Student Debt Management

Student Debt Management

The Student Debt Management group is responsible for collecting on past-due student accounts, and the counselors are committed to working with and supporting students to complete their educational goals. There are different requirements for your student account balance depending if you are a current student or not currently enrolled. Please see below for more information regarding your student account in either circumstance.

Information About Registration and Transcript Holds

Currently Enrolled at Oregon State University

Students who elect to carry a balance on their OSU student account should note that their balance must be paid down to $2,200, and outstanding charges are from only the two most recent terms before they can register for the next term. Also, any unpaid past-due balance is subject to interest charges of 1% per month. In addition if a student owes from a prior term they are unable to access a complete official transcript until all of their prior term balances are paid.

Not Currently Enrolled at Oregon State University

For those who are not currently enrolled at Oregon State University the balance of your student account is due in full. If you are unable to pay your student account in full, the account goes into collections and your account is billed a collection fee, in addition to the monthly 1% interest charges. Both a transcript hold and registration hold will be placed on your student account. The Student Debt Management counselors can work with you to make payment arrangements with you if you are unable to pay your account in full. However, if the arrangements are not kept or sufficient, escalated collection activity may continue.
