Payment Methods
OSU accepts the following methods of payment:
eCheck through eBill. To pay with an eCheck through eBill the student/authorized user can log onto eBill and enter in their checking account information. The payment is then deducted from that person's checking account. Students/authorized users have the option of saving their checking account information in eBill so that it does not need to be reentered each time. Students and authorized users do not have access to each other's checking account information and cannot make payments using the other person's account. Please see our eBill information page for more information regarding eBill and eChecks
Credit cards. Oregon State University does accept Visa and MasterCard payments. Students can use Student Online Services as a convenience option for making credit card payments, or they can opt out of this option by utilizing one of our other payment methods. To make a credit card payment students can log on to their account at Student Online Services, select "Account Information" and then "Make Credit Card Payment".
Paper check. To pay with a paper check the student or authorized user would print off a copy of the student's eBill and mail in the payment to the address below.

Returned checks or Non-sufficient funds payments
If a check (paper check or eCheck) is not honored by the payer's bank and is returned to the University, the consequences are serious. The service charge for returned check collection is $25.00 per item, regardless of the amount of the check or the reason it was returned. Returned checks will be billed on your student account - this means that you will see a charge back for the amount of the check. A hold may be placed on your student account or check writing privileges may be suspended if multiple checks are returned. Checks returned because of bank error require a letter from the bank to be sent to the Cashier's Office, and must include the student ID number. OSU is not responsible for any fees that your bank charges you as a result of writing checks against funds not on deposit at your bank.
