Payments can be made through automatic billing through Blackbaud’s Altru, or by cash, check or card at the front office. Payments are made annually, bi-annually, or monthly. The frequency is arranged with the Admissions team at the time of enrollment. There is a one-time, non-refundable $40 registration fee assessed at the time of enrollment.

• Annual – Full payment at time of registration
• Bi-annual – Half payment at time of registration, half due February 1st
• Monthly Payment Plan – 11 monthly payments (August to June). Note: For students who begin mid-year, tuition will be divided between the number of consecutive months included from the start date through July.

Late Fees & Delinquent Accounts

There will be a late fee of $10 per month for payments received after the 10th of the month. OCoM reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the instruction of a student whose account is delinquent in fulfilling their financial obligation at any time during the semester.
