Extra tuition charges for repeated courses and excess
hours. The Florida Legislature has mandated a tuition surcharge for the
third time a student takes or attempts a college credit course. Also, students
who attempt more than 115\% of the hours required in their degree program will
pay 150% of their normal tuition. For more information of these charges,
including a possible appeal of the surcharge, see pages 3,4 of the Class
Schedule booklet. These charges should serve as additional motivation for you to
pass the course. In other words, do your homework.
Cancelled classes: if you see a note posted saying that class is cancelled, make sure it is on FIU stationery and wait till the beginning of class before leaving.
