Florida Prepaid College Plan & 529 Plans
Student Account Services
529 Plans
Learn more about how the 529 Plan works at Rollins College.
There are various types of 529 plans categorized as 529 Prepaid Plan or 529 Private Plan. To draw from your plan to pay for tuition and fee expenses, follow the instructions of the plan administrator to ensure accurate and prompt transmissions of funds. Be sure to provide them with the following information:
Student's full name
Student's Rollins ID number (the letter "R" followed by 8 digits)
Payments should be sent to:
Rollins College
1000 Holt Ave. – 2716
Winter Park, FL 32789
Plan accordingly as it could take up to 14 business days for the College to receive payment via check once you have requested the funds.
Many 529 plans now have an electronic funds transfer option (EFT). When requesting your withdrawal, look to see if EFT is available for your plan.
Payments must be received by the published due dates.
Student Account Services
Florida Prepaid College Plan
UPDATE: Effective August 9, 2023, the beneficiary or account holder of an unrestricted plan should email Student Account Services to inform our office each semester for billing.
In order for Rollins College to bill Florida Prepaid on your behalf, a Florida Prepaid Transfer Form must be completed. Florida Prepaid Transfer requests can be submitted online by the Account Owner or Beneficiary. Please log in to your account at myfloridaprepaid.com/my-account, choose the Plan Details tab and click on See Usage. Otherwise Florida Prepaid Transfer requests can also be submitted directly to Florida Prepaid using their contact information provided on the form.
Florida Prepaid will forward authorization confirmation to the College. Florida Prepaid will not pay Rollins College until the Transfer Authorization form has been received.
Typically, it takes 3 to 4 business weeks for the Student Account Services Office to receive confirmation. Once confirmation is received, you will receive temporary credit for the maximum amount that can be billed to your Florida Prepaid plan.
For the restricted payment option, the College will bill up to 15 credit hours for the fall and spring semesters, unless the account holder or beneficiary notifies us otherwise.
For the unrestricted payment option, the account holder or beneficiary should email the Student Account Services Office to inform our office each semester for billing. If no communication is received, Student Account Services will bill up to 15 credit hours.
After the drop/add period has ended, the Student Account Services Office bills Florida Prepaid on your behalf. Florida Prepaid payments take about 3 weeks to arrive, if all appropriate paperwork has been received. If for any reason the College is unable to complete the billing process, the temporary credit will be reversed and the student will be billed in full with an immediate due date. Please note that Florida Prepaid pays based on the rate established for the academic school year.
Reasons why Florida Prepaid is not applied to your student account:
The SSN on file at Florida Prepaid or Rollins College may not match
The Florida Prepaid account could be delinquent
You may have placed a hold on your Florida Prepaid account
The matriculation (or enrollment) year may be incorrect*
*Matriculation year is the year of enrollment in college
