Fees:
Fees for participation in the Early Start Freshman Summer Experience Program include: (1) tuition and general fee charges based on the number of credit hours for which you register, (2) and residence and dining fees if you live on campus.
Residence and dining fees are due by May 30 to secure your space. Individual fees for each housing and dining option are described on the Residence and Dining Form. However, you will receive second session housing for free if you purchase a first session housing contract and a 14 or 20 meal plan both sessions! To receive the discount, you must register for 3 credit hours or more during 2nd session.
Living with a roommate is an important part of college life for first year students and the experience often leads to lifelong friendships. Residence and dining fees may be paid with check or credit card. However, if you wish to pay by credit card, you must make payment for that by accessing CASHNet Smartpay, a third party payment processor at www.cashnetsmartpay.com/OHIO. You will receive confirmation of your participation in the program, along with more specific program information, optional programming seminars, extra curricular events, and roommate details during the week of June 2.
You will register for both 1st and 2nd session classes during the Friday orientation session on June 20. This orientation session is mandatory.
Bills are no longer mailed to Ohio University students and parents. Bills are emailed to students' OAK accounts and will be due upon receipt. Again, these charges may be paid by credit card by accessing www.cashnetsmartpay.com/OHIO. You may also pay by check. Make check payable to Ohio University (please include your PID) and mail to: Ohio University

This course credit will be applied toward an undergraduate degree you may eventually earn from Ohio University or another university. Grades will be posted to your academic record during the week following the end of the session(s) you attend during the summer. |
