Refund of Fees

Students who drop a course without fee liability after their tuition and fees are paid, due to documented extenuating circumstance or administrative error, may be eligible for a tuition refund. Any outstanding charges owed to the University will be deducted, and the balance will be issued as a refund. Refunds requested during the fiscal year close-out, during the last two weeks of June, will not be processed until the first week of July. The refund will be processed as a credit to the student’s bank account for currently enrolled students. However, payments made by credit card will be refunded to the credit card.

Students who withdraw after the fourth day of the semester/term, but prior to the end of the fourth week of the semester (or for Summer sessions, by the first twenty-five percent of the term) are eligible for a twenty-five percent refund of tuition and fees. After this period, students who withdraw are held fully liable for fees. Students who withdraw and have received federal financial aid (Title IV programs) or state aid may be required to repay to the aid source the amount of unearned financial-aid funds disbursed to them as of their withdrawal date as described in the section below on “Withdrawals and Return of Financial Aid.” In the case where a withdrawal petition is approved, a refund can be provided only if the refund withdrawal request is submitted within six months after the end of the semester in which the withdrawal occurred.

Note: The following fees are non-refundable: Web payment credit-card processing fees, admission deposit, admission application fee, FSUCard, and other fees as specified by certain schools or departments.

Financial Aid

Fees and Financial Aid Students

Financial Aid Payments & Refunds: At disbursement the University first applies financial aid payments towards tuition and housing charges (and toward other charges as allowed) before issuing refunds. Disbursement begins on the published disbursement dates and continues through the semester. For more information and upcoming dates, visit https://studentfinance.fsu.edu. To receive your aid, you must comply with Financial Aid terms and conditions located at https://financialaid.fsu.edu/terms-and-conditions. You must also confirm that your financial aid file is complete prior to disbursement by checking your status and clearing any holds or to-do list items at https://my.fsu.edu. Financial aid refunds are sent by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to any US-based bank account, so students must designate a refund bank account and enroll in direct deposit to receive a refund of excess Financial Aid or a refund of financial aid that cannot be applied to University charges. Additionally, the University must receive written permission to apply federal financial aid to charges other than tuition, dining, books, and housing. Federal aid cannot be applied to excess-hours fees. For instructions on how to provide that permission, or for direct deposit enrollment instructions, see http://studentfinance.fsu.edu/refunds/direct-deposit.

If you have any questions, please call the Office of Student Finance at (850) 644-9452. For financial aid questions, please contact (850) 644-0539.

Deadline: If the financial aid payment is not sufficient (or allowed) to cover all charges, or if a student’s schedule, university bill, or financial aid offer changes after application of financial aid, then the student is responsible for paying the balance by the tuition payment deadline, (see the “Academic Calendar” in this Registration Guide). After this date, a $100.00 late payment fee is assessed and grades will be held at the end of the semester until fees are paid in full.

Note: Financial Aid students who are having their tuition paid by an agency, department billing, or Florida Prepaid College Program should submit the required documents no later than the fifth day of the semester (see the “Academic Calendar” in this Registration Guide). The basic Florida Prepaid College Program does not pay the full amount of tuition owed to the University, nor do Intern Participation Certificates. Students must pay the remaining balance due by the posted payment due date.

Deferments: Financial aid deferments may be granted to students whose aid is not available by the published tuition deadline. Not having applied for financial aid is not a valid reason for applying for a deferment. The deadline to request a deferment is the tuition payment deadline. When deferments expire, students must pay their unpaid tuition balance in full or receive a late fee after the deadline. If tuition is not paid, students will not be able to register for future classes or receive a delayed delivery loan, grades, or transcripts. Students must confirm that their financial aid has arrived and that all requirements have been met by the deferment expiration date. Go to https://my.fsu.edu (from the myFSU Portal click Student Central, My Bill) you then will see your courses and fees detailed. With your temporary deferment, your total balance due may show “$zero” for the “Current Term Tuition.” When your financial aid arrives, the screen will show how much has been paid toward your tuition. You must ensure your financial aid pays your tuition by the deferment deadline, or you may be assessed a late payment fee of $100.00. You may check your financial aid status at http://www.my.fsu.edu. For questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@fsu.edu or (850) 644-0539.

