Orientation Fees

Orientation Fees

Student orientation fees for the program and one night staying on campus in a residence hall are included in The OHIO Guarantee+. There are additional fees for the family and guest orientation programs and their overnight accommodations on campus, as well as any students staying for additional nights. 

All fees are billed directly to the student's account upon check-in for the orientation program, but are not due at the time of billing. Fees will remain on the student's account until paid, following all published deadlines by the Bursar's Office. Even if a student chooses to not enroll at OHIO for their first semester, orientation fees still apply and must be paid to the university. 

To view orientation charges, students should visit the MyOHIO Student Center. Questions regarding charges must be resolved within three months of attending an orientation session. To dispute charges on your account for orientation fees, please complete the BSO billing appeal form. This form should only be used to dispute BSO charges.
