| SOU Catalog Home >> Tuition and Fees | |
All persons who attend classes at Southern Oregon University must pay applicable fees.Tuition, fees, and deposits in all the state institutions of higher education are charged according to a uniform plan, varying on different campuses according to differences in conditions, nature of work offered, or fluctuations in the cost of materials, supplies, and equipment. The State Board of Higher Education reserves the right to make changes in the schedule following state notice requirements.

Nongraduate Student1,078 3,234 The above schedule displays actual tuition and fees for 1999_2000. The figures include approximately $238 a term in other mandatory fees. The final tuition schedule for 2000_2001 will be available from the Office of the Registrar after August 1, 2000.
Oregon taxpayers assist with underwriting higher education through support of operating costs, classrooms, laboratories, and other facilities. The total yearly taxpayer expense for all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at Southern Oregon University is approximately $3,933 per full-time student, based on SOU's 1999_2000 general fund quota.
The fee schedule lists the regular fees paid by all students under the usual conditions. These fees entitle students to use the University library, laboratory equipment, the computer lab, materials in connection with courses for which students are registered, and the gymnasium facilities when available. Students are also entitled to outpatient medical attention and advice at the Student Health & Wellness Center and to all other services maintained for the benefit of students. No reduction of fees is made to students who may prefer not to use some of these privileges.Note: In certain classes, additional fees may be charged for equipment, materials, or services required as part of course instruction. Such fees are published in the class schedule each term and are payable with regular fees. For certain courses, students may be required to provide or obtain proof of medical insurance coverage.
Fee Payment Policies
Students are encouraged to pay all charges in full at the onset of the quarter to avoid late fees or penalties. If payment in full cannot be made prior to the beginning of classes, students may be eligible to use SOU's Revolving Charge Account Plan to extend payment deadlines for full payment of tuition.In addition to the Revolving Charge Account Plan, there are various other ways to pay, including VISA or MasterCard (by phone or in person) and check or money order (by mail or in person). Students may deposit fee payment checks or money orders at the cashier windows in Churchill Hall, or in one of the many drop boxes located around campus. SOU also offers registration and fee payment via the telephone registration system. Simply call 1-800-552-TREG and follow the prompts.
Students receiving grants, loans, or scholarships are expected to use those funds to cover tuition and fees and may be ineligible for the Revolving Charge Account Plan unless financial aid is insufficient to cover all tuition, fees, and related expenses. SOU also offers the direct deposit of financial aid to students' checking or savings accounts, which eliminates the need to pick up aid in person.
Tuition is due upon registration for classes. Participation in special programs may require specific fees. For example, study abroad or exchange programs may charge administrative fees. Students who decide not to attend classes for which they have registered must formally withdraw, or else they are expected to pay the tuition due. Students must notify the Office of the Registrar about cancellation of preregistration and upon withdrawal from any or all classes. Students who do not notify the registrar may be liable for payment of tuition assessed for classes not attended.
Although we would prefer not to use such measures, SOU has the right to suspend the extension of credit and services; to withhold grade reports, transcripts, and graduation; and to deny or cancel registration of any student who has not paid or made arrangements to pay by designated payment deadlines. The right to extension of services may also be in jeopardy if students are in debt to any institution within the Oregon University System.
Students are advised to consult the class schedule each term for specific payment deadlines and changes in fee policies. Business services staff (located in Churchill Hall, room 150) are always available to assist with particular circumstances or problems related to meeting any payment.
There are a variety of ways to pay. Complete statements of University Fee Policies and Payment Plans are available in business services. Please ask a staff member for copies or an explanation of anything you do not understand.
Revolving Charge Account Plan
Students are encouraged to obtain a copy of the Revolving Charge Account Plan from business services. This plan, set out fully in Oregon Administrative Rule 57315010, is summarized below:A. Any person who incurs charges, fines, or penalties at SOU establishes a Revolving Charge Account Plan (Plan) and, by default, agrees to its terms and conditions.
