Tuition information
GTA/GRA can be applied to Ecampus courses
Ecampus credits are viewed as no different than on-campus courses and count toward reaching full-time enrollment (12 credits) for graduate students. Similarly, Ecampus courses will count toward full-time enrollment status for graduate scholarships, fellowships and scholarship/fellowship tuition relief programs.
Please note the information below regarding enrollment requirements for graduate students appointed as graduate assistants for summer term.
- A graduate student who is appointed as a graduate assistant (GRA/GTA) in summer term must enroll in a minimum of 3 credits, per the minimum enrollment policy.
- There may be income tax on salary for graduate students appointed as graduate assistants in summer term who are enrolled in less than 5 credits. Contact payroll or your tax professional with any questions regarding potential tax implications.
- A graduate student who is appointed as a graduate assistant in summer term may enroll in a maximum of 16 credits. The tuition remission for a graduate assistant appointment covers a maximum of 16 credits per term. Any cost for credits beyond 16 are not covered by the remission and must be paid by the student.
- Changes in registration for summer GRA/GTA appointments beyond the final add date will not be allowed.
Other fees
Once you have been admitted to OSU as a degree-seeking student, there are initial fees that will be required:
Advance tuition deposit (ATD)
To confirm your intent to enroll as an undergraduate degree-seeking student with Oregon State Ecampus, you must submit the advance tuition deposit (ATD) form along with your $200 deposit, as this allows us to create your student account.
Remember (fall term only): Payment for your advance tuition deposit is required of all undergraduate degree-seeking students. This will allow you to register for fall term classes. As of May 1, your deposit is nonrefundable.
For all other terms, the ATD is refundable up to three weeks before the start of the term.
If you are a transfer student, paying your ATD will initiate a transcript evaluation by the Office of Admissions.
For Degree Partnership Program (DPP) students: Payment for your advance tuition deposit is required once you have been admitted. Your status will remain active provided you enroll in a class at OSU within the next 10 terms. The deposit will be applied to your OSU account in the term of registration.
Some students may qualify for ATD exemptions. Postbaccalaureate students are not required to submit the ATD.
Learn more about the advance tuition deposit and how to submit your payment.
Matriculation fee
All new students (except nondegree seeking) are charged a one-time matriculation fee at the start of their first term at OSU.
| Undergraduate matriculation fee | $350 |
| Graduate matriculation fee | $350 |
