Registration Policies
How to Register
You may register online after you login to ISIS, or first visit the OHSU Student Registration Information page, which has some basic information and instructions on how to get started with ISIS Online, the OHSU Institutional Student Information System.
Students new to OHSU and not yet admitted to a program should complete the Non-Degree Application Form to establish a student record. Registration for courses outside the major area of study requires advisor and instructor approval. Upon receipt of approval, please contact the Registrar's office at hicksfro@ohsu.edu to complete the registration process.
Late Registration Fees
A late fee will be charged for registrations received beyond the last day to register without the late charge. The late registration fee is $35.
Tuition & Fees
Tuition and fees are available from the OHSU Registrar website.
Payment Options
All tuition and applicable fees are charged to your student account at the time you register. Your student account balance is due the second Monday following the beginning of the academic quarter. Any tuition and fees not paid by the due date will be charged interest. Student accounts must be paid in full in order to register for subsequent quarters. To make a payment to your student account you may use the following methods:
Online Payment
Tuition and fees may be paid on line through your ISIS Online account using Mastercard or VISA. Once logged into ISIS, you can find the online payment option by following Student Services > Student Records > Account Summary and Make On-Line Payment.

Dropping/Withdrawing and Refund Schedule
To drop or withdraw from a course you must officially modify your registration online within the Academic Calendar dates or by notifying the Registrar's office at hicksfro@ohsu.edu.
Notifying your instructor of your intent to drop or withdraw from a course is not sufficient and may result in you receiving a failing grade and being fully responsible for the tuition.
Courses dropped during the designated drop period will not appear on your transcript. Courses withdrawn during the designated withdraw period will be listed on your transcript as a withdraw with or without a grade, per the Academic Calendar. Students may withdraw from courses at any time before the final exam or submission of final project or before the last class meeting for classes without final exams.
A 100% tuition refund will be given if you drop or withdraw from a course(s) by the end of the second week of the quarter. Withdrawing before the end of the fourth week of the quarter will result in a 50% refund. No refunds will be provided for dropping a course after the fourth week of the quarter.
Changing Credit/Audit Status
Students may change credit/audit status through the second week of the quarter.
Cancellation of Courses
Low enrollment or other scheduling issues may result in course cancellation. If a course is cancelled, a 100% refund will be issued.
Full-time Status
Matriculated students are considered fulltime when they register and pay for nine or more credit hours per quarter. Audit units do not count for credit or toward full-time status.
Grades
Grades are due one week following the end of each term which usually occurs on a Friday. Grades are available through your online student account the next Wednesday.
Transcript Requests
All requests for transcripts (PDF) must be in writing—with the student's signature—and be submitted by fax, mail, or in person to the OHSU's Registrar's Office. Unofficial transcripts may be obtained online through your student account.
Release of Information
In accordance with federal law, the Oregon Health & Sciences University has adopted rules to govern the gathering, use, and disclosure of student records, with the aim of guaranteeing the privacy of such records. Most of the records that OHSU maintains with regard to a student can be disclosed without the student's written consent only to the student, OHSU officials, financial aid sponsors (when the student has applied for or received aid), or government agencies upon receipt of lawful subpoenas.
OHSU can, however, release "directory" information without obtaining a student's prior consent. A student can request that directory information not be disclosed by filing a Request to Restrict Directory Information form (PDF) with the OHSU Registrar's Office.
Equal Opportunity
OHSU is committed to providing equal opportunity and access to all institute facilities to everyone without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran's status.
OHSU has established an Affirmative Action Program to ensure that nondiscrimination is a pervasive part of the institute's environment.
Accreditation
Oregon Health & Science University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. NWCCU's address is: 8060 165th Ave NE, Suite 100, Redmond WA 98052.