B. To use the Plan for the payment of tuition and fees, students must have paid any past due or noncurrent charges in full.
C. The Plan is designed to allow students to extend the time they have to pay current term charges. Instead of paying in full at the onset of the term, students may pay only the first third of tuition, the first half of residence hall charges, together with all other fees and charges by the initial due date in the term. The remainder of the account balance must be paid by the first day of the last month of the term — December 1 for fall, March 1 for winter, and June 1 for spring.
D. Students may formally request use of the Plan in one of two ways: (1) contact business services to receive an agreement to sign or (2) make the minimum payment allowed using one of the ways to pay cited above. Making the minimum payment indicates intent to use the Plan and willingness to abide by its terms and conditions. Students are still required to sign the Revolving Charge Account Plan Agreement since it discloses the terms and conditions of the Plan in full detail.
E. There is a $15 nonrefundable service charge each term for use of the Plan. Should the account become past due, nine percent per annum interest is assessed on past due balances.
F. Course fees, application fees, and the like may not be deferred under the plan. The Revolving Charge Account Plan is intended to extend the time allowable to pay tuition and residence hall fees only.
G. Past due accounts not paid in full by the onset of the next term may be subject to a 15 percent collection charge. We urge students to be mindful of all payment due dates.
We are here to help! Any questions or concerns should be addressed to business services. Visit us at the cashier windows in Churchill Hall, or call 541-5526311.
Part-Time Tuition and Fees
Instead of paying regular registration fees, undergraduate students who register for a maximum of 11 credits pay a part-time fee proportional to the applicable full-time fee. Graduate students who register for a maximum of 8 credits pay a proportional share of the applicable graduate full-time fee.Students taking a maximum of 8 credits are assessed tuition and fees on the basis of course level rather than student status. These students may pay an additional fee if they wish to receive outpatient health services from the Student Health & Wellness Center.
Overload Fee
Undergraduate students are required to pay an overload fee for each credit in excess of 18. Graduate students must pay an overload fee for each credit in excess of 16 credits.
Application Fee: $50

Upon approval of the employee's immediate supervisor and the president or executive head, staff members may register any term for a limited number of credits (generally not more than 10) at staff rates. To be eligible for these rates, staff must be employed at least half time.Late Payment Fee: maximum $100 a term
Students making payment after the scheduled fee payment dates of any term pay a late payment fee of $25 for the first day and $1 for each additional day. Students registered for 8 credits or less are assessed a late payment fee of $25 the first day and 50 cents for each additional day. This fee is nonrefundable. Maximum late fees are $100 a term combined for students registered for 9 or more credits, and $50 a term combined for students registered for 8 or fewer credits. If payments are made with a check that is returned due to an irregularity for which the student is responsible (e.g., NSF, illegible signature, or improper bank account number), a fine of up to $20 is charged. In addition, if the returned check was used to pay tuition, late charges are also assessed.Returned Check Charges: $20
A fine of up to $20 may be assessed for a check that is returned for any irregularity. This is in addition to any late fees or collection costs otherwise incurred for charges not paid when due. Check-writing privileges may be denied if returned checks are not cleared within seven days of notice or if multiple checks are returned.Replacement ID Cards: $15
A charge of $15 is assessed for replacement of ID cards. Previously issued ID cards, unless lost or stolen, must be surrendered at the time of replacement.Copies: $1
A copy fee is assessed for documents such as fee receipts, payroll records, and loan records. The $1 fee covers two copies of a single document with a minimum of $1 per document.Examination for Credit: $25

Comprehensive student health insurance is available to students and their dependents. Application for coverage during the academic year must be submitted within thirty-one days of the first day of classes each term (subject to change).Nonimmigrant foreign students are required to carry health insurance for themselves and their dependents.
All other students are encouraged to obtain health insurance for services not covered by the student health fees.
