Student
Tuition and Fees
Eastern Oregon University has a standard tuition and fee schedule set each
year by the State Board of Higher Education. Tuition is established to provide
support for the cost of instruction and instruction support expenditures.
The fees included in this category are: Energy Surcharge Fee, Technology
Fee, Resource Fee, Building Fee, Health Insurance Fee, Health Service Fee,
and Incidental Fee.
Tuition and Fees are assessed each term just prior to classes beginning.
Class registration obligates students to receive grades and pay tuition
and fees. Students who decide not to attend EOU prior to paying their tuition
and fees may cancel their registration by notifying the Registrar before
4:00 pm on the last day of classes before finals for the term in which they
are enrolled.
There is a $100 late registration fee if students are not registered
within the first fourteen days of the term.

Monthly
Billings
Invoices are mailed just prior to classes beginning each term and each month
therafter throughout the rest of the term. Account balances can be checked
on Webster and paid on-line or directly at the Student Accounts Office. Official
transcripts, diplomas or future services may not be received until payment
is made.
If a Billing Address is listed on your Webster account, any billing statements,
refund checks and all information from the Student Accounts Office will be
sent to that address. Otherwise, bills, refund checks and all other correspondence
from EOU will be sent to your mailing address. If you would like to add,
change or remove a billing address, call 541-962-3590 or email
cashier@eou.edu.
It is the students’ responsibility to notify this institution of any
name and/or address change occurring during their time of enrollment.
It is also the students’ responsibility to pay their tuition and fees,
regardless of the circumstances. Failure to receive a billing statement is
not an acceptable excuse for late payment. Interest charges and applicable
late fees will be assessed on past due accounts.
Third Party Billings such as Army National Guard, Veteran's Group, or TEC
may also be arranged at the Student Accounts Office.

Making
Payments
Payment or payment arrangements must be made within the FIRST FOURTEEN CALENDAR
DAYS of the current term.
A $100.00 late payment penalty may be assessed if payment is not made within
the first fourteen days. If you have a Revolving Charge Contract on your
student account, you may request the fee be waived if you are waiting for
financial aid, but only after your financial aid has disbursed to your student
account.
It is our policy in Student Accounts to waive a late payment penalty one
time only for any reason other than financial aid. In order to get this fee
waived, you must submit a Revolving Charge Contract and a 1/3 payment toward
your account.
Payment on accounts may be made at the Student Accounts Office by mail, phone,
or in person.
Credit or Debit Card Payment by: Visa, MasterCard, or Discover
Credit or Debit Card payments may also be made on-line through Webster.
Returned checks are subject to a $20.00 handling fee. Returned checks are
not automatically resubmitted. If you receive notice of a returned check
from your bank, please contact Student Accounts. If the payment was made
in order to remove a registration block, we may cancel your registration
for the term and place a block on your account to prevent future registration
until you have replaced the check with certified funds.

Late Registration Penalty
A late registration penalty of $100 will be charged to a student's account
for completing their initial registration after the fourteenth day of the
term. Students may add or drop classes subject to the published
EOU ADD/DROP policies if the initial registration is completed prior to
the 14th day.

Revolving
Charge Contract
A Revolving Charge Contract allows a student to make monthly payments on
an account. All prior term charges as well as 1/3 of the current term charges
must be paid before the fourteenth day of the current term. The remaining
balance is then due in full by the last day of classes in the current term.
Please note that interest will be charged each month on any unpaid balance
at a rate of one percent per month.
Only one form needs to be filed with the Student Accounts Office and remains
in effect throughout the student's enrollment at Eastern, or after three
years of no account activity.
To submit a Revolving Charge Contract, fax it to (541) 962-3872 or
mail it to EOU Student Accounts, One University Boulevard, La Grande, OR
97850. You may check to see if your Revolving Charge Contract has
been received by logging onto your Webster account and going to your Account
Summary by Term.

Financial
Aid Disbursement to Account (here)
All authorized EOU financial aid and scholarships, once received by the

Alternative loans or outside scholarships may not be disbursed onto a student's
account until requested by phone, email or by the student at the Student

check be automatically mailed to them each term by signing up for the "Automatic

The Student Accounts Office will automatically
mail any unclaimed refunds for students enrolled in 6 or more credits at
EOU within ten days following the receipt of funds. All checks will be sent
to the student's billing or mailing address on file at the Registrar's Office.

Webster account or with the
Registrar's Office.

need to call or email the Student Accounts Office at cashier@eou.edu to request
a refund check.

Plus Loan Refunds
Federal law requires
that any excess PLUS Loan funds be returned to the parent. Therefore,
once we have determined that the PLUS loan created a credit balance,
the refund
will be mailed to the parent. The loans will first cover all tuition
and fees, book charges, and any unpaid charges on the student’s
account. The credit balance will be mailed to the lending parent’s
address on file with the Office of Financial Aid, within 10 days of receipt.
To request funds be mailed earlier, parents or students may notify
the Student
Accounts Office.
If a parent would like to request that any excess PLUS Loan funds to be released to their student, or returned to the lending bank, please complete and return a Plus Loan Release Authorization to the Student Accounts Office.

Important
Notice to Financial Aid Recipients who decide to completely withdraw
from school
|
Students who
withdraw or stop attending prior to completing 60% of a term have not earned
100% of the federal financial aid received. The student will be required to
return the portion of unearned financial aid. The student will also owe the
institution any penalty upon withdrawal in accordance with the tuition refund
schedule Current Term Dates and Deadlines.
It is recommended that financial aid recipients try to complete at least one
class, if possible to avoid returning their financial aid. This applies to
Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans and Federal Grants. If you must completely withdraw,
it is your responsibility to understand your financial obligation. We recommend
you discuss the issue with a financial aid counselor before withdrawing from
Eastern.
