Aid Programs
Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities
Student Financial Affairs (SFA) in S-107 Criser Hall and the Dean of Students Office (DSO) Disability Resource Center in 001 Reid Hall work together to assist students with disabilities. Criser and Peabody Halls are wheelchair accessible. To apply for aid available through SFA, follow the instructions in "How to Apply."
Students who need special help to apply for aid may contact SFA at (352) 392-1272 (V/TDD). When applying for aid through SFA, students with disabilities may qualify for an increase in their educational budgets to cover disability-related expenses. For financial aid purposes, undergraduates must be registered for at least 12 credit hours per semester to be considered full-time. DSO helps determine disability-related expenses not offered or provided by other agencies. The Disability Resource Center's phone numbers are (352) 392-8565 (V); fax (352) 392-8570.
For a TDD number call the Florida Relay Service (Dial 711; or 1 (800) 955-8770 for voice assistance).
