The fees the students pay on top of tuition for other sports-related needs are the largest source of revenue for the department at UCF, according to the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. In 2017, students provided $22.6 million for sports — 40% of the department’s revenue. UCF students pay $14.32 per credit hour for athletics, which adds up to $214.80 each semester for a full-time student. Florida’s other public universities also charge fees for athletics, ranging from $.69 to $20.93 per credit hour.
