The levels of the Activity and Service Fee, the Health Fee, and the Athletic fee are determined on each campus by a student fee committee appointed by the President of the University and the Student Government President. The committee includes USF faculty and students with the majority of the committee being students. The fees may be reviewed on a yearly basis.
Registration fees are assessed in accordance with University Board of Trustees rules. All fees are subject to change without prior notice. The University will make every effort to advertise any such changes if they occur.

Schedule/Fee Statements are no longer mailed. Tuition is due by the fifth day of each term. Students may view and/or pay their current term fees online by accessing the "Tuition, Fees & Payments" option in OASIS at http://usfonline.admin.usf.edu/.
The student is responsible for paying fees in full by the appropriate due date stated in the particular term’s “Schedule of Classes.” Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the student’s registration. Fees paid by mail must be postmarked by the post office, not office meter stamped, on or before the fifth day of the term. Checks are payable to USF.
To avoid a $100.00 late payment fee, all tuition fees must be paid or postmarked by the U.S. Post Office, not office metered, by the fifth day of the term. The University cannot be responsible for lost or misdirected U.S. Postal mail. A student whose registration has been cancelled may request registration reinstatement through the fourth week of class for the academic term. Upon approval for reinstatement, all fees and other debts owed to the University must be paid in full by cash, money order, check or credit card before reinstatement will be affected.
Current fees are posted in the Schedule of Classes (http://isis2.admin.usf.edu/ssearch/search.asp) and on the OASIS web site (http://usfonline.admin.usf.edu/).
