Florida Prepaid College Plan NSU accepts and bills the Florida Prepaid College Plan for tuition, fees, and on-campus housing costs. The plan is based on the tuition rates of the tax-assisted Florida public colleges and universities. The difference between NSU tuition, fees, and on-campus housing costs and the allocations through the Florida Prepaid College Plan is the sole responsibility of the student. If a student is on an unrestricted plan, the student must designate a dollar amount for up to the cost of tuition and fees. Students new to NSU must contact Florida Prepaid at 800-552- GRAD to authorize NSU for payment. For those students who have notified the Florida Prepaid College Plan that they are attending NSU, the plan will automatically be billed based on the student’s hours of enrollment after the drop/add period. Students may request a change to this procedure by submitting a completed and signed Florida Prepaid College Plan Billing Request Form available on the Office of the University Bursar website at nova.edu/bursar/forms/index.html .
