Payments for tuition/fees, meal plans, room and board and other charges may be made in the Bursar's Office by mail, Visa & MasterCard payments may be made in person, by phone, or online at http://www.osu-okmulgee.edu/campus_community/web_4_students/. Financial Aid and sponsor payments are also accepted. The Bursar's Office hours are 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, and Fridays 7:30 AM to 4:30PM, except for official university holidays.

The Bursar's Office bills students several times each semester. The student is solely responsible for his/her account. The student must provide the Bursar's Office with correct sponsor (Vocational Rehabilitation, American Indian Tribe, WIA agency, Workers' Compensation) information to ensure his/her account is properly paid. All unpaid balances remain the responsibility of the student. A finance charge of 1.0% per month will be assessed on past due balances.

All charges for the current semester must be paid in full prior to enrollment in a future term. In addition, all charges must be paid in full before receiving a diploma, a transcript or other records. Non-payment of any charges could result in litigation or collection procedures. Any charges incurred by the University to collect delinquent account balances will be the responsibility of the student. Delinquent account information is disclosed to credit-reporting agencies, which could endanger your credit rating.

Payment Policies

Residential housing charges will only be allowed after students provide a copy of their award letter to the housing office. After the aid has been disbursed, any remaining housing charges are the responsibility of the student. These charges must be paid by the first business day of the second month of the semester.

Books, tools, and supplies should be purchased at the Bookstore, located in the Student Union. No books may be charged after the second week of the semester. Interns who are off-campus until the second eight weeks may charge books and supplies only for the first week they are back on campus. Students needing books after these cut-off dates will need to pay for them at the Bookstore.

The student's financial aid will be applied automatically to his/her account; however, it is the student's responsibility to ensure his/her account is correct. Any remaining charge balance remains the responsibility of the student. Refunds of excess aid funds should be picked up at the Bursar's Office. Any checks not picked up within 10 days will be mailed to the address on file.

Fees/tuition, room and board are due before the term begins. Students may charge only books at the Bookstore. Interns beginning classes the second eight weeks of the semester will be allowed two weeks upon their return to pay the balance of their housing charges.

A student may deposit personal funds into his/her account at the Bursar's Office for later use.

The Bursar's Office will cash personal checks up to $50.00 and the Bookstore will cash checks up to $25.00 for current students. No two-party checks will be cashed. A service charge of $20.00 will be charged for each check returned by the student's bank for any reason. If a student has repeated returned checks, the Bursar's Office may revoke check-cashing privileges. Returned checks not picked up within 10 days of notification will be turned over to the District Attorney's Office for collection.

A full-time student may withdraw through the second week of classes with a full refund of fees and tuition. A full refund of fees and tuition will be made for any individual course(s) dropped within the first two weeks of the semester.

If a resident student withdraws during the first semester of a two-semester contract, he/she must buy out the second semester contract at the rate of $1.00 per day, not to exceed $100.00.

For courses with less than a 15-week duration, the student should check with the Registrar's Office for a refund schedule. Application fees are not refunded.

A full refund of fees and tuition will be given if the course is dropped prior to the first class meeting. No refund will be given after the first class meeting.
