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.

How many member activities will there be?
Events are scheduled monthly from August 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
