Consequences of Late Payments
Payment in full of your total balance due will avoid assessment of a 1.5 percent monthly late payment penalty.
Student accounts must be paid in full by the established payment due dates to be eligible to register during the next registration period. Online transcripts, diplomas or other statements of record will be withheld and students will be ineligible to enroll and/or continue to be enrolled in future semesters until the obligations have been fulfilled.
Financial Aid Recipients
Grants, scholarships and loans are reflected on your student account and deducted from any university allowable charges provided all financial aid requirements are met. If your student account has an amount due, it is important for you to pay by the payment due date.
If you have an amount due and your financial aid is not reflected on your student account yet, you must pay your student account balance by the payment due date or enroll in a payment plan and make the scheduled installments.
Any late payment penalties assessed are the responsibility of the student and will not be paid by financial aid.
Students who have not paid their student account balance in full by the established payment due dates may be canceled from all classes and university housing (if applicable).
Students who are canceled from classes will have their tuition charges reversed. Students who are canceled from housing will have their charges adjusted according to University Housing's terms and conditions. Students who are canceled from housing and re-register for 1 or more credit must contact University Housing to reapply for housing as space is available.
If you’re canceled because your current semester charges have not been paid in full, you can re-register for classes (based on class availability). If you’re canceled because your past semester charges have not been paid in full, you can re-register (based on class availability) once the prior balance is paid in full.
Learn more about payments and cancellation.
To view information about important dates, to access class schedules when available and to register for classes, visit the Office of the Registrar website.
You may pay your student account balance online through eBill. You will need your NetID (OU email user ID) and password. The account will be credited immediately when paying by eBill.
Please remember that Student Accounts past due holds will be removed 5-10 minutes after paying the amount due. Partial payments will be reflected in the hold amount within 24 hours.
Students who do not have a current address on file may not receive an official 1098-T or other university mailings. Therefore, students who are missing an address will have a hold placed on the account which will prevent enrollment verification, graduation and obtaining transcripts and grades online. See instructions on how to change your address.
U.S. students who do not have a Social Security number on file may be issued an incorrect form 1098-T. Therefore students, who are missing an SSN will have a hold placed on the account which will prevent enrollment verification, graduation and obtaining transcripts and grades online. See instructions on how to send us your SSN in our Tax Information section.
See the complete list of holds that may be placed on a student’s account and contact information.

Students are responsible for payment of all tuition and other charges assessed to their student account, as published on the Payment and Cancellation page of the Student Financial Services website The University will first apply all payments received to the oldest outstanding balances, if applicable, then to the current semester charges.
