Florida Prepaid

Because Florida Prepaid is not considered to be financial aid, Florida Prepaid is processed solely in the Office of Student Financial Services. If a student has Florida Prepaid, the account will be set up automatically provided that the social security number on the Florida Prepaid card matches the one used to enroll at FSU.

However, please be aware that many students have the standard Florida Prepaid tuition plan, not the Florida Prepaid plan which pays local fees. Students with the standard Florida Prepaid tuition plan are required to pay these local fees by the tuition payment deadline or will receive late fees and risk having their schedules cancelled. The breakdown of these local fees can be found here. In addition, please note that the Florida Prepaid plan which pays local fees does not pay the $6.50 per credit hour Transportation Access Fee. For more information please see our tuition rates or our Florida Prepaid Conversion Chart.

 

Sponsored Billing: Overview

If you are expecting a third party to pay your tuition and fees, you need to make special arrangements with us to bill this sponsor. We call this sponsored billing. Examples include:

1. A U.S. or foreign company
2. A prepaid college plan from another state.
3. A U.S. government department or agency (except the U.S. Department of Education)
4. A foreign embassy

Important Note:  You will be subject to schedule cancellation if you do not submit your sponsored billing paperwork on time.
