REPEAT COURSE SURCHARGE By act of the 1997 Florida Legislature (H.B. 1545), each Florida public institution is required to implement a repeat course surcharge for students who take a State-funded undergraduate course for the third time. Effective Fall Semester 1997, students taking the same course for the third time at UWF are subject to an increased matriculation fee of 100% of the cost of instruction. However, exceptions may be made for individualized study, courses that are repeated as a requirement of a major, (i.e. major requires student enroll multiple times) and courses that are intended as continuing over multiple semesters. The repeat of course work more than two times to increase grade point average or meet minimum course grade requirements is subject to the surcharge (see Tuition and Registration Fees). Address appeals to the Fee Appeals Committee and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
