Tuition & Financial Support

The University of Cincinnati offers affordable tuition as well as Financial Aid and is here to help you earn your degree and accomplish your goals through UC Online.

While your eligibility for financial aid is mostly the same whether you’re studying on-campus, online, or internationally, you will want to make sure you understand part-time vs. full-time status. Grants can adjust based on enrollment status, and taking annual loan amounts can get a student to their aggregate loan limit more quickly. This is especially important for online students, since they are more likely to enroll part-time.

The Student Financial Aid Office is your best resource to help plan your academic career and using your available financial aid most efficiently. See the links below to find the information you need.
