Payment Information

A down payment is required

A $1000 down payment toward room fees and a $200 security deposit are required to hold your space in the residence hall. We recommend paying these fees as soon as possible, in line with the overall application process, to secure a spot. Partial payments are welcome, but a spot is not secured until the down payment is paid in full.

When and how to pay

The estimated room fees for the term post to your Bobcat Web Account after your housing assignment has been made. Payment can be made online via your Bobcat Account, calling the Cashiers Office at (541) 383-7229, in-person, or using awarded financial aid (if you qualify).

Down payment refund policy

A full or partial refund of the $1000 down payment is available prior to occupancy. Full refunds are available with written notification of cancellation by the date listed below in the Cancellation Fees section. The down payment is no longer refundable upon occupancy.

Using a financial aid award to pay

If you are receiving financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office (541) 383-7260 to review your award amount and arrange for this coverage. If your award amount covers tuition, fees, and the down payment toward room and board, then your financial aid may be used to cover the down payment prior to occupancy. Please also refer to your Budget Worksheet for this information.
