Tuition & Fees

The Cincinnati Tuition Guarantee is a cohort-based program that sets tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board at a consistent rate for up to four or five years, depending on the length of a student's academic program. Incoming first-year students pursuing associate degrees who have a bachelor's degree path or students in associate degree programs who plan to pursue a full bachelor's degree are covered by the Cincinnati Tuition Guarantee for four years upon beginning their studies at UC.

The Cincinnati Tuition Guarantee will also apply to incoming first-year and transfer undergraduate students entering in future years at a tuition rate that may be slightly higher based on the average consumer price index.

Full-time students typically finish their degree in two semesters. In this case, your total tuition and fees are based on two semesters of the full-time rate. Alternatively, the part-time tuition and fees are calculated on a per-credit-hour basis. Because the program is 27 credit hours, your tuition would be 27 times the part-time rate.

You are considered a full-time student when enrolled in courses totaling 12 credit hours or more.
