Can I use a fee waiver/military exemption/Florida or state employee exemption to pay (EEP) tuition and fees?

No, fee waivers and exemptions are not accepted. Tuition and fees for online courses at UF must be paid by a credit card or a check drawn on a U.S. bank. UF also charges a non-refundable service charge when paying by credit card.

*Note to UF employees – program is not EEP eligible.

Is any financial aid available?

There is financial aid available for master’s degree students who qualify. You can fill out a FAFSA form if you are interested in financial aid and use UF’s school code: 001535.

Graduate certificate programs and courses taken as a non-degree seeking student do not qualify for federal financial aid, but students may qualify for private loans.

For more information regarding Student Financial Aid, contact the University of Florida Office for Student Financial Affairs: http://www.sfa.ufl.edu.
