Tuition and Fees

How is my tuition calculated?
You will be billed the appropriate (in-state, out-of-state, or international) community college tuition and fees for courses taken at the partner school. You will be billed the appropriate (in-state, out-of-state) OSU tuition and fees for courses taken at OSU. Residency requirements for OSU can be found at http://www.ous.edu/sr/nonres/residencepolicies.pdf . Current tuition and fee rates for OSU can be found in the Schedule of Classes. You will be billed separately by each school, when participating in dual enrollment.

What are the add/drop and tuition refund deadlines?
OSU - You may add and drop courses through the first ten class days of each term. Add/drop fees will apply. The Tuition/Fee policies are published in the Schedule of Classes.

What are my payment options?
Please note that you are responsible for payment of charges at both institutions separately. Tuition payment options at OSU include:

• You may make your cash payment at the Cashier's Window in the Kerr Administration Building.
• You may mail a check in the return envelope that comes with your monthly statement.
• Drop boxes are located at the OSU Bookstore and in the Kerr Administration Building. Please insert the payment in the return envelope. Drop box payments must be made by the 10th of every month to avoid interest charges.

When will I be billed?
OSU - Monthly statements will be mailed around the 20th of each month detailing all charges, credits, and payments to your account for the previous 30 days. Inquiry of your account through telephone, kiosk, or the Web will include fees/charges assessed to your account.

If there appears to be an error on your monthly statement, contact Business Affairs Student Accounts, 100 Kerr Administration Building, (541) 737-3031

What if I cannot pay by the payment deadline?
OSU - The amount due on your statement becomes past due on the 11th of each month. Balances remaining on the 11th of the month will be assessed interest at the rates of 1 percent per month (12 percent APR) and may be subject to collection fees. If you are enrolled for the current term, you will be allowed to register for the following term only if your account balance does not exceed $2200. If you are not currently enrolled, you must have your account balance paid in full in order to register. Requests for official transcripts will be denied until your account balance is paid in full.
