Overview

Pay your tuition & fees in convenient monthly installments using Florida Tech's Panther Payment Plan. The Panther Payment Plan is designed to help students and their families effectively budget their out-of-pocket expenses each semester. Plans are available for both undergraduate and graduate level students.

Important Notice: The Panther Payment Plan is entirely web-based. This means that you both enroll and make your monthly payments online through PAWS and your Student Account Center. Please DO NOT attempt to pay your installments by cash, check, money order, or wire transfer. These items, when posted to your student account, will be applied to your total balance due decreasing each remaining monthly installment equally, and NOT paying entirely toward your next installment payment. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Account Management at (800) 676-9250.

Fast - Enrolling in the Panther Payment Plan is quick and easy. Look for the Panther Payment Plan in your Student Account Center, accessed through PAWS.

Secure - Pay online using a credit card (MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) or by electronic debit of a checking/savings account, knowing your information is secured using industry-leading security features.

Convenient - Fall and Spring plans each offer five monthly payments. The Summer  plan is now offered to undergratuate students, as well as graduate level students, consisting of three monthly payments.

  • Your plan will automatically recalculate your monthly installments nightly when additional charges or payments post to your student account (charges/payments posted to your student account after 5pm will not be recalculated until after 5pm on the next business day). The Panther Payment Plan system will notify you by email anytime your student account balance recalculates and your installments increase or decrease.
  • Access your plan online though PAWS anywhere you have internet access, anytime.
  • Add authorized payers to your student account: parents, family, friends, or anyone contributing financially to your education.  With your authorization, they can make or pay toward your monthly installments. This does not include Third Party Billing and Tuition Assistance sponsored payments.  

Inexpensive - The Panther Payment Plan is an inexpensive, interest free payment alternative. Avoid finance charges by enrolling prior to a semster's tuition & fee due date. Enrollment costs only $30.00 per semester, with an optional down payment.
