<p>Does Bright Futures cover tuition for Summer B classes?</p>

2

<p>Nope. I had to pay out of pocket the one summer I took classes.</p>

<p>Well, from what I heard, you can defer your pay, and pay it once Bright Futures kicks-in (assuming you got accepted into Summer B). Not sure of the name of the type of payment, though. Might want to call UF.</p>

<p>I know you spend more hours in class each week for each credit hour. What is considered "full-time?"</p>

5

<p>6 hours is considered full time in the summer.</p>

<p>Bright Futures does not cover Summer classes</p>

<p>No, summer classes are not covered by Bright Futures. Deferment is used to defer expenses like tuition and housing until financial aid monies are released within the semester. For example, if tuition is due on Jan 5 and you have financial aid (with BF is considered), they will defer the bill until the aid is released, a few weeks later. But deferment does not carry over from one semester til the next.</p>

<p>All loans or scholarship money if you have any left over. As stated above, no BF in summer.</p>

<p>It doesn't cover it like others have said but I hear almost all students need to do one summer semester because they may not reach the amount of credits needed for their degree</p>

<p>Bright Futures does not pay for summer and deferment is only for when the tuition is due before the funding FOR THAT TUITION has not arrived. You cannot defer summer tuition payments until fall. Tuition has to be paid by a date or you will be dropped from classes. Post #3 is not correct.</p>

<p>They waive the summer requirement if you come in with a certain amount of credits. Even though most people I know still did a summer (part or all) so they could graduate in 4 years, however some don't mind doing 4.5 or 5 years (esp the engineering people like chemical).</p>
