If you are not using Florida PrePaid, transient students are required to pay out of pocket to the host institution and seek reimbursement from their home institution. 

A Florida Resident Discount is available for students who are classified as an in-state Florida Resident. Students will be admitted as non-Florida residents until documentation to prove Florida Residency is submitted. Check out our residency page to find out what documents you can submit to prove Florida Residency.
