Costs and Tuition

  See the Bursar’s Oklahoma State University Tuition and Fees. NOTE: Online courses might cost more than a traditional class. Online courses assess an online fee. This fee helps offset the cost of video production and computer related costs.
• Is financial aid available?
  Yes. Financial aid applies to online learning classes just like classes taken on campus. Information on financial aid, scholarship opportunities and loans are available through the OSU Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
• How will I be billed for my classes?
  All OSU courses are billed through the Office of the Bursar. The Bursar office provides a monthly billing statement on the last business day of every month detailing charges and payments that occurred during that month. Statement notifications are emailed monthly to the student’s okstate email address as well as to authorized users. Billing statements are not mailed to home address. Use your O-Key username and password to view your bursar account, make a payment or payment plans, manage your deposits and refunds.
