Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 6N-1.005 - Annual Fees for In-State Institutions to Participate in Florida's Reciprocity Agreement

(1) An in-State institution shall pay annually the application and renewal fees set forth in this rule including fees to the Council and fees to NC-SARA. The institution shall submit a FL-SARA Fee Transmittal Form to the Council on Form 1002 (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-13307), effective July 2021. This form is incorporated by reference and may be obtained without cost from the Council's website at www.flsara.org or by writing to the Commission for Independent Education at 325 West Gaines Street, Suite 1414, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400.

(2) Fees to the Council. Fees are based on the student data reported to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) annually. An Institution that does not report to IPEDS is authorized to utilize its most recent actual full-time equivalent enrollment to determine the appropriate fee.

(a) For institutions with fewer than 2, 500 full-time equivalent enrollment, the annual, nonrefundable fee due to the Council is $1, 250.

(b) For institutions with between 2, 500 and 9, 999 full-time equivalent enrollment, the annual, nonrefundable fee due to the Council is $2, 750.

(c) For institutions with 10, 000 or more full-time equivalent enrollment, the annual, nonrefundable fee due to the Council is $4, 250.

(3) Fees to NC-SARA. Fees due annually to NC-SARA to participate in SARA are prescribed by the National Reciprocity Agreement. Fees paid by institutions to NC-SARA are independent of and in addition to those due to the Council under subsection (2), of this rule. Failure to pay fees to the NC-SARA shall render the institution's approval in Florida null and void.
