Matriculation Fee: $300.00New students will be charged a one-time only fee of $300.00 for undergraduates and $205.00 for graduates at the start of their first term to cover the cost of pre-enrollment services. These services include, but are not limited to, campus open houses, new-student orientation programs, special advising services for transfer and extension students, course drop/add/withdrawal, and official transcripts. A partial refund of this fee may be available for undergraduates if a student withdraws from OSU during the add/drop period ($200 is nonrefundable).
Advance Tuition Deposit: $200.00New undergraduate students will be requested to submit a tuition deposit of $200.00 after being admitted to the university.

Fee Payment ObligationWeb registration presents you with a confirmed class schedule. When you finish registering, your schedule is official. 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 the Tuition/Fee Reduction and Refund Schedule at http://oregonstate.edu/fa/businessaffairs/studentfinance/tuition/tuition_info.
Electronic billing statements are processed around the 5th of each month. Notification that your statement is ready will be sent to your ONID e-mail address. 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 e-mail forwarded to an alternate address. eBill statements can be viewed online at https://admtn.ucsadm.oregonstate.edu/tbp/web/login.jsp. See "eBill and eCheck" at http://oregonstate.edu/fa/businessaffairs/studentfinance/eBill/.
You may pay your tuition and fees in the following ways:
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).
Registration/Transcript Hold PolicyIf you are enrolled for the current term, you will be allowed to register for the following term only if your account balance consists of charges only from recent academic terms–the current term and one term prior–and your overall account balance does not exceed $2,200.00. If you are not currently enrolled, you must have your account balance paid in full in order to register.
Requests for transcripts cannot be processed until your account balance is paid in full.

Drop/Withdraw RefundsStudents who drop or withdraw from a class, or withdraw from the university may be eligible for a tuition refund. Refunds are based on assessed tuition, course fees, and mandatory fees, and are calculated from the date you officially drop, withdraw, or cancel your registration or reduce your class load, not the last date of class attendance. Please see "Registration Cancellation/Withdrawal from the University."
Refunds are processed as a credit on your account. A check will be issued to you if any credit balance remains after other charges and financial aid repayments have been satisfied. No refunds are authorized for persons paying staff rates. Allow about two weeks for processing a refund. Your refund will be sent to your current mailing address. Be sure to update your current mailing address online in Student Online Services.

Payment of Student Fees
Payment of Nonresident Instruction Fee (580-10-080)
- All students classified as nonresidents shall pay a nonresident fee.
- Refunds of the nonresident fee may be granted if the student shows that the classification previously assigned was in error, but no such refund shall be made unless the student applies and submits all supporting information for residency status prior to the last day to register for the term in which the student seeks change of status.
Enrollment of Spouse and Dependent Children (580-010-086)The spouse and dependent children of regular department staff members with a full-time equivalent of at least .50 may enroll as students at resident fee rates in department institutions.
Student Exchanges (580-010-085)
- (a) Under the WICHE student exchange program, certification of students as Oregon residents for purposes of attending institutions not under board control or in other states shall be guided by rules set forth in Division 10. In order to be considered for WICHE certification, the student's completed application must be received by the certifying officer on or before October 15 of the year preceding admission. An application received after that date in an envelope postmarked not later than October 15 will be deemed to have been received on the 15th. Residency shall be determined as of the date of the application for WICHE certification, not as of the date of expected admission or registration to an institution.
(b) Persons applying for WICHE certification must be certified as Oregon residents and placed in ranked preference order within each program. Ranked preference order is determined by a score based on the grade point average of all college work plus .25 times the number of years of residence in Oregon up to a maximum of ten years.
- (a) The department and separate institutions may enter into agreements with individual institutions in other states or other countries whereby resident students specified by name in the Oregon institutions may transfer to the other institution, and an equal number of students specified by name from the other institution may transfer to the Oregon institution with a reciprocal waiving of additional fees ordinarily assessed to nonresident students in both institutions.
