Childcare Assistance Program (CAP!)

CAP! is a support program for FIT students who are parents. It provides comprehensive assistance to student-parents as they pursue their degrees. Services include peer-support meetings, parenting discussions, subsidized childcare coverage for AAS students, assistance with purchasing textbooks and supplies, and opportunities to connect with other student-parents at the college. CAP! does not provide onsite childcare accommodation, but it does offer numerous resources to keep FIT's student-parents inspired and supported, both academically and personally.  

VETERANS AND SELECTIVE SERVICE

FIT has been accorded recognition as a school of higher learning by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Prospective students should obtain their VA papers as far in advance of registration as possible. Those seeking readmission to the college from the armed forces who have been admitted to the college for date of entry prior to formal separation should notify the Admissions Office immediately following receipt of acceptance to facilitate the processing of early separation procedures.

In accordance with Title 38 U.S. Code 3679 subsection (e), FIT adopts the following additional provisions for any students using the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® or Veteran Readiness and Employment benefits; while payment to FIT is pending from the VA, FIT will not: (1) prevent nor delay the student’s enrollment; (2) assess a late penalty fee to the student; (3) require the student to secure alternative or additional funding; or (4) deny the student access to any resources available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to FIT, including, but not limited to, access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities.
