Florida Prepaid College Program
UNF Student Financial Services Office Policy
The University of North Florida will automatically post a deferment on the student's account a few days after registration for the lesser of: the number of registered hours or number of remaining Florida Prepaid hours. The deferment will show on myWings as part of the credit balance under 'My Bill.' If you do not see the amount listed, it could be due to a wrong social security number (either in our system or Florida Prepaid system) or your account is on hold with Florida Prepaid. Any student that is using Florida Prepaid to pay their tuition and fees is required to pay the balance that Florida Prepaid does not cover by the payment deadline, unless the student has other aid/awards to cover the balance due.
Please note if you make changes in your registration, the amount that Florida Prepaid will cover will not immediately adjust; this requires an overnight process.
NOTE: The Florida Prepaid process is automatic; you do not need to invoice Florida Prepaid directly. Students must have all required information in our office no later than the published Reinstatement deadline for the University to bill Florida Prepaid for the term.
If you have the Florida Prepaid tuition plan, it will pay $117.08 per credit hour for the
Students receiving Take Stock in Children Florida Prepaid scholarships receive the equivalent of the tuition plan.
Some contracts cover local fees as well and this will be stated on the prepaid card. The local fees include athletic fee, activity fees, student health fees, counseling fee, wellness center fee and student union fee. Your assessment for local fees is $43.69 per credit hour for fall 2022 - summer 2023; if you have a tuition and a local fee plan then Prepaid will pay $160.77/credit hour.
If you purchased a tuition only plan and a tuition differential plan, Prepaid will pay $154.71/credit hour. If you purchased a tuition only plan, a local fee plan and a tuition differential plan, then Prepaid will pay $198.40/credit hour.
Florida Prepaid does not cover any lab fees, late fees, ID card fee, orientation, transportation access fee ($4.08 per hour), technology fee ($5.25 per hour), the student life and services fee ($5.25 per hour), distance learning fee ($30 per hour),etc.
Local fees, if owed, will be deducted from any financial aid money if the fees have not already been paid. These fees are subject to change.

If you have the 2 + 2 plan, the University of North Florida will bill Florida Prepaid at the university level and you will run out of hours faster.
If you wish the University of North Florida to NOT bill Florida Prepaid for a particular semester or bill for less hours than the number for which you are registered, you will need to complete the form online under Online Student Forms (enter 0 for the number of hours if you wish to opt-out completely) no later than the end of the first week of classes so we can process your request. Your Florida Prepaid deferment will be removed from our system and we will not bill Florida Prepaid for that term only.
