If a student is not an Ohio resident, this student will 

be charged out-of-state instructional and general fees. 

However, there are occasions when students who are not 

Ohio Residents are eligible for in-state instructional and 

general fees. To find out if a student is eligible for in-state 

rates, refer to Residency and/or Reciprocity in the Policies 

and Procedures section of this catalog. To be considered 

for in-state rates, a petition must be filed to determine 

eligibility. Petitions are available online at www.owens. 

edu (see page 79 for more information).

Payment of Fees 

A non-adjustable registration fee is assessed each semester. 

For all registered students, full payment of tuition and other fees must be 

made by established due dates. Each semester, due dates are available at 

the Office of the Bursar or online at www.owens.edu/bursar/. 

If a student registers after the payment due date, payment is due upon 

registration. Failure to make payment by the established due dates, the 

College reserves the right to withdraw the student from that semester of 

classes. 

A student will not be able to register for the future semester until all 

prior balances have been paid in full or payment arrangements have 

been made. Transcripts are withheld if all obligations to the College, 

financial or otherwise, are not fulfilled. 

Students receiving financial aid are advised to carefully review the 

financial aid information provided by the Financial Aid Office. Compliance 

with the deadlines will help ensure prompt receipt of financial aid, less 

any amount due to the College. 

Owens Community College accepts payment in the form of cash, checks, 

money orders, MasterCard, VISA, DISCOVER and AMEX credit cards. The 

College also accepts the above credit cards for credit card payments 

and check payments via the Internet. A $30 returned check fee may be 

assessed for any check returned unpaid by any bank. 

The College also enters into contracts to directly bill employers of Owens 

Community College students, or other third parties, for tuition and fees. 

For more information, contact the Office of the Bursar.

defer payment of tuition and fees over a four-month period for fall and 

spring semesters and a three-month period for summer semester.
