Credit Card Payment FAQs

Yes. Credit card payments are only accepted online. OSUIT does not accept credit card payments by mail, in person, over the phone, email, or via fax for bursar account payments. Credit card payments are not processed by OSUIT. A secure third-party payment service provider, TouchNet, processes online credit card payments for tuition and other bursar account charges.

You may make bursar account payments with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit cards. Additionally, other cards accepted are Diners Club, JCB, BC Card, and DinaCard.

Card users are assessed a separate, non-refundable convenience fee of 2.85% of the payment amount ($3 minimum fee)—at the time of each credit or debit card payment for student account charges. The non-refundable convenience fee is assessed by our third-party processor, not OSUIT, and will be included with your total payment amount on your credit card statement. For checking or savings account debits, please use the e-check option to avoid paying the convenience fee.

The costs associated with processing credit cards continues to grow each year, and the University wants to continue to offer the option to pay by credit card. Unfortunately, Oklahoma State cannot absorb these costs. In order to address a $1.5 million annual drain on its budget, Oklahoma State University made changes November 2011 in the way credit card payments were accepted for bursar accounts by passing the cost of the credit card convenience fee along to those using the service. The convenience fee charged by our third party processor, TouchNet, covers the cost of processing credit and debit card payments. OSU does not receive any part of the convenience fee.

The convenience fee is assessed by our third-party processor, not OSUIT, so it will not appear on your bursar account. Two separate transactions appear on your credit card statement. One transaction for the student account payment and one transaction for the convenience fee.

Yes. Many other private and public universities have been charging credit card convenience fees for quite some time.

The 2.85% ($3.00 minimum) convenience fee is non-refundable, even if the payment to which it relates is canceled, refunded, credited or charged back.

Any convenience fee disputes must be taken directly to your credit card company.
