Remission Information
Introduction to Tuition & Fee Remission
Tuition and Fee Remission: Quarterly payment made by URISE on your behalf to pay for tuition and fees required by your academic program (Fall, Winter, Spring)
You will receive three (3) tuition and fee remission payments for each academic year you are active in the program - one in Fall, Winter, and Spring. Remission payments will be based on the tuition assessed by your academic department and standard fees. Remissions will be disbursed starting the Friday before the first day of term, through the end of the 2nd week of term. The URISE remission rate depends on your residency status. For residents, 60% of tuition and fees for 12 credits; for non-residents and WUE program participants, 60% of 1.5 times the resident rate for 12 credits. The remission will come in the form of a payment directly to your student account, and will not follow the larger financial disbursement timeline.

General Information
Does not include health insurance; click here for information and waiver for PSU’s health insurance
Differential tuition rate will be applied when necessary (aka some majors and programs have a different tuition amount)
Total amount calculated based on the 23-24 year tuition and fee schedule
URISE tuition & fee remissions are disbursed through the financial aid office, so are calculated as part of your total aid package
If you have other tuition and/or fee remissions, let URISE know (urise@pdx.edu) so that we can coordinate your aid with those departments
When is Remission Processed?
Remission is disbursed once quarterly: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Payments are processed manually by URISE Staff.
You won’t see the remission in your student account until we make the payment (think of it like we make a credit card payment). Until then you will see your financial support in the award section of BanWeb (BanWeb>Student Finances > View and Accept My Award > Additional Resources
Trainees must be enrolled at PSU in at least 12 credits to initiate EACH term's remission payment
We have until Friday of the 2nd week of term to disburse remission. After that, we are unable to process remission. If remissions are not processed by then, you will be temp. withdrawn.
Trainee must complete all requirements by the 2nd Wednesday of the term. This ensures we have time to process the remission before the deadline (2nd Friday of the term). This includes
Registering full time for the applicable term
Submitting any outstanding MRFs
We typically make payments before the PSU Payment Plan deadline; if there is a URISE caused delay and you receive a late fee, please email urise@pdx.edu.
