What is the cost of studying for a year at Ottawa University-Online?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Ottawa University-Online's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $11,976, with $1,320 in required fees, for a combined $13,296 in tuition and required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $499 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $11,682, plus $1,320 in required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $649 per credit hour.

These published charges are not a complete annual budget. Books, technology, transportation, living expenses, and any program-specific charges can raise the total cost of attendance; a student taking fewer credits may also be billed differently from a full-time student. The figures above describe one reporting year and should not be combined with a newer tuition schedule to produce a purported single-year total.

Financial aid changes what a particular student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $7,131, and 41% of students received student loans. An average grant is not a guaranteed discount, and loans must generally be repaid. Applicants should compare their individual aid offer with a current, program-specific cost estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ottawa University-Online?

Online students can pursue employment while studying, but ordinary part-time work, internships, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that provides wages for eligible employment; it is not an automatic tuition reduction or a guaranteed job.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and ask Ottawa University's financial aid office whether their online program and enrollment status qualify, what positions are accessible remotely or locally, and how hiring works. Those who do not qualify may still seek regular employment. Ottawa University's career-support offerings should be checked separately from aid eligibility: help with a résumé or job search does not imply that a paid position or postgraduation job will be provided.
