Cost of Attendance

The cost of attending Miami includes both: Direct Costs and Indirect Costs.

Direct costs are those that are paid to Miami, like tuition, campus services fees, or other fees directly from Miami.

Indirect Costs are all the other costs that are necessary for your study at Miami, but not paid to Miami. These include expenses like books and course materials, off-campus food, off-campus housing, transportation, medical care, cost of living during University breaks, and all other miscellaneous personal expenses. These costs may vary depending on your circumstances, preferences, and choices, it is possible to have higher personal expenses than what is estimated.

You can use the PNC Student Budget Calculator to better plan for and understand your expenses.

Payment Options

It is your responsibility to pay all fees in a timely manner to avoid late fees and/or cancellation of classes.

Using a credit or debit card to pay for tuition will incur additional service fees.

Important to pay tuition and fees only to Miami University. Report suspected outside agents and companies who fraudulently send you a bill for Miami tuition and fees, and instruct you to pay the company directly.

Important Note About Failure to Pay Tuition Fees

If tuition fees are not paid by the 2nd week of the semester, then a student's classes will be cancelled and a stop will be put on their access to University resources and services.

If a payment plan installment is missed, then the student may be at risk of having their classes canceled, losing access to auxiliary services, being ineligible to receive their transcript, and being unable to register for additional courses.

Students should work with One Stop for billing and payment issues. Reminder that all international students will have verified their funding and confirmed their ability to pay for the cost of attendance and estimated expenses in order to attend Miami.

Please direct any further questions about paying your tuition and fees to the One Stop at OneStop@MiamiOH.edu.
