IA students with a Florida Pre-Paid Plan may make full use of the plan during any semester (including the pre-enrollment first fall) at any state institution covered under the terms of the pre-paid contract. Innovation Academy students can use their pre-paid plan to pay for spring and summer semester enrollment in the Innovation Academy. They can also use their pre-paid plan to pay for courses taken at other eligible institutions during the fall semester when they are not enrolled at UF. However, before enrolling in fall semester coursework at another institution, we recommend that you consult with your UF academic advisor and a UF financial aid advisor.

IA students that pursue fall coursework at another college or university should be careful about accepting financial aid (i.e. Federal Pell Grant, Stafford Loans, or Bright Futures); accepting financial aid may reduce eligibility for financial aid in the summer. Students are considered non-degree seeking until their first Spring semester, and are not eligible for financial aid at UF. We encourage IA students to contact the UF OneStop with any questions or concerns.
IA students are considered non-degree seeking until their first Spring semester at UF, and are not eligible for financial aid from UF and Bright Futures.
