There are many shortcomings inherent in the current system. In the most extreme case, students canceled for nonpayment may hold a full class schedule until the end of the reinstatement period. The seats held by these students were, therefore, not available for paying students. The wait list would be continually processed so that empty seats are accessible in the registration process to wait-listed students as soon as seats become available. The new payment deadline will be moved to before the first day of the term.
Fees are due by the fifth day of the term, unless the student is granted a payment deferment.
Finance and Accounting may allow students to pay by an installment plan if the student can document an extraordinary circumstance. Fees not paid by the fifth day of the term result in cancellation of a student's registration. Students may petition during a three week period to have their course schedule reinstated. Payments can only be made on campuses or via mail. Credit card payments are prohibited by Florida statute.