Withdrawals and Return of Financial Aid

Per federal regulation (34 CFR 668.22), students who withdraw and have received financial aid will be required to repay to the program sources the amount of unearned financial aid funds disbursed to them as of their withdrawal date. The unearned amount of program funding is calculated based on the last date of academic activity which indicates the percentage of the semester completed.

Both the University and students receiving financial aid are required to return unearned financial aid to the aid source. Title IV aid programs are repaid in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Stafford/Direct Loans, Subsidized Federal Stafford/Direct Loans, Federal PLUS/Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, FSEOG Program Aid, and Teach Grants.

The University is required to return the unearned portion of the financial aid funds it received from withdrawing students that was used to pay institutional charges such as tuition, fees, housing, and other education-related expenses assessed by the institution. The funds returned to the aid source by the University will be credited against the students’ total liability of unearned funds. However, the student will owe the University the amount returned to the aid source for institutional charges. In addition, any student who receives Title IV funds who does not receive at least one passing grade (either a Satisfactory, or any grade above an “F”) for the semester in which they receive those funds and does not officially withdraw from the University prior to the end of that semester, is considered an unofficial withdrawal according to Title IV federal regulations. The University is required to return unearned financial aid to the federal government for all unofficial withdrawals in the same manner as students who withdraw officially.

Students who owe grant and/or loan overpayments remain eligible for Title IV program funds for forty-five days, if, during those forty-five days the student: 1) repays the overpayment in full to the University; 2) enters into a repayment agreement with the University; or 3) enters into a repayment agreement with the Department of Education. Entering into a repayment agreement does not mean the student is eligible to register for additional classes, receive a transcript, diploma, etc. Students can lose financial aid eligibility if they do not comply with the options above and should consider their repayment responsibilities for these programs as part of any withdrawal decision. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for the most current restrictions on eligibility.

Bright Futures Repayment Requirement

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the Bright Futures Academic Scholars and the Bright Futures Medallion Scholarship award amounts are set by the Florida Legislature and may be adjusted each legislative session. Currently, at Florida State, the Bright Futures Academic Scholars scholarship is awarded based on a rate of $213.55 per credit hour and the Bright Futures Medallion scholarship is awarded based on a rate of $160.16 per credit hour. In each instance, additional fees such as Lab fees, Auxiliary fees, Excess Hour fees, and Student Facility Use fees are not included.

Florida Statutes require that students who drop or withdraw from any course(s) repay any Florida Bright Futures Scholarship disbursed for the course(s). Section 1009.53, Florida Statutes states that funds for any scholarship within the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program may not be used to pay for courses dropped by a student or courses from which a student has withdrawn after the end of the drop and add period. However, a student who receives an award under this program and subsequently drops one or more courses or withdraws from all courses after the end of the drop and add period due to a verifiable illness or other documented emergency may be granted an exception pursuant to s. 1009.40(1)(b)4 unless the institution’s policy is to refund the cost of the courses.

Loan Exit Interviews

Federal and University regulations require that all recipients of federal loans participate in an exit interview counseling session upon graduation, withdrawal from the University, or dropping below six credit hours. These loans include: Subsidized Stafford (GSL), and Unsubsidized Stafford (UGSL) loans. Counseling sessions can be completed online at https://studentaid.gov. For more information, contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@fsu.edu or (850) 644-0539.

Policy on Refunds for Audited Courses

Refunds may be granted for courses in which a student has requested permission to audit and subsequently rescinds this request before the fourth day of class. Verification that the audit request has been discontinued must be received in writing by the University Registrar before the fourth day of class. After this period, no refunds will be authorized unless exceptional circumstances are documented in writing and approved by the University Refund Committee.

Note: The Refund Appeal Form must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar and requests to withdraw must be submitted to Withdrawal services within six months from the end of the term from which the student is withdrawing or appealing a refund.

Delinquent Accounts

Delinquent University accounts are subject to holds against class registration and diploma orders. Outstanding debt totaling $500.00 or more, including delinquent current semester tuition, will prevent class registration and access to diplomas until the delinquent balance is brought below $500.00. Payment should be made online via credit card, international wire, or e-check. Financial aid granted for use in an upcoming semester may not be used to pay current debt. Delinquent accounts are referred to a collection agency if fees are not paid in full, and collection costs are added to your outstanding balance.

