A student becomes liable for his/her tuition upon registration. All State Employee
Fee Waivers, agency billing and department billings for all students, including those
receiving financial aid, must be submitted by the fee deadline date. Fee payment is due by the 10th class day each semester. Students whose financial aid does not cover 100% of tuition and fees must pay the
balance by the published date. Failure to meet payment deadlines will result in a
late fee of $100.00 added to your outstanding balance. Additionally, all future course
registrations will be denied, transcripts will be withheld, and the student will not
receive a diploma until the balance is paid in full.
Payments can be made with cash, personal checks(student’s name and ID number, driver’s
license number, date of birth and telephone number must be included on the check),
money orders, cashiers check, ATM/Debit card, and credit card(Visa, Master Card),
at CASS Building Suite 103. Please be advised that there is a $5,000.00 per day transaction limit on personal
checks. Personal checks are subject to automatic check verification of available
funds. Cashier operating hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
If paying fees by mail send a personal check(student’s name and ID number, copy of
the maker of the check's driver’s license number, date of birth and telephone number
must accompany the check), , money order, or cashier’s check for the full amount of

ID number, driver’s license number, date of birth and telephone number on your check
along with a copy of the maker's driver's license. Tuition payments must be inserted

You may also pay via the web at www.famu.edu using iRattler . The University accepts
VISA or Mastercard (debit/credit). There is a $10.00 convenience fee for this service.

A formal payment plan option is available via iRattler. Students may make payments
in equal installments via auto payment or manual payments via the Cashnet payment
system. Students can also invite family members and friends to make payments on their
account via this method. There is a $15.00 fee associated with this plan. The first
payment is due upon enrollment.
Checks returned for insufficient funds or due to a stop payment will be considered
as nonpayment if the initial payment is for tuition. Therefore, a late payment fee
of $100.00 will be added to the balance if applicable.
The returned check service fee is as follows:
$25.00 if the check is $0.01 to $50.00,
$30 if the check is $50.01 to $300.00,
$40.00 if the check is over $300.01 to $350.00, and
$40.00 or 5% whichever is greater on checks over $350.00.
Notification will be given to the student and/or maker via certified mail to the address
on the check or to the last known address. After notification that a check has been
returned, redemption including the service charge must be made within seven (7) working
days. Florida A & M University forwards all returned checks to the State Attorney’s
Office for redemption and prosecution after collection efforts are exhausted. In
addition, collection costs will be added if the account is sent to an external collection
agency.
A "Negative Service Indicator" is placed on the account of all students who have returned
checks with the University. The student will not be permitted to pay University
charges with a personal check in the future.
