Non-Tuition Costs
To help you project your non-tuition expenses, UC's Student Financial Aid Office estimates average amounts for several student groups and cost categories. Personal expenses vary from student-to-student but understanding these costs help students plan for expenses beyond tuition.
Estimated costs are based on at least half-time (5 hours per term) attendance. Expenses are based on individual student costs and do not include spouse or dependent costs.
Note: Non-tuition costs are based on Cincinnati metro area rates/prices. Non-tuition costs for online learners outside of this region will vary.
