What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of Olivet?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition at The University of Olivet was $33,676 for both Michigan residents and out-of-state students, with $392 in reported required fees. Typical annual room and board charges totaled $13,198. Together, those listed charges come to $47,266 before books, transportation, personal expenses and any other applicable costs.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $33,676
  • Reported required undergraduate fees: $392
  • Typical annual room charge: $6,742
  • Typical annual board charge: $6,456

These are published charges, not an individual bill or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. Housing choices, meal plans, course materials and travel can change the total. Graduate and part-time students face different rates, so they should use the budget for their own program and enrollment level.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $25,827. Average net price - the cost after grant and scholarship aid - was $20,442 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less. An average does not describe every offer: students should compare their own aid notice with a full expense budget and distinguish grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of Olivet?

Student employment can provide income while enrolled, but a campus job is not the same thing as a grant or a guaranteed part of a financial-aid offer. Students interested in Federal Work-Study should check their aid eligibility and available positions with the financial aid office. A work-study award generally sets an earnings limit; students must obtain a job and earn wages for hours worked.

For career development, the university reports offering undergraduates individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs and opportunities to connect with alumni. On-campus employer recruitment and interview opportunities are also reported. Students seeking a paid role related to a major should ask how campus jobs, internships and employer recruiting are advertised, since an internship is not required of every student and its pay or academic-credit terms may differ from those of a regular job.
