EXPENSES In collecting fees, the university may impose additional requirements as deemed appropriate, including advance payment or security deposit for the services to be provided by the University of Florida. Payments on all financial .obligations to the university will be applied on the basis of age of the debt. The oldest debt will be paid first. Deadlines-Students are reminded that deadlines are strictly enforced. The university does not have the authority to waive late fees unless it has been determined that the university is primarily responsible for the delinquency or that extraordinary circum- stances warrant such waiver. Cancellation and Reinstatement-The university shall cancel the registration of any student who has not paid any portion of his/her fee liability by the published deadlines. Reinstatement shall require the approval of the university and payment of all delinquent lia- bilities including the $50 late registration and $50 late payment fees. A student whose registra- tion has been cancelled must request reinstate- ment. In the event a student has not paid the entire balance of his/her fee liability by the published deadlines, the university shall temporarily sus- pend further academic progress of the student. This will be accomplished by flagging the stu- dent's record which will prevent the student from receiving grades, transcripts or a diploma, and registration will be denied for future terms until the account has been settled in full. Deferral of Registration and Tuition Fees-A fee deferment allows students to pay fees after the fee payment deadline without being subject to either cancellation of registration for nonpayment of fees prior to the established deadline, or the late payment fee. The university may award fee deferments to students in the following circumstances: Students whose state or federal financial assistance is delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. Students receiving veterans educational assistance benefits. Students for whom formal arrangements have been made with the university for pay- ment by an acceptable third-party donor. This deferment covers tuition fee payments only and must be established by the fee pay- ment deadline. Fee deferments are granted based on information from the Office for Stu- dent Financial Affairs (financial aid deferments) or the Office of the University Registrar (veter- ans). Questions on eligibility for a fee deferment should be referred to the appropriate office. Waiver of Fees-The university may waive fees as follows: Participants in sponsored institutes and programs where substantially all direct costs are paid by the sponsoring agent may have all fees waived. Any dependent child of a special risk mem- ber killed in the line of duty is entitled to a full waiver of undergraduate fees as provid- ed in Section 240.235(3), Fees, Florida Statutes. State employees who have been employed on a permanent, full-time basis for at least six months may be permitted to waive fees up to a maximum of six credit hours per term on a space-available basis only. Intern supervisors for institutions within the State University System may be given one nontransferrable certificate (fee waiver) for each full academic term during which the person serves as an intern supervisor. All fees are waived. Florida public high school students who earn credit in courses toward a high school diploma and baccalaureate degree as pro- vided by dual credit enrollment or early admission, Florida Statutes are entitled to a full waiver of undergraduate fees. Books and instructional materials may be provided on a lend-return basis if all requirements are met. Persons 60 years of age or older are entitled to a waiver of fees for audited courses (up to 6 credit hours), as provided by Section 240.235(4), Florida Statutes. The non-Florida student financial aid fee may not be waived for students receiving an out-of-state fee waiver. Refund of Fees Tuition fees will be refunded in full in the circumstances noted below: If notice of withdrawal from the university is approved prior to the end of the drop/add period and written documentation is received from the student. Credit hours dropped during the drop/ add period. Courses cancelled by the university. Involuntary call to active military duty. Death of the student or member of his/her immediate family (parent, spouse, child, sib- ling). Illness of the student of such severity or duration, as confirmed in writing by a physi- cian, that completion of the semester is pre- cluded. Exceptional circumstances, upon approval of the university president or his designee(s). A refund of 25% of the total fees paid (less building, capital improvement and late fees) is available if written notice of withdrawal of enrollment from the university is approved prior to the end of the fourth week of classes for full semesters or a proportionately shorter peri- od of time for shorter terms, and written docu- mentation is received from the student. First-time students at the University of Flori- da are eligible to receive a pro-rata refund of all tuition and fees, including housing charges, for up to 60% of their first term. An administra- tive fee of 5% or $100 (whichever is lower) will be assessed upon the amount of the total charges assessed to the student. The administra- tive fee will be deducted from the amount to be refunded. Refunds must be requested at University Financial Services. Proper documentation must be presented when a refund is requested. A waiting period for processing may be required. Refunds will be applied against any university debts. Other General Fiscal Information Students should bring sufficient funds, other than personal checks, to meet their immediate needs. Personal checks will be accepted at Uni- versity Financial Services for the exact amount of fees and/or other amounts owed the Univer- sity. Payments on all financial obligations to the University will be applied on the basis of age of the debt. The oldest debt will be paid first. Uni- versity Financial Services does not cash checks or make cash refunds. Checks written in excess of assessed fees or other amounts paid the Uni- versity will be accepted and processed, but the excess will be refunded to the student at a later date, according to university policy. Cashing of Checks-Students may cash checks at the Reitz Union and the University of Florida Bookstore. There are separate check cashing policies for each area. Generally students must have a University of Florida photo ID. Students who have three or more returned checks forfeit the privilege of cashing checks on campus and jeopardize their ability to receive certain types of financial aid. Picture I.D.-A current valid official University of Florida I.D. card must be presented in order to transact business at the Office of University Financial Services, to cash checks at the Reitz Union and University Bookstores, to pick up tickets for athletic events, for Gator dining accounts, to use the CIRCA computer labs, to use university libraries, and to use all recreational facilities. The official I.D. card can be obtained at the ID Card Services building behind the HUB. A driver's license, social security card, and $5.00 are required. Call 392-UFID for more information. Local Address-It is the responsibility of the student to be sure that a correct local address is on file with Office of the University Registrar at all times. Change of address forms may be obtained from 222 Criser Hall.. Past Due Student Accounts-All students' accounts are due and payable at University Financial Services, at the time such charges are incurred. University regulations prohibit registration, graduation, granting of credit, release of tran- script or diploma for any student whose account with the university is delinquent. Delin- quent accounts, which include those debts for which the students' records are flagged, may require payment by cash, cashier's check, or money order.
