Is there a fee to pay with credit card?
I see online it points you to mybill, but I can't find anywhere that shows what fee they charge if you do pay by card. Does anyone know the answer?
Thanks!

I'm confused do I have to take all of these classes for liberal arts?
This is for the Bachelor core. I already took one physical science class. I'll be taking Biological in Fall and another one of my choice by Winter term. Here it's saying there is a lab I need to take and a few more classes to take. I'm confused if I need to take all of these classes or is there something I'm overlooking?
To be clear I have Biology in the fall and Climate science in the winter. None of them is counted as a lab. I was told to just select those classes, since the third I could select any of my choosing.

OSU Student Competition Rocketry Team Test Flight (IREC 2026 Test Flight)
This Saturday, the Oregon State University Student Competition Rocketry Team (SCRT) launched "Subject To Change", our competition full-scale launch vehicle, from the high desert in Brothers, Oregon. Powered by an N-class motor, we reached a peak apogee of 12,600 ft. above ground level (AGL). The vehicle also featured live-video streamed during launch!
This launch was an opportunity to learn and validate the incredible amount of work our team has put in over the past year. The rocket achieved stable flight, and our avionics and active-control software performed exactly as designed throughout the mission. While the Blade Extending Altitude Variance System (BEAVS) was unable to actuate due to a mechanical issue caused by high Gs on the assembly, the flight provided invaluable data that will directly improve our system as we work toward our 10k goal. The vehicle also experienced an off-nominal descent due to a combination of factors affecting full main parachute deployment. Despite this, all sections of the rocket were successfully recovered. The team is identifying root causes and implementing improvements as we stay on track to compete at IREC 2026 in Midland, Texas.
Thank you to Oregon Rocketry for hosting the Spring Thunder event in Brothers, Oregon; the College of Engineering; and our sponsors and donors for supporting our team throughout this journey. And thank you to everyone who cheered us on in person and on our livestream. We are incredibly excited for what comes next. Catch us at IREC 2026 🚀

Disability housing
Hi, my roommate got approved for a bathroom in dorm through disability housing, does that mean I will still be her roommate and also get this dorm or will there be some other issue that causes us to not be roommates? Because I know that the disability benefits are for her and thats what it says on the websites. I just want to make sure we wont be separated.

Best dorms overall? (Amenities, social scene, proximity to campus)
As per the title, I'm looking into housing right now and wanted to see which dorms have the best mix of good amenities, a solid social scene and not too far from campus. By social scene I don't mean like, parties 24/7, but people that are talkative and friendly. This school has a lot of residence halls and it seems everyone has mixed opinions about each of them except Mcnary. I really liked Weatherford but it seems exclusive to business majors. If it helps I'm an English Major.

Sharing a survey for GEOG 360
Hey guys!! Thank you so much for sharing your responses to my survey last time I posted. I just want to put out the link one more time before we close it! We are interested in learning more about the bike safety habits of people who park their bikes on the OSU campus. If you ride some sort of micromobility(bike, scooter, skateboard) to campus, if you would fill out this survey, that would be amazing! The information from this survey will not be used for anything besides the class project, and if you want more information on how your responses will be used please reach out!!!
Thank you so much for your time 😃

How is the Political Science Program?
I am very interested in majoring in political science and I want to go to law school. I have been to OSU many times and I love the place but when I do research on the poli sci program everybody is saying it is abysmal.

Question about local housing
Apologies in advance, I know there’s a whole page dedicated to hosting but I noticed it doesn’t seem to get a lot of attention.
I recently got denied approval at the local apartments I was really hoping to get into. This is a serious bummer but obviously I still need to find a place since it’s not an option anymore. I have way more than enough to justify a place for around 1600 a month however the last year I made late payment to my current place. I always paid my rent but sometimes I got behind due to other life issues like my dog being forced to go to the emergency room at midnight because he’s suffering from soft tissue sarcoma (aggressive and terminal cancer). That said, does anyone know if on campus housing could be a better option given my circumstances?
Again sorry for not posting in the housing thread.

Behavior: it seemed like it was using its nose to try and dig around the rocks at the bottom of the creek
Texture: slimy and similar to a newts tail

Teens probably freshman yelling at pedestrians.
Hey y'all just wanted to make a post about a white sedan with some white boys yelling the N word at pedestrians and yelling other derogatory comments. I can take it nothing I ain't ever heard before, but gotta love the welcome I've gotten here so far.
(Edit) I'm not gonna say I get it, I'm a nontraditional student and even when I was just coming out of highschool I wouldn't be acting like those students. But honestly with the amount of crap thats happened at this school in the year I have been here you would think the school would be a bit tighter on its own reputation. But that's just my opinion and like many others here you gotta love paying thousands of dollars to have to worry about what some of these kids are gonna do. It's a systemic problem at every college but if the school really wanted to save face especially in this time they would actually take a stand when it comes to the events that have happened at OSU in the last year alone. But me saying all this or coming forward even in public won't change anything. That much has been proven by the leadership of the school to me at least.

Weekend activity for sad man in red Corvette
On Saturday, you were some sad dude riding around in his Corvette all by himself, with a trailblazer’s license plate numbered similar to “kqw3”— I felt a true sadness as I observed you a few times. You drove back-and-forth in front of the stadium, revving your engine at people waiting in line for fry bread. You then drove back to repeat this same action and then drove the perimeter of campus revving your engine. Like… What is the benefit or purpose of any of this?
I understand getting a thrill but… Is this the best you can do with your money and your free time?

PAC/ALI Classes Out of State Tuition
Hey all,
I'm an non-resident student who switched to online due to cost. I was wondering if the one credit classes for the PAC requirement charge out of state rate for their tuition? I was hoping to take an ALI class for this, but will just do an online one instead if so.

Has anyone heard back about scholarships through ScholarDollars that were due in February? I'm not sure how the timeline works or if I will hear back about anything even if I didn't get any scholarships. Thanks!

Transfer Registration
Hi, I’m a PCC student who’s transferring to OSU this Fall. I’ve already completed my online prepare modules & registered for my launch orientation. But I’m kinda confused on how registering for courses is gonna work, since it looks like I can’t until after I’ve met with an academic advisor after the “Activate” module opens on June 8th. But if class registration for everyone else begins later this week then how am I gonna be able to register for the classes I need, like won’t they be full on/after June 8th? The only 200 level course I still need is MTH 255.
