Tuition and COA
Oakland University does not have any hidden fees. In fact, OU is the only public university in Michigan that doesn't charge fees. The cost you see for tuition and on-campus housing, if applicable, is what you will pay. It is important though to think about the total billable and non-billable expenses of attending college, such as living off campus or with parents, textbooks, and transportation. The cost of books, materials, supplies, and equipment will vary depending on the courses you take; please see OU's Cost of Attendance charts below for more information and estimates.

Non-Resident Status: Non-resident students are required to pay non-resident tuition rates according to university policy referenced in university catalogs.

Loans and Educational Benefits: The University may provide, extend or advance funds, credits and/or other financial accommodations to students, to be applied towards their tuition and/or charges, with the understanding that students will re-pay those amounts. All such amounts, other than scholarships, fellowships, stipends and/or tuition waivers, are loans and/or educational benefits which students must repay to the University together with late payment charges as established by the University. In consideration for allowing students to attend classes, students agree to repay the University for those loans and/or educational benefits.
