Deferrals of Tuition and Fee

Financial aid awards will normally result in a deferment of tuition and fee payments. Deferments allow for the time lag that normally occurs between the date that tuition and fees are due and the date on which financial aid disbursements are made, which is normally two to three weeks after the term begins. Students are responsible to pay any amount owed to the university that is not covered by estimated aid and/or other resources by the payment deadline. The deferment process occurs automatically if the student is meeting all general eligibility requirements and has enrolled in sufficient hours for the financial aid program/s. Please refer to the Program Eligibility Charts on the Web site for more information. Students should use myUCF to obtain uptodate information. Since awards are subject to change, deferments are also subject to change. Deferments based on estimated Stafford loans will be canceled prior to the beginning of the semester if the student has not completed the loan application process. Students must drop classes prior to the end of add/drop in order to not be fee liable for those classes. If students do not drop their classes, a financial aid deferment may keep the classes active even if they are never attended.
