ONU Billing
Tuition, housing, meal plans and other ONU costs are paid through the Controller’s Office, which is located on the first floor of the Lehr Memorial Hall. Your bills can be paid in several ways. A penalty will be added to the ONU bill if fees are not paid by the posted due date for each term.
Who receives bills from ONU?
All billing will be done electronically. Bills will be sent to the student's ONU email account. The student can request to have the bill emailed to a parent (or authorized user), but the student must make this request online through their EBILL site by clicking on the Authorized Users link.
What payment options are available?
Payment Options include: cash, check, ACH, credit card, payment plan, or wire transfer.
Monthly/Bi-Monthly Payment Plans:
You may pay your ONU fees on a monthly or a bi-monthly plan. However, you must sign up to do this online through your EBILL account each semester. There is a $30.00 charge for this service each semester. To sign up, log on to your EBILL account, click the Payment Plans link at the top, and follow the instructions given.
Cash & Check Payments:
You can pay your bill with cash or check in the Controller’s Office in Lehr Memorial Hall. This is a very economical way to pay your bill as there is no convenience fee for paying by cash or check.
- Checks should be made out to Ohio Northern University.
- If you are mailing in a check, please be sure to include the Student’s Name and ONU ID Number on the memo/for line. This helps us to ensure the payment is posted to the correct student account.
