Tuition Payment Guide

Enroll in a Payment Plan

Our Payment Plans give families the option to budget each semester’s bill over a three- or four-month period with zero interest and no credit check.

There is a $40 fee for the four-pay plan, and a $45 fee for the three-pay plan.

If you make a change to your course schedule or receive additional funding, be sure to update your plan to reflect your new balance.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

To be considered for all available need-based financial aid and scholarships, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year by Miami’s priority deadlines. If you are a returning student, you have the option to renew your FAFSA.

Complete all unsatisfied requirements and holds in Banner 9 Self Service - Financial Aid’s Home tab. Missing requirements will delay payment of financial aid and could disrupt your enrollment. 

You can accept or decline your student loans in Banner 9 Self Service - Financial Aid’s Financial Aid Offer tab. First-time federal student loan borrowers must complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN).

Parents or graduate students planning to borrow a PLUS loan must complete the application and the MPN.

International Student Payments

Students can make international payments and enroll in payment plans through Flywire.

Flywire allows you to pay in your home currency with favorable exchange rates. If enrolling in a payment plan, installments are due on the 10th of each month.

Veteran and Military Student Payments

You will apply for benefits on VA.gov as part of the application process.

While most of the tasks on our Veterans Benefits Checklist only need to be completed during your application process, you must submit the VA Benefit Request Form every semester at Miami.

Chapter 33/Post 9/11 GI Bill® students must also submit a Certificate of Eligibility.

If you have questions, email veterans@MiamiOH.edu.

529 Plans and Trust Payments

Students can use 529 College Savings Plans or Trusts to pay tuition. Notify your 529 or Trust Administrator, and they will submit the funds to us electronically or by check.

Many 529 plans now offer electronic delivery, a faster and more secure alternative to mailed checks. Check with your 529 provider to see if this option is available.

If your 529 payment is running late and may not arrive or be received by Miami’s semester deadline, notify us using the 529 College Savings Plan and Trust Form. The form, which requires you to log in, will allow you to upload documentation of the requested funds.

Submit Your 529 Payment Confirmation
