OTA Tuition Payment Options

Our Student Accounts office offers several OTA tuition payment options, from paying online via KatePay to paying in person by check. Typically, payment for each semester is due in full by the first day of class. However, you can enroll in a payment plan that spreads your costs across the semester. At the start of each semester, we offer a ten-day window where you can sign up for a payment plan in KatePay.
