  5. Tuition must be paid by the end of the third day of classes. If you do not pay tuition on time, you will be charged a $50 late fee and will not be allowed to attend class until payment is  made.
  6. Average figures include electricity, water, and parking. They do not include nonrefundable application fees ($160 average) or refundable security deposits ($750 average).
  7. Average figures include minimum estimates of books, food, medical insurance, and incidental living expenses. The University of Florida requires students to carry medical insurance. The cost of medical insurance varies in price from term to term depending on such factors as length of study, age and marital status. .
