Resident-Nonresident Status

In most instances, a student who has moved to Oregon primarily to attend school will be considered a nonresident for tuition purposes. To be classified as a resident, a person must basically be financially independent of his or her out-of-state parents or legal guardians, reside in Oregon for 12 consecutive months, and be primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a student.

If a student is dependent on his or her parents or legal custodian/guardian, and the parents or legal custodian/guardian move to Oregon, they (the parents/guardians) must meet the Oregon resident requirements before the dependent student can be considered for Oregon resident classification.

International students are not eligible to seek residency for tuition paying purposes, unless they have been granted permanent resident or immigrant status and have been in the state 12 months after the permanent resident status was approved and be primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a student. The above requirements then apply.

Note: During summer session residents and nonresidents pay the same tuition and fees.

For more detailed information regarding residency requirements, please contact the Office of Admissions.

Resource Fees

Students admitted to certain degree programs are assessed resource fees in addition to tuition.

Go to the OSU Business Office Web site at http://oregonstate.edu/fa/businessaffairs/, click on Student Finance, then Student Accounts, then Tuition & Fees, then choose Resource Fees.

Matriculation Fee

All new graduate degree- and certificate-seeking students will be charged a $205 matriculation fee during their first term of enrollment.

Service Fee for International Programs

A $225 per term administrative management fee will be charged for international students supported under contractual arrangement with sponsoring agencies or entities requiring special administrative or management services beyond those normally provided. This program and finance fee will be assessed for these international student programs that are administered and managed by the International Student and Faculty Services office.

Other Fees

Archiving. All doctoral candidates pay a minimum fee of $65 for archiving of the doctoral dissertation.

Obligation to Pay

You are financially responsible for all courses for which you register. The university will automatically bill you. You will receive a monthly statement that is generated around the 5th of each month on which charges will be reported.

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.

Accounts are "due upon receipt" of the monthly statement, and any unpaid balance remaining after the 1st of each month is subject to an interest charge of 1% per month (12% APR).
