Tuition, Fees and Cost Estimates

Tuition, Fees and Cost Estimates Tuition and Fees It is important that students carefully consider the total cost of financing their education, from the entering term to the completion of their degree. If financial help will be needed beyond those funds which the student or the family is able to provide, the student should make the necessary applications for financial assistance well in advance of enrollment. Students should pay particular attention to early deadlines for application for grants, scholarships, work-study positions, and Perkins Loans. While the needs and resources of each student differ, the University can provide a general list of fees and expenses normally encountered. Students are given information at the time they complete their enrollment on the procedures and deadlines for payment of tuition and fees. (See "Financial Obligation (p. 31)" in the “Bursar (p. 31)” section of this Catalog.) The required tuition and mandatory fees for resident and nonresident students at Oklahoma State University are listed to the right. Resident and nonresident tuition rates are based on the undergraduate and graduate level of the course. All course offerings are listed by four-digit numbers with the first digit indicating the course level. Undergraduate courses are all courses with a first digit of 0 through 4. Graduate-division courses are all courses with the first digit 5 or above. New freshmen who are Oklahoma residents are given the opportunity at the time of enrollment to select a guaranteed tuition rate that is locked in for four years. To maintain this rate, students must remain continuously enrolled as full-time students. The lock tuition rate is included in the undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees grid and detailed information is provided on the Office of the Bursar website at bursar.okstate.edu/lock- tuition-program (http://bursar.okstate.edu/lock-tuition-program). For the most recent student costs refer to the Office of the Bursar website at http://bursar.okstate.edu/tuition-and-fees. Included in this section is information regarding fee definitions, refund policies, and residential life rates. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice, as provided by the University Board of Regents and OSRHE policies. Starting fall 2014, OSU implemented a new block rate that includes tuition and University-wide fees for undergraduate students taking 12 to 18 credit hours. The “block” rate is one of OSU’s strategies to help students stay on target to finish college in 4 years. University-wide fees (also called mandatory fees) include: student activity fees, student facility fees, library automation and technology fee, health services fee, student development fee, Daily O’Collegian fee, academic records and maintenance fee, academic excellence fee, transit/parking services fee, advising/assessment fee, university technology infrastructure maintenance fee, academic facilities, life safety and security fee and student union renovation fee. Academic Service Fees such as specific course fees and/or college based fees are not included in the block rate and continue to be charged on a per-credit-hour basis. Additional block rate information is available at: blockrate.okstate.edu (http:// blockrate.okstate.edu).
