Financial Check-In (FCI)
All students must complete Financial Check-In (FCI) each semester — even if they have a zero-dollar balance, a balance requiring a payment arrangement, or are faculty or staff utilizing continuing education. During this process, you’ll confirm your courses, select a residence hall, choose a dining plan (if applicable), and make financial arrangements.
Here’s what you’ll do during Financial Check-In:
- Confirm your course schedule
- Select a Residence Hall (if applicable)
- Select a Dining Plan (if applicable)
- Select a Payment Plan (if applicable)
- The earlier FCI is completed, the better your monthly payment plan options are because you have more time to complete the plans
- All web and installment payments must be set up using a checking account. Money market accounts and savings accounts cannot be used as per Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements.
FCI Deadlines
If FCI is not completed by the deadline, your courses, and housing (if applicable) may be dropped and a $150 late fee may be assessed. LUO students who plan to attend multiple sub-terms in a given semester should register for all of the courses and then complete FCI once for that semester. If additional sub-term courses are added, FCI must be recompleted to secure the new courses. The Academic Calendar is another useful resource for deadlines.
