Fees and Refunds

College fees and tuition assessments are based on the applicant’s residence. Fees may be paid by cash, check, money order or credit card and must be paid on or before the dates indicated on the student’s schedule, which is 10 business days from the date of registration. Exceptions include special courses with registration and payment dates to be established by the Director of Admissions and Records, veteran fee deferments and Florida National Guard fee waivers.

Students who have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or are eligible for Bright Futures may have their tuition and fees deferred at the time of registration however, if financial aid is denied or the award does not cover a student’s financial obligation, the student will be responsible for payment of the outstanding obligation. All debts incurred due to denial or insufficient coverage must be satisfied no later than 60 days after the start of the term.

Student financial responsibilities include library fines and book replacement costs, traffic fines, returned checks, student loan repayment, and return of borrowed college equipment. Unless all fees and other financial responsibilities have been satisfied, a student may not register for a subsequent term, official transcripts of the student’s record will not be made, and, in some cases, the student may be prohibited from attending classes in the current term.

The student fees listed on these pages are in effect as of Spring 2008. They are subject to change by action of the Florida Legislature and the college District Board of Trustees. Each term the college will have available, prior to registration a listing of current student fees.

Returned checks must be paid within seven (7) days from receipt of the notice. The full amount of the returned check plus a service charge of $20.00 or an amount up to five percent of the face amount of the check, whichever is greater, will be due.
If the returned check is not paid within the time specified, it will be given to the State Attorney’s office for collection.
