If you haven’t already, you need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. Make sure you have the results sent to ORU by entering ORU’s code (003985) when prompted for the school code.

Please note: Once you have enrolled at least part-time for the semester and have completed your FAFSA, ORU’s Financial Aid department will create a financial aid package for you, which will outline your grant and loan options. To be considered part-time, you must be enrolled in at least 4.5 credit hours. If you are a student in either the D.Min, Ed.D, or LMBA program, you only need to be enrolled in at least 3 credit hours to be considered part-time. A new FAFSA will need to be submitted before each fall session.

All master’s level residential students in the Graduate School of Business and Graduate School of Theology and Ministry are required to turn in an immunization record and health assessment form prior to enrollment. Doctoral, modular and online students are not required to do this. To view immunization requirements and download the appropriate forms, visit studenthealth.oru.edu. To complete these forms, obtain an appointment with your physician and receive your remaining immunization records. When finished, email all completed forms to studenthealth@oru.edu.

Having health insurance is not required in order to complete registration. However, we strongly recommend you have health insurance coverage. If you currently have a valid health insurance plan, please provide this information in VISION by clicking OPTIONAL next to INSURANCE in your Registration Steps.

Payment of student charges is due by the first day of the semester. Students may pay their charges (tuition and fees) utilizing verifiable financial aid, monthly installment payments (information below), cash, check, credit card, money order or wire transfer. Payment may be made online through your VISION account with a credit card or electronic check (ACH). 

For International Students, we recommend Flywire, which offers payment options with guaranteed low rates for currency conversion.

Students have the option to set up a monthly payment plan that divides your outstanding balance into monthly installments without charging interest. This plan is not financing and does not affect credit. To set up a monthly payment plan, locate the Payment Options listed underneath your registration steps on Vision. Select Option 1, "Enroll in a Monthly Payment Plan."

Under your Registration Steps in VISION, click the button that says PURCHASE BOOKS FROM THE ORU BOOKSTORE. If you order in advance, books will be ready for you to pick up when you arrive on campus. If using extra financial aid funds to purchase books, you must approve moving funds to your Eagle Card. Funds can be moved in VISION during the first two weeks of the semester.
