Direct Payment

If you are paying tuition and fees from your own pocket, you may make payments either on line or with a personal check, money order, or cashier's check for the full amount of fees due.

Payments must be received by the close of business on the fee payment deadline of the semester to avoid a $100 late fee. For more details on the methods of payments and deadline dates. Please go to: http://registrar.fsu.edu

“My experiences with the FSU criminology program have been phenomenal. The flexibility the program offers has been beneficial to me on many levels. It allowed me the freedom to take courses on my own time while I was still on Active Duty as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy, and I was able to remain enrolled as I transitioned into civilian life.

I have made contacts with peers in the criminal justice community all around the country. From students in Washington State to Florida, there's always an abundance of ideas and varied input in our classes. Aditionally, the skills I learn from the courses help me in my career as an investigator. As I look to promote and advance in my career, a graduate degree from a university as well known as Florida State will undoubtedly assist me.”
