What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Akron Wayne College?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Wayne College was $6,988 for Ohio residents and $14,668 for nonresidents. Required fees were $735 for either group, bringing reported tuition and required fees to approximately $7,723 for residents and $14,415 for nonresidents.

  • Ohio-resident, part-time tuition: approximately $291 per credit hour.
  • Nonresident, part-time tuition: approximately $611 per credit hour.
  • Reported books-and-supplies estimate: $1,200.

Tuition and fees are not a complete attendance budget. Commuters also need to plan for transportation, meals, supplies and other personal expenses. A reported room-and-board figure should not be read as the price of a Wayne College residence hall: the campus does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount a student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 94% of students received some form of financial aid, while 9% had student loans; those measures describe different types of assistance and should not be added together. Eligible students may consider federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, loans and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA is the starting point for federal aid and many need-based awards. Reported average net prices varied by family-income group - for example, about $4,100 for families earning up to $48,000 - but an individual offer depends on eligibility, enrollment and living arrangements.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Akron Wayne College?

Wayne College students can explore part-time employment and career support through University of Akron services, but Federal Work-Study is not an automatic job assignment. Work-Study eligibility is determined through financial aid; students generally must also find an available position and meet the employer's hiring requirements. Ordinary student jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules.

Reported career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé help, career-interest assessment, job interviews, employer referrals, job fairs and on-campus recruitment. These services can help students explore occupations and prepare applications; they are not verified job-placement outcomes. Students seeking a position compatible with classes in Orrville should confirm where a job is located and whether its hours fit their commute.
