Financial Obligations and Expenses

Students with financial obligations to Science & Arts are not eligible to receive the services of the university and will not be issued transcripts or diplomas. These students are not eligible for further enrollment until the debt has been resolved in the Business Office.

Science & Arts does not have any policies that penalize in any way a VA beneficiary for delayed payment by the VA. Science & Arts will not charge out-of-state tuition to any students living in Oklahoma that are utilizing Chapter 30, Chapter 31, Chapter 33 or Chapter 35 VA education benefits.

Delinquent accounts will be subject to additional costs, such as collection and legal fees, interest, and any other approved costs of collection.

General enrollment fees and nonresident tuition and other fees are due on or prior to the first day of class.

Special arrangements for deferred payment must be approved and documented with the Business Office.
For convenience, the Business Office accepts Discover Card, VISA, MasterCard, and American Express for full or installment payments.

Refund of Fees and Tuition

A student incurs financial obligation at the time of enrollment for classes. If a student wants to withdraw, he or she must officially withdraw in person or by letter. Not attending class is not a withdrawal and the student is still financially responsible for the charges. Science & Arts complies with current federal and state withdrawal/refund policies.

Students who add or drop a class or completely withdraw from the institution during the add/drop period will receive full credit on their bill for courses dropped or full charges for courses added. No refunds will be made after the add/drop period for that session.

Refund of Room and Board

In accordance with signed food and housing contract. View an updated housing contract on the Student Services page.

Guaranteed Tuition Rate Program

The Oklahoma Legislature passed a law (House Bill 3397) requiring that a new student be given the opportunity to choose to participate in the Guaranteed Tuition Rate Program. At the time of first enrollment, a full-time undergraduate student who is a resident of Oklahoma can now choose to pay a guaranteed tuition rate ($254/hr for 2023-24) based on the projected average for the next four years – as an option to the regular annual rate ($221/hr for 2023-24). The guaranteed annual rate is available only to students meeting the criteria. A listing of criteria and all applicable rules is available at the Science & Arts Business Office or on the Science & Arts website. The guaranteed rate applies only to tuition charges and does not cover mandatory or course-specific fees.

Disbursement of Books and Supplies Policy

Science & Arts does not allow students to charge books or supplies to their bill unless they have enough financial aid to cover their bill and receive a refund. Students will only be allowed to charge up to the amount of refund they would have received from their financial aid. Students must physically go to the Business Office, Troutt Hall 220, to receive a book and supplies voucher.
