Tuition and Financial Assistance Financial Aid Financial aid is available for eligible students enrolled through Advanced Programs at the University of Oklahoma. To apply for financial aid, the student must complete a financial aid packet which can be obtained from your local OU Field Coordinator. Application packets are usually available in March for the following fall, spring and summer semesters. It is important for students to complete the application packet as soon as it is available. Financial Aid Services must have a completed financial aid application on file eight weeks prior to the start of the semester for which the student is seeking aid.
Incomplete applications delay the processing of financial aid.
Students should be prepared to pay for their classes. The aid application is an annual process, and students must reapply each year. Students desiring VA benefits should enroll at the beginning of the semester for all courses to be attended that term and should indicate on each enrollment form that VA benefits will be used. The VA Regional Office in Muskogee, Oklahoma, has special procedures for expediting the processing of enrollment certifications for Advanced Programs students, and the student generally receives payment within four to six weeks following certification by the University. Students experiencing a lengthy delay in receipt of their benefits should contact the Advanced Programs Veterans Liaison.
