Tuition & Aid

Paying for college is a big financial commitment. At The Ohio State University, the degree or certificate you earn will be from one of the top public universities in the country, and earning it online makes it so much easier to fit into your busy life, as well as a great investment in your future. No matter where you live Ohio State Online is here to help you reach for and achieve a better future for you and your family.

If you need financial aid, we are here to help you through the process. Your aid eligibility will depend on your current income status and how many credit hours you want to take each semester. It is important that you understand part-time vs. full-time status and the implications of aid disbursement as a result. Many times, online learners are part-time given their busy life schedules. At Ohio State, you are considered part-time if you take less than 12 hours as an undergraduate student and less than 8 hours as a graduate student. As a part-time student, you should also be aware of how it may impact any grants or other funding that you may be receiving as well as how your total aid loan amounts may be accumulating.

Financial Aid can be tricky to navigate so please reach out and let us guide you through it! We also have a dedicated Student Financial Aid Office to assist you in planning your academic journey and being able to meet your educational goals.
