the Florida Certificate Participation Program, but UWF Auxiliary Services (Bldg. 20, Rm 151), who oversees the program at UWF, refers to it as the Intern Participation Program. They can register by their student status according to the dates in the Academic Calendar. Only matriculation fees are covered under the certificate. The student is liable for any outstanding fees by the fee payment deadline. Once the student's account is coded by the Cashier's Office, the remaining balance can be viewed and paid through MyUWF. Questions about this program should be referred to UWF Auxiliary Services at 850-474-3012. Registration issues may be addressed to the Office of the Registrar. |

If the student has two (2) classes that have different start dates, the student must register for the respective time for each course, while submitting the form each time registration is completed. Example: a student has a class that starts on January 7th and another class that starts on March 4th. This student must register for the class that starts on January 7th during the course's first week of classes (drop/add period is January 7th - January 13th) and submit the form. Then, the student registers for the other course that starts on March 4th during the course's first week of classes (drop/add period is March 4th - March 10th) and submits the form again during this time. |
| Info |

If the student makes a change to their schedule (i.e. adding another course), they MUST resubmit the State Waiver form. If the new course is in the previously submitted form, the student may resubmit the same form; if the new course is not mentioned in the previously submitted state waiver form, the student may submit an updated state waiver form. Example 1: a student registers for a course on time and submits the state waiver form on time. While still in the drop/add week, the student decides to change the course. The student registers for another class and drops the previously registered course. The student MUST resubmit a State Waiver form to the Registrar's Office indicating that there has been a change in schedule. This will alert the Controller's Office to add the Fee Waiver to the newly added course. Example 2: a student registers for two (2) courses on time and submits the state waiver form on time. The student decides thinks that the workload is too much, then they decide to drop one of the courses. The student does not have to notify the Registrar's Office of the Controller's Office or the drop. Example 3: a student is registered for two (2) courses and has the State Employee Tuition Fee Waiver applied for six (6) credit hours. If the student decides to withdraw one of the classes, the student won't be tuition and fee liable for the withdrawal; although, the Controller's office will still count the State Employee Waiver towards the withdrawn course. |
