The Department of Graduate Education is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. As an added convenience for our students, the Department of Graduate Education will be open for extended registration hours, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m, on Monday through Thursday of the first week of each term.

Late Registration Fees

All late registration fees are nonrefundable.

A late fee will be charged for registrations received as of the first day of the quarter or later. The late registration fee is $35.

For MST Weekend courses, students will be charged a $35 late fee when registering after 3 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the first class meeting. A student may only add a compressed MST course after it has begun with the instructor's permission.

Tuition & Fees

For the 2007 - 2008 academic year, quarterly tuition and fees are as follows:

• * Biomedical Engineering Students. Fulltime BME students located primarily at the Portland campus are charged $5973 per quarter in tuition and fees. Automatic membership in OHSU's March Wellness center for BME Portland students is available as a benefit of these fees.

• Lab Fees. A lab fee of $300 per quarter applies to all MS students in the Environmental and Biomolecular Systems Department.


• International Students. The International Student Fee (F-1/J-1 students) is $30/quarter.


• Health Insurance. The quarterly Health Insurance Fee applies to all Masters and Ph.D. students registered for 9 or more credits (full-time) who have not otherwise received an approved waiver in accordance with OGI's health insurance requirements. The Health Insurance Fee is subject to change each July 1 when the insurance plan is renewed.

Payment Options

All tuition and applicable fees are charged to your student account at the time you register. Your student account is due the second Monday following the beginning of the academic quarter. Any tuition and fees not paid by the due date will be charged interest. Student accounts must be paid in full in order to register for subsequent quarters. To make a payment to your student account you may use the following methods:

Online Payment
Tuition and fees may be paid on line through your ISIS Online account using Mastercard or VISA. Once logged into ISIS, you can find the online payment option by following Student Services > Student Records > Account Summary and Make On-Line Payment.

Adding a Course

The online registration option is available to add a course through the first week of the quarter. Following the first week, all courses must be added directly through the Department of Graduate Education at grad_ed@admin.ogi.edu or calling (503) 748-1382.

Quarter-long Courses
The instructor's written permission is required to add a quarter-long course after the first week of the quarter. You may add a course through the fourth week of the quarter.

MST Compressed Weekend Courses
The instructor's written permission is required to add a compressed weekend course after the first class meeting.

Online Courses
The last date to add a distance learning course is the Friday prior to the start of the course. Exceptions to this policy require special permission from the academic department offering the course.

Dropping a Course/Refund Schedule

To drop a course you must officially modify your registration by either dropping the course online or by contacting the Department of Graduate Education. Notifying your instructor of your intent to drop or withdraw from a course is not sufficient and may result in your receiving a failing grade and being fully responsible for the tuition. Refunds and transcripts are based on the date you officially modify your registration, not the date of last attendance. Courses dropped during the designated refund period will not appear on your transcript. Courses dropped outside of the refund period will be listed on your transcript as a withdrawal. Students may withdraw from OGI courses at any time before the final exam or the last class meeting for classes without final exams.

Quarter-long Courses
A 100% tuition refund will be given if you drop a quarter-long course by the end of the second week of the quarter. Dropping before the end of the fourth week of the quarter will result in a 50% refund. No refunds will be provided for dropping a course after the fourth week of the quarter.

MST Compressed Weekend Courses
You have until 5:00 p.m. on the Friday after the first weekend of class to drop and still receive a 100% refund. Dropping by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday after the second weekend of class will result in a 50% refund. After that, there is no refund for dropped compressed weekend courses.

Online Courses
You will receive a 100% refund if you drop a distance learning course by the end of the second week that the course has met. Please note that there is no 50% refund time period for these courses and no refund will be issued for requests to withdraw which are received after the close of business on the Friday of the second week this course has been in session.

Changing Credit/Audit Status

Any request to change credit/audit status must be submitted in writing to the Graduate Education Department. Requests received during the first six weeks of the quarter do not need the instructor's signature. Students may change status after the first six weeks and before the final exam (or last class meeting for classes without exams) by submitting a request that includes the instructor's written permission. Status cannot be changed after the final exam (or last class meeting for classes without exams).

Cancellation Policy

The OGI School reserves the right to cancel any course due to low enrollment or other scheduling issues. If the OGI School cancels a course, a 100% refund will be issued.

Full Time Status

Matriculated students are considered full-time when they register and pay for nine or more credit hours per quarter. Audit units do not count toward fulltime status.

Grades

Grades are due to the Department of Graduate Education by the Friday following the last day of the final exam week. Grade reports will be mailed to students the following Wednesday. Grades can also be accessed through your online student account shortly after they are submitted.

Transcript Requests

All requests for transcripts must be in writing-with the student's signature- and be submitted by fax, mail, or in person to the Department of Graduate Education or OHSU's Registrar's Office. Official transcripts cost $12 per copy when ordered 48 hours in advance and $17 for same-day service or faxed copy. Unofficial transcripts may be obtained online through your online student account.

Key Cards/Student ID/Access to Buildings

Students are encouraged to get an OGI student ID/card key, which is available to all registered students at no charge. Contact your department (BME, CSEE, EBS, MST) administrator to request an OGI/OHSU student ID/card key.

Student card keys will be automatically deactivated the Monday following finals. Card keys for students enrolled in research will not be deactivated. If you are a non-research student and need continued access between quarters, please have your advisor contact Donna Reed at 503-748-1178 or reeddo@ohsu.edu. Card keys should be returned to the Graduate Education office when you have completed your OGI course work.

Copying Facilities

Students may use the copy machine in the library; copies are 10¢ per page. Matriculated students should contact their academic coordinator for information regarding other copying options.

Release of Information

In accordance with federal law, the Oregon Health & Sciences University has adopted rules to govern the gathering, use, and disclosure of student records, with the aim of guaranteeing the privacy of such records. Most of the records that OHSU maintains with regard to a student can be disclosed without the student's written consent only to the student, OHSU officials, financial aid sponsors (when the student has applied for or received aid), or government agencies upon receipt of lawful subpoenas.

OHSU can, however, release "directory" information www.ohsu.edu/registrar/regtorestricdirinfo.pdf without obtaining a student's prior consent. A student can request that directory information not be disclosed by filing a written request with the OHSU Registrar's Office.

Veteran Affairs Benefit

For information regarding benefits available for veterans, please contact the OHSU Financial Aid office at (503) 494-7800 or finaid@ohsu.edu.

Equal Opportunity

OHSU is committed to providing equal opportunity and access to all institute facilities to everyone without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran's status.

OSHU has established an Affirmative Action Program to ensure that nondiscrimination is a pervasive part of the institute's environment.
