Deferment Forms
If a student will be receiving any form of financial aid or payment assistance, including Bright Futures, Florida Prepaid, other scholarships,
veteran’s benefits, or has a 529 savings plan and needs additional time to gather those resources, the fee deferment allows those receiving assistance
to delay paying a portion of their program fee until the beginning of their program term, when most financial aid will have disbursed. A deferment does
not reduce the balance owed, it only changes the due date of the portion deferred. All amounts deferred are due 10 days after the program term starts.
Always review the cancellation & fee liability policy for your program before completing a deferment.

The online fee deferment is located in the International Programs
Student Portal

FINANCIAL LIABILITY AFTER CANCELLATION
APPLICATION FEE:
All applicants to International Programs must pay a non-refundable, non-transferrable application fee
before their application is processed. This fee varies by program and does not guarantee admission.
COMMITMENT FEE:
The Commitment Fee is a non-refundable payment that signifies a financial commitment to participate in a
specific International Program. If the Commitment Fee is not paid or deferred by the due date, the applicant will be canceled from the program.
This fee varies by program and cannot be transferred between programs or semesters.

from their international program

REMAINING BALANCE:
After the Commitment Fee, any outstanding amount is referred to as the remaining balance.
Participants who cancel on or before the Full Payment Due Date will only be liable for the Commitment Fee. Failure to pay or defer
the remaining belance by the Full Payment Due Date results in cancellation from the program. If payment or deferment is made but
cancellation occurs after the Full Payment Due Date, participants are liable for the entire program fee.
Participants who submit a cancellation request on or before the Full Payment Due Date will remain financially liable for the Commitment Fee previously paid or deferred
Failure to pay or defer the remaining balance of program fees by the published Full Payment Due Date will result in cancellation from the program
Participants who pay or defer the remaining balance of program fees but submit a cancellation request after the Full Payment Due Date will remain
financially liable for the full program fee, including the Commitment Fee
For internship programs, program fees will be fully refunded if International Programs is unable to secure an internship
placement 60 days prior to the start of the program, unless the student agrees to an extension.
DEFERRED FEES:
Participants expecting financial aid or other assistance can defer a portion of their fees through a legally binding fee
deferment agreement. Full payment of deferred fees is due by the 10th day of the term abroad. Non-FSU students cannot defer the Commitment Fee but
may defer up to half of their remaining balance post-Commitment Fee payment.
International Programs must receive payment for all deferred fees on or before the 10th day of the program (or the 10th day of the Spring Term for Spring Break programs)
Non-FSU students may not defer the Commitment Fee but may defer up to half of their remaining balance after payment of the Commitment Fee
Participants who request cancellation after submitting a legally binding fee deferment agreement will remain financially liable for the Commitment
Fee or the full program fee, as determined by the timing of their cancellation request in relation to the published payment due dates as outlined above
REFUNDS / RELEASE OF LIABILITY FROM PROGRAM FEES
No refunds or releases from fee liability are possible after a program has begun or after the program or semester has ended. Full refunds, including the Commitment Fee, are
granted only under specific conditions such as involuntary military duty, death of the student or immediate family member, prior to the program start, with appropriate

For 60 years, Florida State University International Programs has been committed to providing a rewarding academic
experience that enriches the lives of our students. Our highest priority is and always has been the welfare and security of our students.
Program directors maintain contact with our Tallahassee office, local authorities, and United States officials, both at home and abroad.
Each program holds meetings with students in which safety procedures and precautions are detailed and regularly re-emphasized. Each
program has an Emergency Plan which includes details about local health care facilities, meeting points and procedures, and contingency
plans and funds should it ever become necessary to evacuate our students.
Students are reminded to inform International Programs of the details of their independent travel details via our
online travel form
, heed
US State Department travel advisories, and take relevant emergency and US Embassy/Consulate contact information with them.
Students venture abroad to experience other countries, and to gain a deeper appreciation of their role as American citizens in the world. FSU

Travel Insurance Information
FSU International Programs encourages program participants to consider purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance comes in many forms and
can protect you in case you need to change your travel plans due to unforeseen circumstances. The coverage ranges from help with lost baggage
to delay in flight plans to trip cancellation.
Travel insurance that covers fees associated with changing your airfare plans is especially helpful for those attending programs that require
entry or student visas. Immigration approval can take months with regulations changing often that can cause the need to delay or cancel flight
plans. Often airfare arrangements are non-refundable or cannot be changed without fee penalties. Certain types of trip cancellation insurance
will reimburse you the cost of your airfare or penalty fees.
Travel Insurance must cover failure to obtain visa
You may wish to begin researching travel insurance and trip cancellation policies by using the
Travel Insurance Review website
. Their
Travel Insurance 101: The Complete Guide to Travel Insurance
section is particularly helpful for those just beginning their research. They also have a section that allows you
to
compare different policies
Travel insurance is also offered through
CISI and Travel Insured International
Please note that this plan must be purchased within 21 days of paying your first fee. For example, if looking to insure the cost of the program, the plan must be purchased within 21 days of
paying the commitment fee to International Programs. If wishing to insure only the cost of the flight, the plan must be purchased within 21 days of purchasing airfare.
