Employer Tuition Assistance
Active Military
Military service members should contact their Educational Services Office (ESO) or counselor within their Military Service prior to enrolling at OC.
Civilian
You are a valued employee at a company willing to invest in you! Congratulations. Please submit a completed Employer Reimbursement Form before the first day of class as proof that tuition will be covered, and remember to update the form for each academic term (8-week enrollment period) or semester (16-week enrollment period).
Students may opt to defer their account payment for a 2.5% deferment fee each semester. The fee will be charged against the total outstanding balance. Fees, charges or costs for the term which are not covered by the employer reimbursement agreement must be paid in full by the specified billing due date (typically the first day of classes).
Students are responsible for payment. Oklahoma Christian University will not initiate billing to your employer unless the employer requests billing as a requirement of proof of enrollment and costs. Notify OC Financial Services Office of any change in employment that invalidates the form to determine the best course of action for account payment.
All forms required by your employer should be copied to Financial Services for each enrolled term (8-week enrollment period) or semester (16-week enrollment period). Most employers have something in place through the Human Resources or Benefits office that can be provided to OC.
