If you’re a full-time UF student, chances are you’ll be paying for a class you’re not taking next semester. It may sound counterintuitive, but a new proposal in front of the State University System’s Board of Governors, the governing authority overseeing public higher education in Florida, would allow the UF administration to charge full-time students a flat fee for tuition regardless of the number of credit hours they take. So, for example, if you’re like the many UF students who take 12 credit hours each semester, you’ll be charged for 15 credit hours. On the flipside, if you take 15 or 18 credit hours a semester, you won’t notice a change in your tuition bill and could even save money.
