Payment Options
Transact Payments Electronic Payment Options
ePayment
FREE and convenient electronic payments made from a checking or savings account are accepted through Transact Payments using a bank account located in the United States. You will need your account's routing number in addition to the bank account number (both can be found on the bottom of your check in the case of a checking account). Please contact your bank or credit union if you need additional help determining these numbers.
Debit cards cannot be used with this payment method.
If you attempt to use a debit card number with this payment method it will not process correctly, and you will be assessed a returned item fee of $25.
Online ePayments are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Credit or Debit Cards
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express payments can be made through Transact Payments.
Oregon Tech has contracted with Transact Payments to provide students and Payers (someone the student sets up to be able to pay on their account) the ability to make credit and debit card payments online. There is a 2.95% convenience fee for credit and debit card transactions that will be added to your payment once it is processed. The convenience fee is non-refundable, even if the payment to which it relates is canceled, refunded, credited, or charged back.
Payments made by debit card are treated as credit card payments, so they are also subject to the 2.95% convenience fee.
Online credit card payments are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Non-Electronic Payment Options
By Mail
Mail Check or Money Order (please do not send cash) and a copy of the bottom portion of the student's eBill to:
Cashier's Office
Oregon Institute of Technology
3201 Campus Drive
Klamath Falls, OR 97601
If you do not have a printed copy of the student's eBill, please include the student's Oregon Tech ID number with your payment.

- Payments can be made in person at the Cashier's Office window located in Snell Hall, Room 116 during regular business hours (See Cashier's main webpage for current open hours).
- Payments accepted include:
- Cash or check.
- Credit or debit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Union Pay, and American Express are accepted at the Cashier's Office window and there is a 2.35% convenience fee per transaction).
Payment Plan
The payment plan allows students to pay their remaining balance, after all financial aid has been applied, in thirds (in order to take advantage of the payment plan, prior term balances must be paid in full). The first one third (1/3) payment is due by the 10th of the first month of the term. The second one third (1/3) payment is due by the 10th of the second month of the term. And the last one third (1/3) (FINAL BALANCE) payment is due by the 10th of the third month in the term.
- Enroll in the payment plan in your Transact Account. Please read the Payment Plan Terms and Conditions at time of enrollment and email cashier@oit.edu or call 541-885-1202 with any questions.
- There is a $20 fee due at the time of enrollment. This fee is per term and students must enroll in Transact each term they wish to do the payment plan.
- A 12% per annum interest charge is assessed on all unpaid balances (interest is charged monthly-this comes out to approximately 1% per month).
- Late fees are not assessed to students on the payment plan as long as payments are up to date.
If you receive grants, loans, or scholarships, those funds will be applied to charges for the term to cover educational expenses. You may not be eligible to choose the Payment Plan unless your financial aid is insufficient to cover all tuition, fees, housing, and related expenses.
Transact Payments Payer Login
Enroll in the payment plan for your student's balance, pay your student's bill online (by ePayment, credit, or debit card), and view your student's eBills in Transact (log in using the blue link below) once your student has set up you as a Payer. The student sets up Payers in Transact by going to the "My Account" menu item and clicking on the link that says "Send a payer invitation".
If you forget your username and/or password, you will need to contact your student to reset your account by clicking "Resend payer invitation" in the Payer section in Transact which also resets your password. Oregon Tech does not have access to Payer username or password information, so we do not have the ability to retrieve your username or reset your password in our office.
Student File Privacy Information
Oregon Tech is committed to the privacy of our students, and the Oregon Tech Privacy Policy reflects this commitment by complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) - sometimes referred to as the Buckley Amendment - which establishes students' rights and institutions' responsibilities regarding the privacy of education records. It provides guidelines for maintaining the confidentiality of education records and monitoring the release of information from those records.
For additional information, see the Oregon Tech Privacy Policy, or the U.S. Department of Education FERPA website.
Under FERPA, a student's financial records are confidential. In order for Oregon Tech to provide eBills or other Transact Payments access to a third party (such as a parent, a grandparent, or a guardian) the student must establish them as a Payer in Transact Payments. Payers receive the same email notifications (to the email address set up by the student and indicated in your Payer login information) that a student receives each month and can access eBills by clicking on the link provided in the email. Payers can also view the student's current balance, and any activity that has happened since the last eBill by logging in to Transact Payments.
Please note that Payer access does not provide you access to student financial information (or any other information) by any means other than Transact Payments. If you require information directly from the university, your student will have to provide the university with a File Authorization Form authorizing you. For additional information regarding the File Authorization Form, please visit Office of the Registrar | Oregon Tech (oit.edu) or contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@oit.edu or by calling (541) 885.1300.
