Application Checklist

Note: An application is considered received if the Main Application Form and Application Fee are received by the application deadline provided in the schedule of fees and deadlines.

1. Use the "send money" feature on your paypal account at www.paypal.com. This feature is ideal for the application fees only. Send fee amount to quetzil@osea-cite.org

2. Send a personal check, money order or cashier's check made payable to “OSEA”. Mail to:
Quetzil Castañeda
Director, OSEA
2244 Martha Street

3. Direct wire transfer (bank to bank) or electronic deposit can be arranged for an additional fee of $15. Please contact the OSEA Director to confirm arrangements. This method is ideal for late payments due.

Please note that PayPal payment is not always available for programs and is not recommended for payment of registration fee and tuition balance. If you choose to pay by paypal any charges other than the application fee, you will be charged an additional service fee of 3% of the amount due OSEA. If you select paypal as payment method you will need to calculate this additional fee amount and it to the amount of the payment. The 3% fee amount is significantly higher than the cost of a direct wire tansfer.
