Student Billing

A student incurs financial obligation when they enroll in classes. If a student wants to withdraw, they must officially withdraw by contacting the Registrar’s Office or Student Success Center. Not attending classes is not considered a withdrawal for billing purposes and students will remain financially responsible for all billed charges.

Students with financial obligations to the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma are not eligible to enroll in the subsequent term and will not be issued a diploma until the debt has been resolved in the Business Office. 

Billing Information

  1. All charges applied to a student’s account must be paid in full on or before the first day of classes, unless the student has enrolled in an approved payment plan.

  2. Late payment (payment after the first day of classes) will require payment in full of the regular fees and tuition amounts plus a $25 monthly Late Payment Fee.

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