Tuition deferments will be granted to students using VA Educational benefits. It is granted to avoid the assessment of late fees, denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement to borrow additional funds due to the delayed VA disbursement of tuition funding to UWF. 

To qualify for the tuition deferment students must provide approved VA documents to our office. Required documents would be VA Form 22-1905 or TEB + 22-1990E, or 22-1990, or Certificate of Eligibility (COE), examples of VA Documents may be found here: MVRC - Getting Started

Deferments are applied to students accounts once they have submitted a VA Enrollment Certification (ECF) and have been certified. Although our office applies deferments to students accounts, the cashiers office will finalize the application of tuition deferments to students account. They may apply deferments to students account once the pervious semester has submitted grades. Ensure to monitor your student email for notification of late fees.

Deferment due dates are contingent on the documents provided to our office. Students who submit initial application documentation (1905, TEB+1990E, 1990) will be granted a 90 day deferment for full term courses (Term 1) and 30 day deferments for mini or accelerated terms.

Students who provide a Certificate of Eligibility will be granted a tuition deferment until the end of the semester.

If you have less than 100% Post 9/11 on file, the tuition deferment will still be applied until the end of the semester. It is your responsibility for the percentage of the tuition and fees not covered. You may contact the Cashiers Office at 850-474-3037 or stuacct@uwf.edu to remove the deferment on file to pay sooner than the end of the semester. 

NOTE: Students who submit documentation to our office late (past the assessed late fee due date) will be liable for the late fee regardless if a VA Enrollment Certification Form (ECF) was submitted. Our office is unable to request for a deferment to be applied to students accounts without required documentation being on file.
