The summer semester at the University of Oklahoma provides you with a unique opportunity to get ahead, stay on track or catch up while still enjoying some downtime.
OU summer courses are identical in cost (by hour) to courses offered during the fall and spring semesters at the University of Oklahoma. The cost may vary by course due to college-specific fees associated with each course. For a breakdown of the cost of taking a course in the summer at OU, please click the following link to visit the tuition and fees website.
Full-time undergraduate students who enrolled in fewer than 15 hours per semester may have banked hours to be used during the subsequent summer semester. To confirm banked hours, please contact the Student Financial Center (sfc@ou.edu). Any hours a student may have banked will automatically be used to reduce summer charges for tuition and mandatory hourly fees.
Financial Aid Services - Login to one.ou.edu (opens in new window) for access to the summer financial aid information and the summer application. Go to the "Financial" tab and follow the instructions. You must be admitted to a regular degree program at OU and have the FAFSA on file to get started! OU’s FAFSA school code is 003184.
The Summer Semester 2025 financial aid disbursement date has been affected by the schedule change to move straight to Summer Semester without a Spring Session. Be advised that if you are enrolled in the Summer Semester blocks beginning May 12, 2025, your financial aid will be disbursed approximately one week after the start of classes. We hope this notice allows you prepare in advance for a delayed disbursement.
For students not enrolled in the Summer Semester courses which begin on May 12, disbursement will occur 10 days prior to the first day of the student’s first course.;
If you were eligible for Pell during the fall and spring semesters, you may be eligible to receive up to a full-time award for summer courses. Students who were enrolled full-time during the fall and spring semesters will need to complete at least 6 hours during the summer to qualify for a Summer Pell Grant.
