TUITION AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

Tuition and fees at Ohio University are dependent on several things:

Ohio or non-Ohio residency
the number of credit hours for which you are registered in the term
the campus from which the course is scheduled
if you are enrolled in a distance learning ONLY degree program (bachelor completion programs)
if the course is undergraduate or graduate level

Tuition and fees for classes scheduled from Athens and regional campuses are available from the Bursar. ANY distance learning student may register for these class sections, designated in Course Offerings as sections 100 - 999.

Courses listed under sections beginning with 0 - 99 are reserved for online learning degree students. Tuition for online learning degree courses is $240 per semester hour for Ohio residents and $243 per semester hour for non-Ohio residents. This information also is available from the Bursar.

Tuition for Flexible Courses

Tuition for print-based classes is $219 per credit hour for Ohio residents and $222 per credit hour for non-Ohio residents. Students in print-based courses also will be assessed a $20 course guide fee.

Tuition for independent study portfolio is $108 per credit hour for Ohio residents and $111 per credit hour for non-Ohio residents. Students participating in independent study portfolio will be assessed a $17 per hour individualized course fee.

Tuition for course credit by examination is $108 per credit hour for Ohio residents and $111 per credit hour for non-Ohio residents.

A student information system and network fee is assessed each term and varies depending on full-time ($33) or part-time (based on hours) status. Visit the Bursar's site for more information.

Tuition Estimator

The Ohio University Tuition Estimator is a tool you can use to approximate the cost of tuition and fees per semester. This tool is available on the Office of the Bursar’s tuition and fees page. Special eCampus rates are not included in the estimate. However, students who are taking online courses scheduled from the Athens Campus or one of the regional campuses can get an idea of how much their tuition and fees will be.

Payment Information

Several payment options are available and described HERE.

A payment plan is offered HERE.

Payment for Flexible Courses

All fees must be paid at the time you enroll. If you are enrolled at any campus of Ohio University, the comprehensive fee does not cover flexible course tuition and fees. You must pay the enrollment tuition and fees separately.

Students participating in flexible courses cannot participate in the payment plan offered by the Bursar’s Office.

Nonpayment and Financial Hold

It is your responsibility to drop all your courses if you do not plan to take them in the current term. Your classes will NOT be dropped for non-payment of current term tuition/fees.
Please review the academic calendar for important enrollment dates.
Tuition and fees are due by the Due Date indicated on your My OHIO Student Center Account Inquiry.
A late fee of 1.5% will apply to late payments.
If financial responsibilities have not been met, a student will be placed on financial hold. Students on financial hold are not eligible for registration for future terms and are also prevented from obtaining records such as transcripts and grades.
You may check your account activity on My OHIO Student Center.
