6. Unavailable Dorm Refund

   The Florida Prepaid College Plan will issue an Unavailable Dorm Refund so you do not have to cancel your dormitory plan.

   An unavailable dorm refund is available if the account owner submits

   • A signed letter
   • A letter from the University stating that no dorm room is available
   • Copy of the beneficiary’s class schedule verifying that the beneficiary is attending college
   • Copy of the lease agreement (for refund for Spring semester only)

7. Out-of-State School

The beneficiary may also decide to attend a college that is not in Florida. Florida Statutes specifies that funds transferred to eligible out-of-state institution may not exceed the current fee rates in Florida’s state universities. The Approved College link is a comprehensive list to which prepaid benefits may be transferred. In order to use benefits at an eligible out-of-state school the account owner must complete a transfer form.
