• Fee & Tuition Refund Policy

  Fee and tuition refunds are made to those students who withdraw completely from OSU Institute of Technology in accordance with Oklahoma State Regents policy. For more information, please see our refund policy.

  Total Fees & Tuition will be reduced by:

  • 100% if proper withdrawal is made during the first 2 weeks of each 16 week term
  • No reduction after the 2nd week of the semester
  • Fee and tuition refunds also may be made for individual courses dropped within the first two weeks of the semester for full semester courses. The above refund schedules apply to full-semester courses. For courses of shorter duration, check with the Office of Admissions for refund schedule.

  Noncredit courses dropped prior to the first class meeting will be fully refunded. No refund will be given after the first class meeting.

  Refunds to financial aid recipients who withdraw from school during the refund period must be returned to the appropriate financial aid accounts. Students may also be required to repay a portion of the financial aid received.

  Refunds will be made to financial aid accounts in the following order:

  • Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Federal PLUS Loan
  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal SEOG Grant
  • Other SFA Programs
  • Other Federal, State, Private, or Institutional aid programs
  • The Student

  Examples of Student Financial Aid Refund and Repayment calculations are available in Student Financial Services.

  Students who are attending OSU Institute of Technology for the first time and who are receiving student financial aid, will be eligible for a pro rata refund based upon federal regulations and OSU Institute of Technology written policies. A pro rata refund must also be refunded to the appropriate financial aid accounts.

  Also, students with courses scheduled to meet less than the full semester will have adjusted refund periods based on the beginning date and length of the individual course(s).

• What expenses might I have that cannot be included?

  Housing and meals is an allowance for the student only during periods of enrollment (fall, spring, and/or summer semesters). Students who have dependents, such as a spouse or children, cannot include the housing and meals costs of those dependents in the housing and meals allowance. These costs are actually taken into account when the Expected Family Contribution is calculated off the results of a student's FAFSA.
  
  Car payments cannot be included because purchase costs of a vehicle (which would include car loan payments) are specifically prohibited from being included in the COA. (An allowance for car insurance and maintenance is provided for in the Travel/ Transportation component of the COA.)
  
  Refundable deposits for housing or utilities cannot be included, nor can debt on a credit card, job search costs or Greek membership fees and associated costs.
  
  This list is not comprehensive; please contact the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid if you are not sure whether some of your educational costs are included in the components described above.
