Billing, Payment and Refunds
Billing
All billing for currently enrolled students is processed electronically through MyBill. MyBill statements are processed on the fifth day of each month for students who have current activity resulting in an account balance or credit. Students are sent an email to their ONID email account when their statement is ready to view and can then view their MyBill statement online.
Accounts are "due upon receipt" of the email notification, and any unpaid balance remaining after the 1st of each month is subject to an interest charge of 1% per month (12% APR). You are responsible for paying tuition and fees by the deadline even if you do not view the billing statement. Refer to the drop/withdraw refunds schedule to determine financial repercussions of withdrawing or dropping courses.
Calendar of important billing dates
The student account services calendar is a must-have resource that will keep you aware of when bills are due, when you'll receive new billing statements, when financial aid and scholarship funds are released each term, and other key dates.
Acceptable payment methods
OSU currently accepts eCheck, paper checks, money orders and cash as acceptable payment methods. Students can use Online Services as a convenience option for making credit card payments. Payment plans are also available for current students. Please see the Cashier's Office student billing webpage for more details regarding all acceptable payment methods or payment plans.

If you have questions about these payment options, contact the Student Accounts department directly at 541-737-3775 or Ecampus Student Services at 800-667-1465 (select option 1).
Refunds and late registration fees
Refunds
You are financially responsible for all courses for which you register. If you drop a class after the term begins, you may receive a partial refund of your tuition and fees. For your possible tuition refund when dropping or withdrawing from a class, please refer to the academic calendar and the drop/withdraw refunds schedule.
Requesting a refund
If you feel that you have a legitimate, documented reason to petition for a refund of Ecampus tuition and fees, contact the Ecampus student services at 800-667-1465 (option 1) or via email for instructions and assistance with this formal process.
Requests for refunds for all courses must be in writing. Refunds are granted in accordance with OSU Academic Regulations 11 and 12. 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. Read more about withdrawing for the term.
Refund processing
Refunds will be processed as a credit on your account. A check will be issued to you for any remaining credit balance after accounts receivable and financial aid repayments have been satisfied. 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 Beaver Hub.
For more information about your refund or refund check, please contact Ecampus student services at 800-667-1465 (option 1) or via email.
Late registration fees
Late registration fees – $50 and $100
A late registration fee of $50 will be assessed for all initial registrations during the first two weeks of classes. Initial registration after the second week of classes will be assessed a late fee of $100.
Registration change – $20 per course added
You will be charged a $20 fee to add classes after Week 2 of the term. There is no charge to change registration during the add/drop period: add, drop, withdraw from a course, change credits, change grade option or change to audit. The course fee to audit a course is the same as regular fees in all classes. Please note that late registration fees still apply.
For more information on fees, please visit the OSU Catalog tuition, fees and payment webpage.
