Repeated Attempt of Courses
The 1997 Legislature passed House Bill 1545 mandates that undergraduate students pay addi tional charges for the third time a student either takes or attempts a college credit course. Any undergraduate course taken, beginning Fall 1997, and all courses taken after this date will be subject to the repeat surcharge. Attempted hours mean those hours dropped/withdrawn after the drop/add period or failed. Withdrawals, incompletes and dropped courses will be subject to the tuition sur- charge, if they are fee-liable. All students are included regardless of type or residency. Undergrad- uate courses are 1000 to 4000 level courses.
Exceptions: - Any course work taken prior to Fall 1997
- Credits earned through - cooperative education, military, waivers, audits, individualized study, courses that are repeated as a requirement of a major (except courses repeated more than times to increase GPA or meet minimum course grade requirements), courses intended to continue over multiple semesters
- Attempts taken at previous institutions prior to enrolling at FIU
- Any non fee-liable withdrawal or dropped course
- Graduate level courses (courses at 5000 level or above)
- Effective Summer 2000 Registration, Universities may make exceptions based on extenuating circumstances and financial hardships. Students wishing to appeal the repeat course surcharge may complete an “Appeal of Repeat Course Surcharge” form, which may be obtained in the Registrar’s Office, PC 130.
