Our nextGRAD admissions team is available to guide you through the entire admissions process. Please click one of the degree levels below to get started.

Graduate

Step One: Complete the Supplemental Application for the semester you plan to start. Please be sure to fill out the application completely and upload all required documents so our nextGRAD admissions team can assist you as effectively as possible.

Step Two: Once you have received preliminary acceptance into the program, you will receive the next steps from your Admissions Coordinator.

Undergraduate

Step One: Complete the Supplemental Application for the semester you plan to start. Please be sure to fill out the application completely so our nextGRAD admissions team can assist you as effectively as possible.

Step Two: Once your completed application has been received, your Admissions Coordinator will reach out to you with next steps.

For both undergraduate students and graduate students, the passing grade to have your tuition and course materials covered by JMFE and approved by Edcor is a “C.”

For Graduate students: A cumulative 3.0 GPA average must be maintained on all degree requirements. This is the minimum requirement necessary for a graduate degree at Florida Atlantic University.

A wonderful benefit of the nextGRAD Program is that you will not be required to pay for your tuition or course materials at the start of each semester. JMFE will cover these costs in full as long as you have passed your courses and complete the process below for every semester. Your nextGRAD Advisor will thoroughly review this process and important deadlines with you upon admission to your chosen degree or certificate program.

Before classes begin:

1. Submit a completed registration form to your advisor
2. Submit your Edcor approval to your advisor

After classes end and your final grade has posted: You will receive two invoices to your FAU email address at the end of each term:

1. An itemized tuition invoice (including final grades)
2. A course materials invoice.

You will submit both of these items to Edcor.

JMFE is notified of your passing grades after you have submitted your itemized tuition and course materials invoices to Edcor at the end of each semester. Edcor will provide you with confirmation that your submission has been accepted.

What if I have issues with my Edcor?
