Frequently Asked Questions



Plan Types and Plan Changes

Q: Which plans will supplement my current tuition contract?

Local Fee Plans

  • The Four-Year University Local Fee Plan covers the local fees (student activity and service, athletic, and health fees) associated with 120 university undergraduate credit hours.
  • The 2 + 2 Local Fee Plan covers the local fees associated with 60 community college credit hours (student activity and technology fees) and 60 university undergraduate credit hours (student activity and service, athletic, and health fees).
  • The Two-Year Community College Local Fee Plan covers the student activity and technology fees associated with 60 community college credit hours.

    Please note:
    1. Local fee plans may only be purchased in conjunction with the corresponding tuition plan.
    2. Local fee plans are only available for students in the eighth grade or younger.

Tuition Differential Fee Plans

  • The tuition differential fee plan covers the supplemental fee charged to a student for instruction provided by a public university in the state pursuant to Section 1009.24 (15) Florida Statutes.
  • The tuition differential fee plan supplements a 4-Year University Tuition Plan or 2+2 Tuition Plan; therefore, the tuition differential fee plan will be the same type as your tuition plan.

    Please note:
    1. Tuition differential fee plans may only be purchased in conjunction with the corresponding tuition plan.
    2. Tuition differential fee plans are only available for students enrolled in or below the eighth grade.

Dormitory Plans

    Dormitory Plans cover the dormitory fees associated with residence in a double-occupancy, air-conditioned room on a state university campus. State universities may limit the dormitories eligible for prepaid coverage. The dormitory plans are available in one-year (two semester) increments.

    Please note:
    1. Dormitory plans may only be purchased in conjunction with a four-year state university or 2 + 2 tuition plan.
    2. Dormitory plans are only available for students enrolled in or below the eighth grade

Q: May I upgrade from a two-year plan to a 2+2 or four-year plan? May I upgrade from a 2+2 plan to a four-year plan? May I add additional years to my current dormitory contract?

A: No. You may cancel the current contract and reapply for the preferred contract during a Program enrollment period. The new contract will be based on current contract prices, rather than the prices in effect when the original contract was purchased.

Q: May I convert to a plan of lesser value? May I drop years from a dormitory contract or convert from a four-year contract to a 2+2 or two-year contract?

A: Yes. Please call Customer Service at 1-800-552-GRAD (4723) to discuss your options.

Q: May I purchase the first two years of a combined community college/university plan now, and then purchase the remaining two years at a future date?

A: No. There are no provisions for a "split" purchase of a contract.
