Information Regarding Repeat Course Tuition Surcharge
________________________________________________________________ 
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 Attempted hours mean those hours dropped/withdrawn after the drop/add period or failed.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 surcharge, if they are fee-liable. All students are included regardless of type or residency. Undergraduate courses are 1000 to 4000 level courses.

Exceptions:
• Any course work taken prior to Fall 1997
• Attempts taken at previous institutions prior to enrolling at FIU
• Any non fee-liable withdrawal or dropped course
