Deferred Payments
All eligible veterans or qualified dependents pursuing an education within the meaning of Chapter 30, 32, 33, 35, 1606 and 1607 of Title 38, United States Code are entitled to one 30 day or 60 day deferment for the payment of tuition and fees only (books and supplies not included). The 30 days is only for the Summer term, in accordance with Florida Statute 240.345 for Post secondary Education. To have a deferment processed, all veterans and qualified dependents must contact a Financial Aid Specialist on either campus for guidance.
To qualify, a student must have enrolled in classes for the upcoming term. In addition:
- Veterans under chapter 30, 32 or 34/30 must have supplied a readable copy of their DD-214 and a fully completed 22-1990 Application for Veterans Educational Benefits.
- For the selected reserve chapter 1606 and 1607 personnel, they must have supplied the same 22-1990 as well as a fully completed DD-2384, Notice of Basic Eligibility.
- For those under the chapter 35 qualified dependent must have submitted the 22-5490 Application for Survivors and Dependent Educational Assistance and supporting documents.
All of the above must be submitted prior to the granting of any deferment. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise and students are not able to meet the payment due date. So, setting aside the amount needed to pay off the deferment is most important. Students will be administratively withdrawn from classes for failure to pay their deferment on the specified date. The withdrawn student will still owe the College the amount of the deferment and will owe the VA for any benefits received during the deferment period.
Please note: Any classes from which a student withdraws from after the end of drop/add period must still be paid for even if done so prior to paying for the deferment.
