Payment Policy

Registration is $400 per student for students registering by October 31, 2024. The price will increase to $425 for any students registering between November 1-December 1, 2024.

All registrants must pay a non-refundable $100 deposit to secure their spot at College Conference 2024. After paying the deposit, the remaining balance may be partially covered by a scholarship if applied for and awarded through the scholarship application. OCF encourages registrants to register and apply for a scholarship early, as they will be awarded on a rolling basis. If awarded, the student will be notified by email and their account will be credited with the amount awarded. Scholarship applications are open from September 20 to October 31, 2024.

All remaining balances must be paid in full by December 1, 2024. Registrants can create an account and log in to the registration from the link found in their confirmation email to pay their remaining balances. Balances not paid in full by this date will automatically be charged to the original form of payment.

Refund Policy

In the event a participant needs to cancel his/her registration for the College Conference program, all cancellations must be submitted via email communication no later than December 15, 2024, to OCF’s Ministry Coordinator, Ivy Gabriella Tesfay at ivygabriella@ocf.net.

Upon notice of cancellation, any scholarship will be forfeited. Payments, excluding the deposit, will be refunded to the participant on the original form of payment. Refunds will not be issued for requests made after December 15, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET.

Students have the option to add Purchase Protection to their registration which may help facilitate a late refund in the event of unforeseen circumstances preventing them from attending College Conference such as death, health emergencies, crime, transportation failure, and more. To learn more about this option, visit here. Please note that Purchase Protection is offered through a third party and that OCF is not responsible for the actions, decisions, or refunds processed by them.
