CPC Update

I think CRD can catch their breath next week! They've wrapped up Career Experience/Academy Presentation season (with just one more Academy Presentation left in January). Whew! Now they can take a moment to reset and prepare for January Extravaganzas!

We have lots of fun planned in CPC over the next week. Thanks to those who are already participating in the fun dress up days. We'll continue to take photos and will begin passing out prizes daily starting on Monday.

We also have Team Meeting and December Birthday Celebration next Wednesday - hot cocoa will be served at our team meeting to celebrate our two December birthdays! We also have an additional "team meeting" next Friday morning, along with a potluck planned for that day. Please sign up using the link below to help provide tasty treats for the department on that day.

The board approved a tuition increase for the 25-26 school year on Monday evening. Francis Tuttle has not seen a tuition increase since 2017 and generally sees one every 2-3 years. Tuition will raise to $3/credit hour for the 25-26 school year (all programs/majors that start after July 1st, 2025). This increase still puts us well below Metro Tech, Tulsa Tech, OSU-OKC and OCCC.

Marketing has already posted a notice to the FT Website in multiple locations. Additionally, Financial Aid will work to create new Cost of Attendance Sheets.

Tuition for the entire major is charged when a student enrolls. If they are continuing in the same major after July 1, the tuition does not change. However, if a student enrolls in Advanced Manufacturing - Mechatronics this year and then switches to Advanced Manufacturing – Instrumentation & Process Control in Sept, the new tuition rate would be in effect for Instrumentation & Process Control.

As you talk with prospective applicants who wish to start in August 2025, please be sure to communicate this new rate.

There are plans for a brief TEAMS Training to be held on Monday, January 6th. As details about this come out, I would like everyone to make plans to attend one of the sessions, if possible. With a new phone system coming, it will be important for everyone to be more familiar with TEAMS. There is also a Canvas Course with a TEAMS Training. If you are interested in this, please let me know and I can add you to the course.