Dishonored Checks or Electronic Payments

Return Check Charge/Stop Payment Charge: $25.00 or five percent of the amount of the check, whichever is greater (subject to change) will be assessed to the student’s account. A returned check/stop payment charge is assessed against a student’s account that has a check or electronic authorization for payment returned by the bank to Florida State University. Florida State University automatically submits all personal checks twice for payment if the check was returned once for non-sufficient or uncollected funds. This is an automated process and the second submission cannot be stopped; there is no charge, however, assessed by Florida State University for this second submission. Repayment of returned checks must be made with a credit card online, money order, or cashier’s check.

Returned check charges are assessed for all personal checks written and electronic payments authorized for tuition, fees, or any services provided by the University that are returned to Florida State University for non-sufficient funds, uncollected funds, closed accounts, stop payments, etc., placed on checks. In addition to the returned check charge, if the initial payment is for tuition and redemption of the returned check is not made prior to the tuition payment deadline, a $100.00 late payment fee is assessed to tuition. Florida State University places a hold on accepting any personal checks or electronic payment authorizations on the student’s account for ninety days after redemption for any services, tuition, or fees that are owed to the University if a personal check or electronic payment authorization is returned. If a second check or electronic payment is returned, or if a stop payment is placed on it, the student will be permanently listed on all departments’ ACCEPT CASH ONLY list and no personal checks or electronic payment will be accepted from anyone on the student’s account from that day forward.

Notification will be given to the student by mail to the address on the check or to the last maintained address in Florida State University’s records. After notification that a check has been returned, redemption (including the service charge) must be made within fifteen days. Florida State University forwards all returned payments to the State Attorney’s Office for redemption and prosecution after collection efforts are exhausted. After a returned payment is forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office, restitution of the check will not prevent prosecution. Reference Florida Statutes Title XLVI Chapter 832; Crimes - Violations Involving Checks and Drafts; 832.07.

Cancellation of Student Schedules for Non-Payment of Tuition and Fees

Students are expected to pay all tuition and fees by the published deadline each semester. In accordance with FSU Regulation-5.081 Tuition, Fees, Payment, students who do not pay tuition and fees or make arrangements to pay tuition and fees by the end of the established fee payment deadline may have their schedules cancelled and academic progress discontinued for the semester. Students whose schedules are cancelled for non-payment of tuition and fees will not receive grades after the cancellation takes place. For more information, please reference https://regulations.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/imported/storage/original/application/f63ce880bfa04fa18f1d2103e0fd4ec9.pdf.

It is important that all students ensure they have an active FSU e-mail account. The FSU e-mail account is the official method by which the University will communicate with students concerning any outstanding financial obligations, including outstanding tuition and fees. Students will receive an official e-mail communication from the Office of Student Finance at the end of the second week of the semester alerting them to the possibility of the cancellation of their current term’s schedule. Students can then pay tuition and fees or make arrangements to pay tuition and fees to avoid having their schedule cancelled.

Students who fail to pay tuition and fees or make formal arrangements to pay tuition and fees by the end of the third week of the semester will receive an e-mail notification from the Office of Student Finance. This notification will inform the student that his or her schedule has been cancelled and explain appeal process for the reinstatement of their schedule.

Students may check their account status online at any time at https://my.fsu.edu (from the myFSU Portal click Student Central, My Bill) to determine any amounts owed to the University and to verify that payments have been made.

Reinstatement of Student Schedules Cancelled for Non-Payment of Tuition and Fees

Students whose schedules are cancelled for non-payment may reinstate their schedule through immediate and full payment of all tuition and fees and any other delinquent balance owed to the University, plus a $100.00 late payment fee and $100.00 late registration fee. This payment to reinstate must be made prior to the final reinstatement deadline established by the University Registrar each term. Checks or credit card payments that are returned or refused will negate any tuition and fee payment arrangement for the reinstatement of a student’s schedule. The University reserves the right to deny reinstatement when a student has demonstrated a pattern of tuition delinquencies over a period of two or more semesters. Reinstatements for a given term must be submitted by the deadline. Reinstatement petitions received after the term is over will not be considered.
