Buckle Up, Buttercup: Automatic Billing is Your New BFF
UCF is pretty sweet about Florida Prepaid. They automatically extend the tuition due date after the add deadline. This means you've got a little extra time to, you know, raid the couch for spare change in case your ramen noodle budget needs a top-up. But here's the kicker: UCF will automatically bill Florida Prepaid for all the credit hours you're enrolled in.
Hold on a sec, you say, *what if I'm only taking summer classes to become a certified mermaid whisperer? Does Florida Prepaid need to fund my entire underwater basket-weaving degree? *
Fear not, young Padawan.

Taking Control of Your Prepaid Destiny (with a Deadline Looming)
UCF offers you the chance to be the master of your financial domain (at least for a semester). Through your myUCF portal, you can tell them exactly how many credit hours you want Florida Prepaid to pay for. This is particularly helpful if you're rocking a part-time Robin Hood situation, stealing from your overstuffed credit card to pay for textbooks while Florida Prepaid chills on the sidelines.
Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and deadlines). You gotta update those credit hours by the end of the add/drop period. Miss that deadline and Florida Prepaid becomes your overenthusiastic sugar daddy, funding every credit hour you've signed up for, regardless of your actual mer-folk scholarly pursuits.
