Fee Appeals

Students who desire to appeal a Late Payment Fee and/or a Late Registration Fee may make their appeal to the Fee Appeals Committee by initiating a student petition (Form 41-561). Students must submit their petitions to Student Account Services by email at studentaccounts@ucf.edu or by fax at (407) 823-1982. If the original petition is denied, students may appear before the Committee (not mandatory).

Third Attempt Surcharge

Students taking undergraduate courses are assessed a surcharge when attempting a course for a third time or more. Completed courses, withdrawals and courses with incomplete grades are counted as “attempts,” including courses repeated to raise the GPA or to achieve a specific grade.

Exemptions to the third attempt surcharge will be considered through a Fee Appeal Process.

Exceptions to the repeat course fee requirement shall be based only on extenuating circumstances or financial hardship.
