FLORIDA PREPAID TUITION PLAN PROCEDURES 2009/2010

The Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan at Valencia is administered by the Business Office.  Listed below are the processing procedures for participants:

Once you have registered for classes and fees have been assessed we will automatically defer the maximum amount that can be billed for all participants who are in good standing with Florida Prepaid.  You are not required to notify the Business Office that you want to use your prepaid plan. Please review your account on Atlas to determine that your Florida Prepaid has been applied.  Please contact the Business Office in the event that your account has not been updated. Your deferral and the Florida Prepaid payment are limited to the amount of credits remaining in your prepaid plan, which is reflected on your annual statement from Florida Prepaid.

At the time we invoice, your Florida Prepaid account must be in good standing and have sufficient credit hours available.  If necessary, please notify Florida Prepaid to release any holds.  If for any reason we are unable to complete the billing process we will reverse the credit and payment for your classes will become due to Valencia immediately. *Note:  If you are a beneficiary of a scholarship please complete the survey that is required from Florida Prepaid each year.

Please be aware that there are fees that are not covered by your Florida Prepaid Plan.  Check your Atlas account to determine these fees and make arrangements to pay for them by the payment deadline.  Payments can be made through the web, by mail or in person at the Business Office.

Florida Prepaid will not pay for any Special Fees associated with your classes. 

Florida Prepaid will not pay for the Technology Fee portion of your tuition unless you are enrolled in the local fee program with Florida Prepaid.   Currently the Technology Fee portion of your tuition is $3.38 per credit hour.

Florida Prepaid will not pay for the Student Activity fee portion of your tuition unless you are enrolled in the local fee program with Florida Prepaid.  Currently the Student Activity fee portion of your tuition is $6.24 per credit hour. 

To determine your portion of the fees:  find the number of hours you are registered for in the hours column.  The next column indicates the amount of your tuition that will be paid by the Florida Prepaid College Program, and this amount should be reflected on your Valencia schedule/bill. 

Should you have any questions concerning VCC procedures, please come by the Business Office.  Your Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan representative may be reached at 800-552-GRAD.

If for any reason you do not want Valencia to bill Florida Prepaid on your behalf or would like to reduce the number of hours billed, please complete and sign the authorization form and return to the Business Office by the payment deadline.
