Great news for parents and students at the College of Central Florida: There won’t be any tuition increase for the 2026-27 school year.
According to a news release issued by the school, “The CF District Board of Trustees approved the college’s annual budget on June 24, keeping tuition rates flat for all degree and certificate programs in support of the state’s priority on no tuition increases.”
CF President Jim Henningsen said in the news item that “three-quarters of College of Central Florida graduates leave the college with no student loan debt” and “keeping college affordable is a priority at CF, and our students graduate with jobs, not debt.”
College officials said the U.S. Department of Education ranks the institution “among the top 7% of colleges in the nation for affordability.”
CF officials said the cost for associate level courses is “$112.92 per credit hour, or approximately $2,710 per year for a student with a 12-credit course load for two semesters.”
For a bachelor’s course, the cost is “$129.27 per credit hour, or approximately $3,102.48 for a student with a 12-credit course load for two semesters.”
“CF’s tuition is about half the cost of a public Florida university and only 13% of the cost of a private Florida university,” college officials said.
