Apply for a tuition refund with this form. Refunds for Housing payments are made through the Housing Office, and refunds for meal plan payments are handled through the meal plan office.
University debts will always be deducted from any university refund source prior to disbursement to the student. Any amount paid in excess of the amount owed during the term may be applied against subsequent university charges incurred, or may be refunded upon request. Payments made by credit card will be refunded to the credit card account, otherwise the refund request will be processed as a credit to the student's Suntrust-FSUCard account or a check will be mailed per the student’s request on the refund request form.
Refunds requested for tuition fees are generally made within four weeks of application. This may take longer at the beginning of semesters, because refunds are not processed until the end of the third week of class to ensure that all schedules are settled. If payment was made for Summer Session A, B or F, the refund will not be processed until after the 5th day of Session C. In addition, refunds requested during the last two weeks of June will not be processed until July.
Full refunds of tuition fees may be granted in instances of withdrawal from the university under the following conditions: involuntary call to active military duty; death of the student or immediate family member (parent, spouse, child, sibling); illness of the student of such duration or severity, as confirmed in writing by a physician; cancellation of the course by the university; or exceptional circumstances that could not have been foreseen and were beyond the control of the student, as approved by the university refund committee.
Students who have not received federal financial aid and voluntarily withdraw after the fifth day of the semester and prior to the end of the fourth week of the semester are eligible for a twenty-five percent (25%) refund of tuition fees. After the fourth week of the semester, such students are held fully liable for tuition fees. Refund requests based on official withdrawals must be submitted to the Office of Student Financial Services within six months from the end of the term which the student withdrew in order for the refund to be processed. See Withdrawal from the university within the General Bulletin for more information. In addition, see our Title Four Withdrawals policy page for more information about withdrawals and repayment of financial aid.
