Florida Prepaid College Plan

• College of Coastal Georgia accepts your Florida Prepaid College Plan; however, the owner of the account is responsible for initiating the payment and making sure Florida Prepaid knows where they are attending school. This will allow you to receive Florida Prepaid College Plan credit prior to the fee payment deadline, which reduces your out-of-pocket cost. The amount the Florida Prepaid College Plan covers depends on the plan a parent/student has. 
  • Restricted Plan: Pays a specific dollar amount per credit hour and any balance due is paid by the parent/student if no financial aid award is present.
  • Unrestricted Plan: Covers all tuition and fees up to the total plan value. Any remaining balance due is paid by the parent/student if no financial aid award is present. Keep in mind this option will deplete your Florida Prepaid account at a much faster rate.
• For any inquiries regarding this process, please contact the Bursar’s Office at 912-279-5746 or bursarsoffice@ccga.edu.

As of the first day of classes for the term, a nonresident student can be considered for this waiver under the following conditions:

• If the parent or U.S. court-appointed legal guardian of a dependent has maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months and the student can provide clear and legal evidence showing the relationship to the parent or U.S. court-appointed legal guardian has existed for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term (legal guardianship must be established prior to the student’s 18th birthday).
• If the student can provide clear and legal evidence showing relations to the spouse and the spouse has maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term.

If a student or his or her parent/legal guardian or spouse relocated to the state of Georgia during the 12 months prior to the beginning of classes in order to accept full-time, self-sustaining employment, and has established domicile in the state of Georgia, they may qualify for a temporary waiver of out-of-state tuition while establishing residency. A student who is given this waiver will still need to complete the full residency petition in order to be permanently re-classified as a Georgia resident after the 12-month timeline has passed.

Both of these forms,  the Economic Advantage temporary waiver form and the Petition for In-State Tuition form for those who have already established residency for at least one year, are available by visiting the “Student Forms” tab located in the MyCCGA portal and navigating to the “pre-Enrollment” folder.
