INVOICE INFORMATION
The Bursars Office does not mail invoices to students. A complete Student Invoice Statement is available to students via the Oscar Web 24/7. Any changes that adjust the fees will be updated immediately to show the most current information on the account. The web invoice also facilitates online payment options. The payments will appear on the account instantaneously so that the student can confirm that their account has been paid.
To access your Student Invoice Statement, go to www.oscar.gatech.edu and select menu option Secured Access Login, then enter your student ID and PIN numbers.

Cost of attendance estimates are provided to assist you with financial planning for your education. However, as registration occurs, as room and board assignments are selected, the charges will be updated to your student invoice statement immediately. This will allow you to start reviewing the actual charges and payment requirements which could differ somewhat from the estimates based on personal preferences, etc.

ONLINE STUDENT INVOICE STATEMENT
Your online student invoice statement is term based and contains actual charges for tuition and fees, room and board and other miscellaneous charges. The invoice statement also includes any payments made to your account along with the outstanding balance. For those students that might be receiving financial aid or scholarships, the amounts of these disbursements will be included in the student invoice statement as well. It is important to note that these funds cannot actually be disbursed to a students account until 10 days prior to the first day of class. Due to this federal requirement, prior to the disbursement date, these funds will be reflected as "estimated financial aid and scholarships" and will be used to reduce the balance that is due. The student invoice statement will provide the actual financial aid disbursement date. Please review your student invoice statement after the financial aid disbursement date. The amount of the actual disbursements could differ from the estimated and result in outstanding balances on the student's account. See more information of financial aid eligibility requirements at: http://www.finaid.gatech.edu/. Any balances must be paid in full by the stated deadlines. See the Bursar Calendar.

All tuition waivers, financial aid and scholarships awarded will be disbursed to the student's account and applied to any outstanding balances. Any residuals remaining on a student's account will be refunded. Sign up for direct deposit of these refunds to your bank account. See Direct Deposit.

Please review your fee payment options.

Important News About Credit Card Payments

It is the student's responsibilty to verify that their account is paid in full by the fee payment deadline date. All of these fees are due by the deadlines specified on the Bursar Calendar.

GENERAL FEE INFORMATION AND HELPFUL HINTS
TUITION (In-state and out-of-state rates)
Tuition is charged by the semester hour up to twelve (12) semester hours. Any hours registered above this plateau will NOT result in additional tuition assessed on the student's account. A non-resident fee is charged for all students who are classified by the Admissions Office as a non-resident for tuition purposes. This fee is also charged by the semester hour up to twelve (12) semester hours.

Freshman students are registered early by administrators at Georgia Tech. Due to class allocations, etc., they are rarely registered in twelve (12) hours which is considered full time by the fee deadline.

Please refer to the schedule portion of the invoice to determine if the student has reached full-time status. If the student is NOT registered for 12 hours and is planning on taking a full load, see Tuition and Fees to determine the rate to pay.

INSTITUTE STUDENT FEES
All students registered for 4 or more semester hours are required to pay the following fees: technology fee, activity fee, health fee, athletic fee and recreation fee. The transportation fee is charged to all students regardless of the number of hours for which the student is registered.

FRESHMAN EXPERIENCE
