The OHIO Guarantee+
At Ohio University, we have long been committed to affordability, predictability, and cost transparency through our OHIO Guarantee, providing level-rate tuition, housing, dining, and fees locked in for 12 consecutive semesters. Now, we’re taking that commitment to a whole new level by delivering an individualized graduation plan that ensures you’ll graduate on time and on plan, or we’ll make it right, including covering the cost of additional courses if necessary. That way, you know the total cost of college from the start. Plus, we’re expanding access to alumni-only scholarships for continuing education as well as career counseling for life. It goes beyond a guaranteed price to deliver real return on your investment. It's the OHIO Guarantee+.
