When an account is turned to a collection agent, a servicing fee of up to 1/3 of the original charge may be added to the receivable. Additionally, in January of each year, all receivables are reported to the Oklahoma State Tax Commission. State tax returns may be captured and applied to outstanding balances. Finally, future enrollments and current records may be on hold pending payment of the balance.

STUDENTS WHO REGISTER DURING PRIORITY AND EARLY REGISTRATION MUST PAY TUITION BY THE 5 P.M. DUE DATES TO AVOID INTEREST CHARGES AND PENALTIES.

Tuition Lock Program

As the uncertainty of life proves stressful, the ability to lock in a tuition rate for the next four years of school can certainly help ease a portion of that unpredictability. Because of this, the University of Central Oklahoma is now offering a Tuition Lock Program for all incoming freshmen.

The Tuition Lock Program allows first-time undergraduate students to lock in a tuition rate that will not be impacted by later increases in tuition costs. The initial rate is set at 5% above the tuition rate from the term of entry. Participation in this program is voluntary and must be elected at time of enrollment. Specific details regarding requirements for participation can be located under Section 4.18 page 55 of the State Regents policy manual.

To lock in a tuition rate, students must meet certain criteria:

• First-time entering undergraduate students (freshman only);
• Full-time enrollment (12 hours per semester);
• Maintain four (4) consecutive years of enrollment; and,
• Resident of Oklahoma.
