Services
2. Definitions
a. “ID and MID Services” means the services delivered by INTO OSU on behalf of
the University, including, but not limited to the following:
i. Pre-arrival and arrival support
ii. Customized class schedules prepared in advance by academics
iii. Reserved seats in classes
iv. Guided registration process
v. Academic Success seminars
b. “Study plan” refers to all OSU programs and all INTO Oregon State University
programs to which a student is admitted, and spans the entire period of time
needed to complete all programs included in a student’s study plan.
c. “Start date” refers to the beginning of the study plan as outlined in the offer
letter and confirmation letter issued to the student
4. Confirmation
a. The confirmation process will be complete, and each student will be deemed to
have accepted and agreed to these terms and conditions, upon receipt of the
signed acceptance form and payment of any required deposit(s).
b. Each student will be issued a confirmation letter for his or her study plan,
immigration documentation (I-20 or other, where student meets immigration
eligibility requirements), following receipt of affidavit of support and bank
statement/sponsorship letter, and a statement of account, indicating the full
outstanding balance owed.
5. Payment
a. The full outstanding balance owed by a student must be paid at least four weeks
prior to the applicable start date for that student. Students will not be permitted
to register or enroll in any classes until full payment has been made.
b. If a student is applying for a scholarship from a government sponsor, the student
will be required to either (i) pay the full outstanding balance owed by the
applicable due date or (ii) provide an official letter of financial guarantee from
the sponsor by the end of the first week of classes. A student with an unofficial
letter of financial guarantee will be allowed to register and enroll, but if the
official letter of financial guarantee is not received by the applicable deadline,
then the student will be required to pay tuition and fees in full or withdraw from
the University. An official letter of financial guarantee must specify that the
guarantee covers the entire study plan. Sponsors will be invoiced for their
portion of fees, and the student will be refunded any credit balance remaining
on his/her account after payment has been received from the sponsor. Students
who wish to have their mandatory health insurance waived due to sponsor
provided coverage must comply with insurance waiver requirements.
7. Refunds
a. Refunds of any payments will only be made to the individual or organization that
originally paid the funds. If a third party has paid the funds on behalf of the
student, any refund will be made directly to the third party who originally paid
the funds.
b. Refunds of any payments can only be made to the account from which the
payment was made originally. Proof of payment such as a receipt or a bank
statement showing payment from that account must be produced for a refund
to take place. Failure to do so may result in the delayed payment of a refund or
prevent a refund from being paid altogether.
c. Refunds will not be paid via cash. The University (and INTO on behalf of the
University) reserve the right not to accept any payment in cash at its own
discretion.
8. Cancellations
a. Cancellations more than four weeks prior to the applicable start date will result
in forfeiture of the deposit(s) outlined in the offer letter.
b. There will be no refund for students who cancel, withdraw, are suspended or
dismissed less than four weeks prior to the applicable start date.
c. There will be no refund for students who enter the United States on the I-20
issued by OSU and then, within 30 calendar days before or after the I-20
Program Start Date, request a transfer to another program, school, college
or university.
