The University of Florida code for the FAFSA form is 001535. Students who use federal financial aid should contact UF Student Financial Affairs (SFA) office with any financial aid-related questions, and should immediately contact the SFA office to work with an official financial aid officer at UF upon matriculation. It is always the student's responsibility to meet any minimum credit requirements or other conditions set forth by their financial aid package.

Other Options

All UF students, whether pursuing a graduate certificate or a master's, only pay tuition for the number of credit hours registered each semester. As such, you can take a semester off between courses to extend your time in the program and spread your costs. You can also take one course at a time to limit the number of credit hours you pay for each semester.

Please note that UF does not offer payment plans for tuition nor does it extend a line of credit to students.

You might also ask if your employer or organization offers education or professional development reimbursement, funding, or grants.** You can also explore private loans, such as Sallie Mae—a private loan organization that provides funding for graduate studies.***