Students who withdraw from school or reduce class hours may be eligible for a refund, but specific rules apply. The refund is the net proceeds calculated from the refund schedule after tuition, loans, and revolving charges have been paid in full. To qualify for a refund, students must withdraw within the appropriate refund time in person at the Office of the Registrar, online using SISWeb, or by telephone using TREG (541-552-8734).1. Any monetary credit to an account that results from withdrawal is calculated from the date of receipt of the withdrawal, not from the date a student ceased attending classes, and is applicable after all debts owed to SOU, OUS, or financial programs have been settled.
2. Application of refunds to financial aid programs is a complex process governed by federal law.
3. After application of the refund to any and all charges remaining on an account or due back to financial aid programs, a check will be issued to the student. This procedure may take up to six weeks after partial or complete withdrawal.
4. Students may still owe tuition, fees, or other charges after they withdraw. All debts are due and payable upon withdrawal. If payment arrangements are needed, contact business services.
5. Students may appeal the procedures defined above by filing an appeal with any cashier in business services, Churchill Hall 150. In order for the Appeals Committee to consider an exception to established policy, a student's circumstances must be extraordinary.
6. No refunds are issued for dropped courses taken at staff rates.
7. Students are required to repay any financial aid amounts that are determined to be a cash overaward or have exceeded the amount of financial aid allowable for a single term.
8. Applicable refund schedules for each term have been established by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education and are available in the Office of the Registrar.
Note: Students drafted into military service may receive complete refunds of fees depending upon the time they leave school.
In Oregon, as in all other states, instruction fees at publicly supported four-year universities are higher for nonresident students than for resident students.The current rules and amendments used to determine residency seek to ensure that only bona fide Oregon residents are assessed the resident fee. These rules (Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 580, Division 10, Board of Higher Education) appear below.
Only duly authorized admissions officers have authority to apply and interpret these rules and procedures. No other indication or determination of residency by any other institutional office, department, program, or staff represents the official institutional determination of residency.
Summary of Key Considerations for Determining Classification as a Resident:
1. Establishment of a domicile in Oregon for a period of twelve months or more prior to the beginning of the term for which residency is sought.
2. Financial dependence on an Oregon resident or financial independence.
3. Primary purpose for being in Oregon other than to obtain an education.
4. Nature and source of financial resources.
5. Various other indicia of residency (e.g., ownership of Oregon living quarters, permanent Oregon employment, payment of
Oregon income taxes).
These are the residency rules of the Board of Higher Education currently in effect.Residence Classification Definitions (OAR 580-10-029)
For the purpose of rules 580-10-030 through 580-10-045, the following words and phrases mean:
1. "Domicile" denotes a person's true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where a person intends to remain and to which the person expects to return when he or she leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.
2. "Financially independent" denotes a person who has not been and will not be claimed as an exemption and who has not received and will not receive financial assistance in cash or in kind of an amount equal to or greater than that which would qualify him or her to be claimed as an exemption for federal income tax purposes by another person, except his or her spouse, for the current calendar year and for the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which application is made.
3. A "dependent" is a person who is not financially independent.
Determination of Residence (OAR 580-10-030)
1. For purposes of admission and instruction fee assessment, OUS institutions shall classify a student as Oregon resident or nonresident. In determining resident or nonresident classification, the primary issue is one of intent. If a person is in Oregon primarily for the purpose of obtaining an education, that person will be considered a nonresident. For example, it may be possible for an individual to qualify as a resident of Oregon for purposes of voting or obtaining an Oregon driver's license and not meet the residency requirements established by these rules.
2. An Oregon resident is a financially independent person who, immediately prior to the term for which Oregon resident classification is requested:
a) Has established and maintained a domicile in Oregon of not less than twelve consecutive months; and
b) Is primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a college student.
(i) A student may be considered primarily engaged in educational activities regardless of the number of hours for which the student is enrolled. However, a student who is enrolled for more than 7 hours a semester or quarter shall be presumed to be in Oregon for primarily educational
purposes.(ii) Such period of enrollment shall not be counted toward the establishment of a bona fide domicile of one year in this state unless the student proves, in fact, establishment of a bona fide domicile in this state primarily for purposes other than educational.
