Facilities and Equipment Fees

Florida State University assesses fees in five areas where equipment is provided, used, and returned to the University. The use of this equipment is essential to the core of the curriculum in each area below. Students elect to use this equipment.

Payments can be made at Student Financial Service, A1500 University Center. Payment is due concurrent with tuition and fees for each term. Waivers for the Facilities and Equipment Fee may be granted by a committee appointed by the Dean of the appropriate college. Full or partial refunds may be granted pursuant to the University's tuition and refund policy.

A "stop" will be placed on the registration of all students who have not paid the fee or have been granted a waiver. In such case, students will not be able to register for classes, receive transcripts, or receive a diploma. 

Fees will be placed in an auxiliary account for the purchase, repair, and maintenance of the equipment. Students will be responsible for the damage or loss of equipment. The college will assess the student for damage and loss charges and will submit the charges to Student Financial Services for collection.

The five areas are listed below:

Film

Effective Fall semester 2007, the Film School's equipment and facilities fee of $175.00 per student, per semester, will be assessed at the beginning of each semester in which a student engages in production or post-production.

Medicine

Students in the College of Medicine will be charged a fee of $250.00 per semester for the use of laptop computers, PDAs, software, and other shared resources. Equipment fees for the College of Medicine will not be charged for the Summer session.

Music

Students majoring in music will be charged an instrument/equipment use fee in the amount of $90.00 per semester.

Nursing

Students majoring in nursing will be charged an equipment fee in the amount of $10.00 per semester.

Underwater Crime Scene Investigation

Students enrolled in the certificate program in Underwater Crime Scene Investigation will be charged an equipment fee of $90.00 for each of the following lab courses:  CJE 3761L, 4762L, 4763L, 4764L, 4765L, 5766L, 5767L, 5768L and 5769L.

Fees for Cooperative Education

Students enrolled in a cooperative education course with zero (0) semester hours will be charged for one (1) semester hour of Florida Resident undergraduate work, unless also enrolled in other credit courses at The Florida State University during the same academic term.

Fees for Graduate Examinations

Students registering for zero (0) semester hours for master's comprehensive examination, master's thesis defense, or dissertation defense, will be charged for one (1) Florida Resident graduate semester hour, unless also enrolled in other credit courses at The Florida State University during the same academic term.

Fees for Graduate-level Zero (0) Semester Hour Courses

Students registered for zero (0) semester hour graduate level courses and additional courses will not be charged for the zero credit hour course. When registering for a zero credit hour course only, the student will be charged for one (1) Florida Resident tuition semester hour at the rate of the course level.

Health Insurance

Beginning Fall semester 2007 and continuing in all subsequent semesters, new, full-time students at Florida State University must show proof of adequate health insurance coverage before being permitted to register for classes. Additionally, all non-United States citizens in F or J status, regardless of their credit load, are required to show proof of appropriate health insurance as a condition of their admission to the University. 

To purchase the FSU-sponsored health insurance or to waive enrollment in the FSU sponsored plan:

 1. Go to the Health Center Web site at www.tshc.fsu.edu.

 2. Click the Mandatory Insurance Purchase/Waiver button. Doing so takes you to a tutorial that walks you through the health compliance steps for immunizations, the health history form, and health insurance. 

Purchase or waiver of purchase of school health insurance is all performed online at the Health Center Web site (www.tshc.fsu.edu). Students should review the comparables so they can answer waiver questions before they begin the waiver process. The waiver is an annual requirement that must be completed before registration for Fall classes.

 Students seeking degrees in majors where they are exposed to particular hazards associated with the major are required to carry health and accident insurance prior to registration every Fall. The Film School, College of Medicine, and College of Nursing have health insurance requirements for their students. Check with your department for any additional insurance requirements associated with your major.

Health Insurance Questions

Questions about basic health insurance coverage or purchasing school-sponsored health insurance can be addressed to Collegiate Risk Management, the University's insurance broker, at 800-922-3420 or 850-644-4250. Questions about specific benefits or authorizations for procedures should be addressed directly to The Chickering Group, the University's insurance carrier, at 888-834-4646. Billing questions for services rendered at the health center should be addressed to the billing office at 850-644-1640. Students who have other health insurance carriers should contact their specific carrier with questions about what their plan includes and excludes.
