Programs of Strategic Emphasis Waiver

The Programs of Strategic Emphasis Waiver, also known as the BOGO Waiver, applies a 50% discount to all eligible classes for students enrolled in specific programs. The Florida Board of Governors created the waiver to incentivize enrollment in certain undergraduate STEM majors or other strategic programs intended to fill critical gaps in Florida's workforce.

To qualify for the Programs of Strategic Emphasis Waiver, students must meet certain eligibility criteria, including:

• Classified as a Florida resident for tuition purposes.
• Working toward first bachelor鈥檚 degree.
• Earned at least 60 semester credit hours toward a baccalaureate degree within 2 academic years after initial enrollment at a Florida public post-secondary institution.
  • Initial enrollment is defined as the first registration in a public post-secondary institution after earning a high school diploma.
  • The 60 credit hours must be earned/granted at a Florida public post-secondary institution.
  • Dual enrollment from high school credits earned at a Florida public post-secondary institution count towards the 60-credit requirement if the student begins initial enrollment at a Florida public post-secondary institution.
• Accepted and enrolled in a qualified program as the student's primary major.

Only certain students and classes are eligible for the waiver, including:

• Only upper division classes (3000-4000 level) required to complete the academic program are eligible.

• Courses may be taken in the fall, spring or summer terms.

• The waiver will only cover up to 110% of the number of required credit hours for the program.

  • We determine this figure based on the number of credit hours required at the time that a student is admitted to the major, regardless of whether the number of hours required increases or decreases at a later point in time.
  • Accelerated credits used to meet degree requirements count towards this 110% limitation.
• If a student鈥檚 registration puts their total program hours over 110% of the required hours, all eligible courses may not be covered by the waiver.
  • For example:
    • You need 132 hours to meet your degree requirements (as determined by 木瓜视频), so the waiver will cover up to 145 hours.
    • If you have earned 140 credit hours so far and you register for 8 upper-level credit hours, you have 148 total program hours.
    • The waiver will only cover 3 of the 8 hours, even if all of the courses are otherwise eligible.
  • If your term is only partially covered, this is your last term of waiver eligibility.
• The waiver will be applied to all eligible courses/hours for that semester. Students will not be allowed to save up waiver hours for use in future terms.
• The waiver cannot be applied retroactively to prior terms.
• Courses classified as self-funded, or market rate are not eligible.
• The waiver will not be applied if a student鈥檚 tuition and fees are being covered/waived by any other statutory waiver (e.g., DCF, Homeless).
