CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Childcare Assistance Program (CAP) is designed to assist students with primary parenting responsibilities, helping them manage and integrate the demands of being both student and parent. CAP provides a variety of services, including childcare subsidies, family activities, individual academic and personal counseling, parenting resources, textbook subsidies, weekly peer support group meetings, and an overnight, weekend-long, career-focused retreat.
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 Vocational Rehabilitation 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.
