Deferments

Veteran Deferments

Qualified veterans seeking deferment from Registrar’s Office Veteran Services must visit the office at MH 161 and obtain approval to extend the payment deadline.

Payment dates are listed in the Academic Calendar in this Web Enrollment Guide. Students eligible for financial aid adequate to cover all tuition and fees are not eligible for VA deferments.

Third Party Payments

Students who have authorization or a letter of intent from an approved third party source (e.g., a company, embassy, state or government agency) must bring such documentation with the "Fee Invoice" to the Student Accounts Office by the fee payment deadline. Employer tuition plans that reimburse the employee do not qualify. The third party source must agree to pay the tuition upon receiving an invoice.

Florida Prepaid College Plan

For any enrolled student who has a Florida Prepaid College Plan, the University automatically will defer only the portion of the tuition covered under the plan. All fees not covered by the plan are due by the fee payment deadline. If the student does not wish to utilize the Prepaid Tuition Plan, the student must notify the Student Accounts Office (MH 107) by the last day of Add/Drop.

The standard plan will pay $90.89 per credit hour (graduate or undergraduate level) for the 2008-2009 academic year. The plan does not cover the local fees of $38.37 per credit hour, the health fee, material/supply fees, or the UCF ID Service and Access fee, or the Distance Learning Course Fee. The local fee plan, which is indicated on the Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan card, will cover $121.67 per credit hour and the health fee.

Financial Aid Automatic Deferments

The Fee Invoice reflects the dollar amount of the student’s deferment. If the total amount of tuition and fees exceeds the amount of the deferment, the difference must be paid by the due date noted on the student’s Fee Invoice. Different programs require varying hours of enrollment for eligibility. Students must be sure they are registered for the required number of hours.

Deferments are available to students who have completed the application process prior to the payment deadline.

The following programs are not included in the Automatic Deferral Program: work/study programs, third party deferrals and other waivers and direct-pay scholarships.

Automatic deferral does not relieve the student of fee liability. Simply ceasing to attend class meetings will not cancel the student’s debt to the University. Students must utilize the Add/Drop or Withdrawal process or be held responsible for the payment of the original fee assessment.

Students who had a Financial Aid deferment, but lost it through verification, cancellation or other reasons, still are responsible for paying their fees.

Not attending classes or withdrawing after Add/Drop does not eliminate the requirement to pay fees.

Dual-enrolled hours (transient hours) taken at another institution are not considered for automatic deferral purposes.
