Financial Regulations

Registration - Students must be prepared to make full payment of fees, including room and board, for each semester. No student will be permitted to register until all unpaid University accounts and fees have been satisfied. This includes delinquent short term loans, traffic and library fines, clinic charges, and other obligations to the University.

All checks tendered for fee payment which are returned unpaid by the bank may cause the student’s registration to be canceled. However, the student remains liable and must make prompt restitution for the face amount of the check plus a service charge of $10 or 5% of the face amount, whichever is greater. Subsequent personal checks from the maker of the check will not be accepted by the University.

Failure to pay for these fees, unless the student has an approved deferment, will result in the cancellation of the student’s registration/prohibit release of transcripts and diploma.

A returned check fee, pursuant to Section 832.07, Florida Statutes, as now or hereafter amended, will be assessed for checks returned to the University. If a student issues the check, the student’s ability to register for classes and receive transcripts will be suspended until the account has been paid in full.

Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships

The role of the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Office (SFAO) is to provide assistance to students and parents by identifying resources to be used to help offset educational costs. Financial aid funds are awarded primarily on the basis of a student’s demonstrated financial need without regard to race, color, sex, national origin or disability. Through a comprehensive financial aid program, administered and coordinated by the SFAO, the University seeks to assist all students who demonstrate financial need. While the full need of all applicants cannot be met, every effort will be made to assist students in locating resources.

Financial aid awards may include loans, grants, scholarships, or part-time employment and may be offered singularly or in various combinations. When a student applies, a good rule to follow is to apply at least six (6) months prior to the term of expected enrollment.
