Tuition Deferment

The university may award tuition deferments to students receiving VA Educational Benefits. A tuition deferment allows students to pay their tuition after the standard fee payment deadline, without being subject to cancellation of registration or a late payment fee. Tuition deferments are for tuition only. Tuition deferments can be applied prior to the standard fee payment deadline of the term in which a student has submitted a UF Enrollment Certification Request.

How to Apply for a Tuition Deferment

Submission of a UF Enrollment Certification Request for a term, prior to the standard fee-payment deadline in that term, will qualify a student for a tuition deferment in that term.

  • Tuition cannot be deferred if you have a balance for a previous term.
  • It is important that you review your tuition status each semester on ONE.UF.
  • Students enrolled in specialized programs in which fees are paid directly to the department (e.g., Distance Learning, Doctor of Audiology, Professional MBA, Working Doctor of Pharmacy, etc.) need to contact the office to which payments are made to determine fee deferment eligibility and procedures.
  • A $100 late payment fee will be assessed if tuition and fees are not paid by the deferred payment deadline.
  • Students living in university residence halls may be able to defer housing fees as well. Contact the Housing Office for more details.
