Choosing a Payment Option

Check Payments on the Web:

The Bursar's Office accepts check payments over the Web. To make a payment to an account, go to https://oscar.gatech.edu. The menu selections are: Secured Access Login (enter student ID and PIN), Student Services and Financial Aid, Registration, and Student Invoice Statement and Web Payment Options. The check payment link is at the bottom of the page.

Mail In:

Make all checks or money orders payable to the Georgia Institute of Technology. The student's ID number must be clearly printed on all checks or money orders. Payments must be received (not postmarked) by 4:00 p.m. on the fee deadline date. Mail to the following address: Georgia Institute of Technology, Bursar's Office, Lyman Hall, 225 North Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0255.

On Campus:

Students who pay in person should bring their cash or check to the Bursar's Office Cashier Window; First Floor, Lyman Hall. Payment by check or money order can be deposited in the drop box (entry vestibule to Lyman Hall) at any hour of the day before the fee deadline. Do not put cash in the drop box.

Prepayments:

Prepayment of fees will be accepted; however, prepayment does not guarantee the student will successfully register for any or all classes needed. It is the student's responsibility to properly register for classes by the registration deadline.

Fee Payment Using Financial Aid:

All tuition waivers, financial aid, scholarships, and fellowships awarded will be disbursed to the student's account and applied to any outstanding balances. Financial aid is initially estimated and has not actually been disbursed. The "Balance Due" for a student is reduced by this estimated amount. Actual disbursements begin approximately one week prior to the fee deadline. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all funds are properly credited by the fee deadline date by reviewing his or her student Web invoice. If funds are not/will not be disbursed or credited by the fee deadline, the student may be eligible to request a deferment from Student Financial Planning and Services. Deferments must be requested and will be granted only for the lesser of the amount of the financial aid award or the amount due to the Institute.

Disbursement of Financial Aid Checks:

Financial aid processed by the Office of Student Financial Planning and Services will be applied directly to the student's account in the Bursar's Office. If a credit balance exists after all charges have been posted, the Bursar's Office will forward a check to the student's campus post office box, or it will be deposited into the student's bank account. Many financial aid programs (including the HOPE scholarship, Federal Pell Grant, and Stafford Loan) do not require that the student be enrolled full time in order for disbursement to occur. However, because some scholarships and grants do require full-time study, and some aid programs require registration for at least six hours of courses for disbursement, students who are planning to enroll for fewer than twelve hours and who are unsure of the requirements are advised to seek clarification from the Office of Student Financial Planning and Services.
