Student Accounts & Bursar
The Office of the Bursar manages billing and the collection of student account balances at OCOM. All current academic year and term charges are posted to each student’s account, which can be easily accessed through the Populi portal.
Student Financial Aid Awards
Each year, newly admitted and continuing OCOM students receive an email detailing their estimated cost of attendance and financial aid award package for the upcoming academic year from Financial Aid. To help ensure your funds are ready when you need them, please make sure your financial aid awards are approved at least two weeks before Orientation or the first day of classes.
Disbursement and Refunds
All financial aid funds are first applied to any outstanding charges on a student’s account. Once those charges are covered, any remaining funds for the semester are issued as a refund to help with living expenses. Refunds are sent via direct deposit to the bank account designated by the student. For specific disbursement dates, please see the Student Accounts Calendar linked below. Since refunds cover the entire payment term, students are encouraged to plan and budget accordingly.
Please note that OCOM has 14 days to disburse any loan overage. To help expedite this process, be sure to check your emails regularly and respond promptly, as overages are processed in the order that completed information is received.
Student Financials
The OCOM Office of Financial Aid partners closely with the Bursar’s Office to provide comprehensive, high-quality support to our medical students. We serve as a resource and liaison, helping students navigate their accounts while ensuring all activities and interactions comply with Federal, State, and College regulations.
