OHIO Guarantee Fixed Tuition and Fees

The program was designed to take the guesswork out of budgeting for college through a cohort-based, level-rate tuition, housing, dining and fee model that assures students and their families a set of unchanging, comprehensive rates for the pursuit of an undergraduate degree at OHIO.

 

“In 2015, Ohio University was the first public university in the state of Ohio to launch a comprehensive fixed tuition and fee program, and the OHIO Guarantee remains one of the most transparent and all-encompassing of its kind.”

 

Tuition, housing, 4年(或连续12个学期,包括夏季)入学时确定的餐饮和费用费率保持不变。. You will pay a pre-determined amount per semester your first year and for the next three years.

How is my financial aid affected?

Financial aid availability for summer enrollment can vary based on the specific program. Some programs offer an increased amount for three semesters of attendance, while other programs, such as most University-based scholarships, are not available in the summer.
