EVENTS/ACTIVITIES:
Are the member activities and events mandatory?
Not all activities are mandatory, but we hope you will attend as many as you can.
Just as you would in a public or private school, events are intended to promote connection and fun with others. You'll graduate with people you know, not strangers.

Events are scheduled monthly from September through May each year. Extra events are added throughout the year with as much notice as possible. See Event calendar

Are planned events/activities an extra cost?
There is no cost to attend any mandatory events/activities. Other activities may
cost extra, but we try to keep out-of-pocket costs very low by taking advantage of group prices and special deals.

Can I bring a friend or date to any of the events?
Except for homecoming and prom, all activities and events are for members only unless otherwise posted.

Does CAP IT Tampa give me a diploma?
We will ONLY provide a keepsake diploma, as CAP IT Tampa is NOT a certified school with the state of Florida and has no power to officially grant a diploma of graduation. It is the responsibility of the student's parents or umbrella school to determine eligibility for graduation and to certify the high school education. Your keepsake diploma will look like this: Resources

Tickets are not necessary, and you may invite as many as you'd like. We will ask for a general headcount from each family in early spring. 

Am I responsible for buying a cap and gown? YES!

Show your personality and preferences with your cap, gown, tassel, and cords/stoles. You can also decorate your cap if you'd like to. For helpful links: Resources
