[Bend Programs Costs]

The cost of taking classes at the Cascades Campus depends on the number of credits you take each term, and whether you are classified as a resident or a nonresident for tuition purposes.  IMPORTANT:  The residence classification rules for OSU Cascades are different from Central Oregon Community College (COCC) rules.  You should not assume if COCC has classified you as a resident, that OSU Cascades will also classify you as a resident.  The residency rules which apply to all four-year state universities in Oregon can be found at:  http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/resid.htm.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

If you will need help in paying for your education, you should apply for financial aid. Federal aid programs are financial assistance for which you need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal aid programs fall into three categories, grants, work-study, and loans.  Residents of Oregon may also qualify for an Oregon Opportunity Grant administered by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission.

If you will be taking classes offered by more than one school, e.g. the UO and COCC, you will need to coordinate your financial aid with both schools because federal rules require that students receive assistance from only one school, your "home school." If you are admitted to one of the UO’s three Central Oregon undergraduate degree programs, the UO becomes your home school and financial aid will come from the University of Oregon.  UO financial aid counselors or the UO undergraduate advisers in Bend can help you make arrangements to insure you receive the full amount of aid that you qualify for. The first step is to file the FAFSA and be sure to list UO as one of your first six choices.

For the 2003-04 academic year:

The FAFSA is usually available by December for the following academic year. Many types of funds are limited and may run out, so applying by the priority deadline is important. The UO deadline for priority consideration—the date that the Office of Student Financial Aid must receive financial aid information from the federal processor—is March 1, 2003. To allow enough time for your application to be processed and transmitted to the UO by our priority deadline, we encourage you to mail your FAFSA to the federal processor by February 1, 2003. If you have not completed your tax forms by that time, we suggest that you use estimated figures.

You must list the UO as one of your first six choices.
