MIAMI’S

2019 – 2020

We understand that choosing a college is one of the most important decisions you and your family will ever make. That’s why we offer an extra layer of assurance: Miami’s Tuition Promise.

It’s our guarantee to all first-time undergraduate

students and their families that tuition (instructional fee

and general fee), room and board, special purpose fees,

and course fees will be frozen, making them completely

predictable for four years.

With this additional level of certainty, you and your

family will be able to confidently plan your financial

investment in a Miami University education. And you

can rest assured that your renewable scholarships and

financial aid dollars will maintain their value over the

four years of your Miami experience.

How long does Miami’s Tuition Promise last?

The four academic years of the tuition promise include eight consecutive semesters, in addition to four

winter and four summer terms. Tuition is set by Miami’s Board of Trustees each academic year and

guaranteed regardless of enrollment status (full- or part-time or not enrolled) for eight consecutive

semesters for each entering cohort. Winter and summer terms are charged separately based on the

guaranteed cohort per-credit-hour rate.

Who qualifies for Miami’s Tuition Promise?

Miami’s Tuition Promise applies to first-time undergraduate students — both Ohio and non-Ohio

resident first-year, transfer, or international students who enroll in a degree-seeking program on

Miami’s Oxford campus.

MAKING THE COST OF COLLEGE

PREDICTABLEWhat is included in Miami’s Tuition Promise?

The program covers tuition (instructional fee and general fee), room and board, special purpose fees,

and course fees. Fees are charged to all students for non-instructional services and programs on campus,

such as student life facilities, programs, and transportation. Special purpose fees help defray the cost

of some specialized academic programs, and course fees may offset the cost of instructional materials

or other costs associated with the course.

What costs are not included as part of Miami’s Tuition Promise?

Other fees and charges incurred by students for items such as vehicle registration, textbook purchases

or rentals, and library and parking fees and fines, are excluded from the guarantee program and may

be subject to price changes. Miami University seeks to limit increases to these costs.

Are room and board included?

Room and board, often referred to as housing and

meals, are also fixed for each cohort. Students

pay a fee based on the housing and meal plan

selected. If a student chooses a different

residential or meal plan option after enrolling,

the fixed cost will be adjusted based on the rates

set at the time of initial enrollment.
