Students need to be in at least six (6) credits to be eligible for most sources of financial aid, with some types of aid requiring full time enrollment of 12 or more credits.

*If you are at less than full-time status in any term, let the Financial Aid Office know. If your enrollment status is different than what your aid is set for, the release of your aid might be held.

Late Fees and Interest Charges

Late fees and interest will be charged to all student accounts (including students receiving financial aid and/or VA benefits) with unpaid balances after the payment due date (end of the second week of the term). However, late fees do not apply to students on a payment plan who make all payments by the payment plan due dates. For payment plan due dates, see the Cashier's Calendar here. In the case of a student receiving VA benefits who has paid all non-VA covered charges by the payment due date (end of the second week of the term), the late fee and interest will be removed once payment that clears the balance is received as long as the certification deadline (end of the second week of the term) was met. Contact the Cashier’s Office at cashier@oit.edu for help calculating amounts that will not be covered by the VA (please include which VA benefits you are expecting to receive).
