Residency Requirements
Applicants for admission to FCCJ are classified as Florida resident students or non-Florida resident students for tuition assessment purposes.
Students may qualify as a resident in these categories.
- An individual, or, if dependent, their parent(s), shall have established
and maintained legal residence in Florida for at least 12 months immediately
prior to the student’s enrollment.
- Individuals shall not be eligible to receive the instate tuition rate
until they have provided such evidence related to legal residence and
its duration as required by officials of the institution of higher education.
However, any period of time in which the students reside in this state
primarily for educational purposes may not be counted towards residency
status.
- The legal residence of dependents’ parent(s) shall be evidence
of their legal residence. However, if the legal residence of the parent(s)
is outside this state, individuals who have lived in this state for
five consecutive years prior to enrolling may apply for the instate
tuition rate.
- Any non-resident individual who marries a legal resident of this state
may, upon becoming a legal resident of this state, receive the benefit
of the spouse’s residency status.
- No individual shall lose his or her resident status by reason of serving
or, if dependents, by their parent(s) serving in the armed forces outside
this state.
- The legal residence of dependents whose parents are divorced, separated
or otherwise living apart shall be deemed to be Florida if either parent
is a legal resident of Florida.
Applicants who do not qualify as Florida students under these provisions will pay the non-Florida tuition and other charges required of non-Florida students.
Students requesting to reclassify as a Florida resident for tuition purposes must:
- complete a residency reclassification form,
- have documentation verifying residency and intent to make Florida
their home 12 months prior to the first day of classes for the term
of reclassification, and
- Submit all documents and forms prior to the drop deadline for the
term of reclassification.
Students that are spouses, dependents or minors must present documents in the name of the person that is a Florida resident. Students may apply for residency reclassification at any campus enrollment services office.

Payment
How to Pay
After you register, your courses are reserved for you until your payment deadline. When we receive your payment, your courses are locked in. If you choose not to pay by the payment deadline, your course reservation will be canceled, and you will need to re-register. The College provides you with three ways to pay for college credit courses: by telephone, on campus and by mail.
Students registering for noncredit courses must pay at the business services office at each campus. Some continuing education courses are payable through the office sponsoring the course. See the college schedule for details.
Telephone
The easiest way to pay for college credit courses is directly through the Touch-Tone telephone registration system. You have two options: pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card) or pay by financial aid. You can pay through the Touch-Tone system at any time after you register, but remember, if you choose to delay your payment it still must be received by the deadline to lock in your schedule.
If you pay by financial aid and the operator says, "No aid on file," please contact a campus enrollment services office for further service.
On Campus
You may pay your tuition and fees at the business office on any Florida Community College campus. On campus, you can use cash, check, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card) to pay your fees.
By Mail
Pay by mail instructions and forms are printed in each college schedule.
Agency Sponsored Payments
When a sponsoring agency or organization has agreed in writing to reimburse FCCJ for the registration fees and/or books for students, these students are responsible for bringing a copy of the authorization to any campus student aid office. Once the student aid office has entered the authorization into the computer, students must report to registration and have the authorization pay for their fees. If the sponsoring agency does not render payment to the College in the prescribed manner, the sponsored students will be liable for any charges incurred on their behalf and will be billed by the College. Students will be required to render payment within 10 days of the billing date.
Payment of Student Accounts Due the College
FCCJ prohibits the registration of, release of transcripts to, or the issuance of a certification of completion or diploma to students whose accounts with the College are delinquent. Students who fail to pay short-term loans, veterans deferment or other debt by the date established by the College may be disenrolled or turned over to a collection agency and will not be able to register and receive transcripts.
Fee Refunds
Requirements
Refunds for cancelled classes will be processed automatically on a timely basis by the finance department.
Students who wish to drop a class to receive a refund or clear their financial aid must report to the campus enrollment services office and complete a drop card no later than five business days after the beginning date of class or the date shown on the registration receipt, whichever is later. No refund of fees will be made on classes for which the fee is less than $5, unless the College cancels the class.
If a veterans deferment is authorized and the College cancels the class(es) or the registration of students is cancelled, the deferment will be reduced by the amount of the cancelled class(es) for students.
Amounts due the College will be deducted before any check or credit memorandum to the credit card account is issued.
Fee Refunds, Continuing Education Courses, Seminars and Workshops
As published in the announcement, workshops or seminars which require special arrangements may provide no refund of fees if participants cancel after the time specified in the announcement.
Refund Payment Dates
Refund checks or credit memoranda to credit card accounts will be made in accordance with the schedule established by the College.
Students paying part of their tuition with cash/ check and part by credit card will receive a credit memoranda to their credit card account.
