College of Central Florida

What is the cost of studying for a year at College of Central Florida?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $2,710 for Florida residents and $11,241 for nonresidents. These totals combine the tuition and required-fee figures reported for each residency category; they are not a complete annual living-expense budget.

• Florida resident: $1,987 tuition plus $723 required fees.
• Nonresident: $7,947 tuition plus $2,570 required fees.
• Books and supplies: a reported planning figure of $1,700, which can vary by courses.

Students also need to budget for transportation, food, housing and personal expenses. A reported room-and-board planning figure of $11,565 should not be mistaken for a CF residence-hall charge: the college does not operate undergraduate housing. The actual cost of attendance used for financial aid is a broader budget and may differ by enrollment status and living arrangement.

What a student ultimately pays also depends on aid. For example, the reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $11,635; for the $48,001-$75,000 bracket, it was $14,020. Net price is an average cost after grant aid for the applicable reporting group, not a tuition quote or an individual award. CF reported that 84% of students received financial aid and 18% had student loans. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Florida aid, institutional scholarships and military education benefits through the financial aid process. Comparing a personal aid offer with a realistic commuting and living budget is more useful than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at College of Central Florida?

College of Central Florida students can seek part-time work alongside their studies, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary campus job and an internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through eligible employment; it is not a grant paid automatically to everyone who qualifies for aid.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the financial aid application process and ask CF's financial aid office about eligibility, available positions and hiring steps. Other campus or local jobs may have their own application processes and do not necessarily require Work-Study eligibility. For career-related opportunities, CF's career services include individual planning, résumé preparation, interview support, job-search resources and employer events. Those services can help students look for work, but they do not establish that a particular student will receive a job offer or that every program requires an internship.
