Payment Plan

Students and Authorized Users can set up a payment plan through the Student Account Center.

Student Account Center

Oberlin’s Student Account Center allows students to view their account summary, receive ebills, view up-to-the-minute account activity, make payments by eCheck or credit card (a small convenience fee will be charged for payment with a credit card), and enroll in our four installment monthly payment plan by semester.

Authorized User - Account Sign In

Students also have the ability to grant parents and others access to the Student Account Center who may make payments on their behalf.  

Students can simply click the button below, which will take them to their Oberlin Okta single sign on authentication.  Once logged into the Student Account Center, navigate to the Payment Plans tab to view the payment plan options available to you.  Select the payment plan option that best meets your needs.  Add your preferred payment method and activate the plan by immediately paying the non-refundable enrollment fee of $50 ($100 for late signups).  The plan installment dates will be automatically populated for you.  Monthly installments will be debited from your saved payment method automatically on the due date each month. You will receive email reminders of upcoming payments.

Log in to the Student Account Center at any time to manage active payment plans, including viewing the status of or changing your payment plan, making a partial or full payment towards your remaining balance, or updating autopay details.

Create Account

Adding an authorized user to your account is quick and easy.  Once in the Student Account Center, follow these step-by-step instructions:

  • On the Account Summary Tab, under Quick Links, students select “Set Up Now” to establish each Authorized User individually.  The email address the student provides for each Authorized User becomes the Authorized User’s username.
  • Fill in the necessary information, including basic contact information and your relationship to the authorized user then click Create.
  • The authorized user will receive an email with instructions on how to log in to the system to verify their authorized user account.  Please ensure the email address you enter is correct, or your authorized user will not receive important email messages from our office.
  • Once you have added one or more authorized users to your account, you also have the ability to view the authorized user’s activity and/or delete authorized users by revoking access to their account via the Manage Authorized Users action.

Payment Plan

The payment plan consists of four monthly payments per semester beginning in July for the fall semester and December for the spring semester.  Enrollment in this interest free plan is easy and available through the Student Account Center.  A nonrefundable enrollment fee of $50 is charged per semester plan.  Enrollment after the first due date (delinquent signup) will be charged a nonrefundable enrollment fee of $100.  Payments can be made via ACH transfer or credit card (fee).  Payments are due on the 22nd of each month.
