Eighty percent of AGS students have their bill fully covered by financial aid. For any balance that is not covered, OCU offers payment plans to take care of any payment due. Students must pay the first-semester tuition at registration prior to the first class session, OR make arrangements for payment through school loans, grants, OCU online payment plan or Employer Reimbursement/Tuition Deferment, if applicable.
Paying for college can be challenging. Most students are unable to pay the entire cost. The OCU Financial Aid Department is prepared to help students meet these financial needs through scholarships, grants, and loans. The U.S. Department of Education and the University believe a student’s education is usually a family investment, involving realistic student contributions and the financial support of family members.
