Miami-Dade County Public School FT-1 Forms

Attention Barry University's students currently employed by the Miami-Dade County Public School system: "FT-1 forms" are required by the County for each semester you wish to be reimbursed for your tuition charges. This official documentation (of enrollment and full payment of your tuition only) is obtainable through Student Accounts.

Otherwise, the request will be voided. Be aware that these forms are processed in the order in which the request was submitted to us.
