Registration Fees

• Registration fees are due by the fee-payment deadline as published on the student schedule found on PASSPORT. Payment may be made in person at the Polk State College Cashier’s Office on the Winter Haven campus or Lakeland campus, or online through the PASSPORT student portal.
   
• Failure to pay fees by the published deadline results in cancellation of registration. The student may not be able to re-register for the original classes selected.
   
• Registration is not complete until the student stops registration activity and the PASSPORT account shows that all fees have been paid in full.
   
• Financial aid, Bright Futures, veterans’ benefits, and other aid recipients must be aware of their award coverage and pay any outstanding portion by the posted deadline to prevent cancellation of registration. It is important to note that if you do not attend class during the drop period and the professor marks you as not attending, you will be dropped from the class and any aid calculations are adjusted based on your full-time/part-time status. This may result in a release of funds to you as a refund in the amount previously designated to pay for the dropped class. If you later are reinstated to the class, the tuition and fees for that class will be due immediately.
   
• All outstanding residency documentation must be submitted prior to the Drop deadline.  Once the Drop deadline has passed, a student’s residency cannot be changed for the current term.
   
• Documentation for qualifying for one of Florida’s fee exemptions or waivers must be submitted prior to the Drop deadline. Once the Drop deadline has passed, student’s exemptions and waivers cannot be applied to the current term.
  
  Note: Be sure to read all documentation from the Financial Aid Office, the Foundation, the Admission and Registrar’s Office, or any funding source you use so that you are in compliance with all regulations relating to financial arrangements for your tuition and fees.
