Florida Prepaid

Students with a valid Florida Prepaid Plan are automatically billed for the number of credit hours enrolled each term. Prior to the drop/add deadline you must verify your social security number matches in both the FAU and Florida Prepaid portal. Auto-billing will occur each term after the last day to pay deadline (Florida prepaid students will be deferred). Students are notified through their FAU email when the billing is completed and again when FAU has applied the payment to the student account.

Please review the video below for a comprehensive Q&A Resource Guide for the Florida Prepaid Plan.

 

Any balance not covered by prepaid or financial aid is due by the deferred deadline. Visit the Important Dates Calendar.