3. An Oregon resident is also a person who is dependent on a parent or legal custodian who meets the Oregon residency requirements of these rules.
4. The criteria for determining Oregon resident classification shall also be used to determine whether a person who has moved from Oregon has established a non-Oregon residence.
5. If institution records show that the residence of a person or the person's legal custodian upon whom the person is dependent is outside of Oregon, the person shall continue to be classified as a nonresident until entitlement to resident classification is shown. The burden of showing that the residence classification should be changed is on the person requesting the change.
Residency Consideration Factors (OAR 580-10-031)
1. The following factors, although not necessarily conclusive or exclusive, have probative value in support of a claim for Oregon resident classification:
a) Be primarily engaged in activities other than those of a student and reside in Oregon for twelve consecutive months immediately prior to the beginning of the term for which resident classification is sought;
b) Reliance upon Oregon resources for financial support;
c) Domicile in Oregon of persons legally responsible for the student;
d) Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Oregon; and
e) Ownership by the person of his or her living quarters in Oregon.
2. The following factors, standing alone, do not constitute sufficient evidence to effect classification as an Oregon resident:
a) Voting or registration to vote;
b) Employment in any position normally filled by a student;
c) The lease of living quarters;
d) Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Oregon;
e) Automobile registration;
f) Public records, for example, birth and marriage records, Oregon drivers's license;
g) Continuous presence in Oregon during periods when not enrolled in school;
h) Ownership of property in Oregon, or the payment of Oregon income or other Oregon taxes; or
i) Domicile in Oregon of the student's spouse.
3. Reliance upon non-Oregon resources for financial support is an inference of residency in another state.
4. The resident classification of a dependent person shall be that of his or her parents or legal custodians, or, in the case of divorce or other similar circumstances, the parent or legal custodian upon whom the person is financially dependent, unless the dependent has been in Oregon with the other parent or a legal custodian and established Oregon residency under these rules twelve months prior to the term for which Oregon resident classification is requested.
Evidence of Financial Dependency (OAR 580-10-033)
1. In determining whether a student is financially dependent and whether his or her parent or legal custodian has maintained a bona fide domicile in Oregon for one year, a student must provide:
a) Legal proof of custodianship;
b) Evidence of established domicile of parent or legal custodian; and
c) The identification of the student as a dependent on the federal income tax return of the parents or legal custodian.
Additional documentation to substantiate dependency during the current calendar year may be required at a later time if deemed necessary by the Institution.
2. A student who provides evidence that he or she is a dependent of a parent or legal custodian who has maintained a one-year domicile in Oregon shall not be required to establish a one-year domicile prior to classification of resident status, provided such a student may not be classified as a resident while receiving financial assistance from another state or state agency for educational purposes.
Residence Classification of Armed Forces Personnel (OAR 580-10-035)
1. For purposes of this rule, armed services means officers and enlisted personnel of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.2. Notwithstanding OAR 580-10-030, members of the armed services and their spouses and dependent children who reside in this state while assigned to duty at any base, station, shore establishment, or other facility in this state or while serving as members of the crew of a ship that has an Oregon port of shore establishment as its
home port or permanent station shall be considered residents for purposes of the instruction fee.3. An Oregon resident entering the armed services retains Oregon residence classification until it is voluntarily relinquished.
4. An Oregon resident who has been in the armed services and assigned on duty outside of Oregon must return to Oregon within sixty days after completing service to retain classification as an Oregon resident.
5. A person who continues to reside in Oregon after separation from the armed services may count the time spent in the state while in the armed services to support a claim for classification as an Oregon resident.
6. The dependent child and spouse of a person who is a resident under Section (2) of this rule shall be considered an Oregon resident. "Dependent child" includes any child of a member of the armed forces who:
a) Is under eighteen years of age and not married, otherwise emancipated, or self-supporting; or
b) Is under twenty-four years of age, unmarried, enrolled in a full-time course of study in an institution of higher learning, and dependent on the member for over one-half of his or her support.
