A tuition deferment prevents cancellation of registration for non-payment of fees, and temporarily prevents assessment of the late payment fee. Because a tuition deferment prevents cancellation for non-payment, you must officially withdraw from all classes by the refund deadline to be relieved of liability to pay and to ensure that tuition is not later paid by disbursed financial aid.

Check OASIS prior to the start of classes (each term) to see if you have any deferments and to see the expiration date(s) for the deferment(s).

Automatic Tuition Deferments

Deferments require you be enrolled as a degree-seeking student and are enrolled at least half time. Deferments are automatically posted on OASIS for students who qualify. To qualify for an automatic deferment, you should be eligible to receive financial aid (including student loans) and/or scholarships.

If you completed the Free Application of Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a tuition deferment will be posted if:

  • USF receives the official results from the federal processor no later than the Friday before classes begin, and;

  • You are admitted as a degree seeking student, and;

  • You are registered at least half-time in USF classes by 5pm Friday before classes begin.

Manual Tuition Deferments

Eligibility for a manual deferment is considered by on a case by case basis, based on documentation of an awarded scholarship that will be disbursed through the USF student account.
