Payment Obligation

Please note that registration incurs an obligation to pay fees.

After you register, tuition and fees will be posted to your student account. Tuition and fees are charged based on the total credits for which you register during the summer, not the number of credits during each individual session. Student account statements are produced at the beginning of each month. Unpaid balances remaining after the 1st of the following month become past due and will be assessed an interest charge of 1% (12% APR). Past due balances may prevent future access to registration and transcripts.

Fee Payment Obligation

Web registration presents you with a confirmed class schedule. When you finish registering, your schedule is official and you are officially registered in the university. This obligates you to pay all tuition and fees for your classes. If you wish to cancel this commitment and reduce or eliminate tuition charges for the term, you must officially cancel your registration or withdraw from the university (see Tuition/Fee Reduction & Refund Schedule).

Electronic billing statements are sent out around the 5th of each month. Notification that your statement is ready will be sent to your ONID email address. Statements can be viewed online at mybill.oregonstate.edu. It is very important that your ONID address is active and that you are checking it regularly. You may also select to have your ONID email forwarded to an alternate address.

OSU currently accepts eCheck, paper checks, money orders and cash as acceptable payment methods. Students can use Student Online Services as a convenience option for making credit card payments. Please see the Cashier's Office Payment Information Section for more details regarding all acceptable payment methods.

Financial Aid/Scholarship Refunds

On July 2nd and 3rd, refunds will be automatically processed for students who have refunds due as a result of authorized financial aid being applied to their accounts as of July 1st. Students receiving paper checks will have their refunds mailed to their current mailing address on record. Students who have active direct deposit will have their refunds direct deposited to their bank account.

After July 3rd, refunds will only be issued at the student's request or through our weekly refund process. Requests can be made by emailing refund@orst.edu or by stopping by the Cashier’s Office in Kerr. Checks are either mailed to the student’s current mailing address or direct deposited depending on which option the student has chosen. There is no check pickup. Complete information on requesting refunds is available online at Business Affairs.
