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.
| Cost | Amount |

| Housing and Food | $17,232 |
| Books and Course Materials | $1,300 |
| Transportation (if Ohio, metro, or reciprocity tuition rate) |

| Transportation (if non-resident tuition rate) |
$2,610 |
| Miscellaneous | $4,680 |
