They must also provide postdated payments (checks or credit card authorizations) for the amount of tuition. Payment of tuition only (not fees), may then be deferred for five weeks after course completion. A $75 deferment fee is charged for this service and must be paid at registration, along with all other fees. Students must notify the Of ce of Student Financial Assistance if they are participating in the Employer Tuition Assistance Plan. Graduate students should inquire with their program of ce regarding any employer tuition assistance deferment plans. • Florida Prepaid College Plan NSU accepts and bills the Florida Prepaid College Plan for tuition, fees, and on-campus housing costs. The plans are based on the tuition rates of the tax-assisted Florida public colleges and universities. The difference between NSU tuition, fees, and on-campus housing costs and the allocations through the Florida Prepaid College Plan is the sole responsibility of the student. If a student is on the unrestricted plan, the student must designate a dollar amount for up to the cost of tuition and fees. Students new to NSU must contact Florida Prepaid at 800-552- GRAD to authorize NSU for payment. Additionally, each semester, the student must submit a copy of the front and back of the ID card with a signed statement indicating the number of credits or the amount to be invoiced.
