2-Year Florida College Plan	4-Year Florida College Plan	2 + 2 Florida Plan
The 2-Year Florida College Plan prepays tuition, registration fees and local fees for 60 lower division semester credit hours at any of the 28 Florida Colleges (formerly known as community colleges), so students can earn an associate’s degree or learn a trade in a short amount of time. This plan allows beneficiaries to quickly plug themselves into a profession and launch their careers.	Florida's 28 community colleges are expanding to reflect a broader mission and are now known as Florida Colleges. Institutions in the Florida College System offer workforce related bachelor degrees in areas such as teaching and nursing. To support this trend, the Florida Prepaid College Board is now offering the 4-Year Florida College Plan. The 4-Year Florida College Plan prepays tuition, registration fees and local fees for 60 lower division semester credit hours as well as 60 upper division semester credit hours at a Florida College.	To help manage costs, many students start their education with two years at a Florida College (formerly known as a community college), before finishing at a state university in Florida. The 2 + 2 Florida Plan prepays tuition, registration fees and local fees for 60 lower division semester hours at a Florida College and tuition, registration fees, the tuition differential fee and local fees for 60 semester credit hours at a state university.

4-Year Florida University Plan	University Dormitory Plan	Florida College Investment Plan
There are 11 state universities located throughout Florida. The 4-Year Florida University Plan prepays tuition, registration fees, the tuition differential fee and local fees for 120 undergraduate semester credit hours at a state university in Florida.	Living in a college dormitory can be a major expense. But it can also be a major advantage for students as they’re close to their peers, study groups, classes and other sources of learning enhancement. The Dormitory Plan addresses these costs by covering the payment for a standard, double-occupancy, air-conditioned dormitory room at a Florida state university. The Dormitory Plan may be purchased in one-year increments for up to two years (with a 2 + 2 Florida Plan) and up to four years (with a 4-Year Florida University Plan) and is offered only for a child in the eleventh grade or below. You may purchase a Dormitory Plan along with a corresponding Prepaid Plan as noted above or supplement an existing Prepaid Plan at a later date.	By saving with the Florida College Investment Plan§, you can help ensure your child gets a chance to go to college. With its tax benefits, range of investment options and flexibility, the Florida College Investment Plan is a smart way to save for college. You may enroll in the Florida College Investment Plan at any time. After your initial contribution, you decide how much and how often to contribute additional savings, which allows you to save at a pace that fits your family’s budget. And if you already own a Florida Prepaid College Plan, adding an Investment Plan is the best way to cover the total cost of going to college.

 

§ Florida Prepaid College Plans offers two different plans: the Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida College Investment Plan. The Florida Prepaid College Plan is a prepaid plan and is guaranteed by the State of Florida pursuant to s. 1009.98(7), Florida Statutes. Florida’s state universities and state colleges may impose fees not covered by the Prepaid Plans described above. The Florida College Investment Plan is a college savings plan, is not guaranteed, principal and investment returns will fluctuate, and you could lose all or a portion of your investment.
