Interest Charges on Past Due Accounts
The Miami University Board of Trustees authorizes charging interest equal to the then current prime rate plus 3 percent on charges that are not paid within 90 days of the due date. Full collection costs may also be charged if it becomes necessary to send a past due account to a third party collection agent.
|
Financial Obligations
The Board of Trustees authorizes the Bursar to restrict any services, including release of all academic records of a student or former student (e.g., grades, diploma, and transcripts), until any past due amount owed to the university, including but not limited to fees, tuition, charges, fines, and loans due to the university, is paid in full. The Bursar may also refuse payment for a subsequent term until a student's past due account is paid in full. Past due means unpaid for 60 or more days after the due date, except that an account paid with a bad check is past due on the day the check is returned from the bank.
|
Questions about refunds should be directed to the Cashier's Office. The date when you withdraw or drop is the date that you formally withdraw or drop at the Office of the Registrar.

Computer Technology: Associate in Applied Science
For information contact the coordinator of computer technology and systems analysis, 532A Mosler Hall (513-785-3261) on the Hamilton campus or 233 Johnston Hall (513-727-3373) on the Middletown campus. Two options are available for students who wish to earn an associate's degree.
The Associate's Degree Transfer Option is designed for students who eventually plan to obtain a bachelor's degree in systems analysis. It allows you to earn an associate's degree by completing the first two years of the bachelor's degree program and then continuing at the Oxford campus with junior standing to complete the bachelor's degree. Students who wish to find employment after completing the Associate's Degree Transfer Option requirements are prepared for positions as computer programmers and system support personnel.
The Associate's Degree Option is designed for students who plan to earn an associate's degree and find employment. This option allows you to focus on one of three specialty areas: programming, microcomputer software support, or microcomputer system support. The programming specialty area prepares you to design, create, and maintain computer programs in several languages. The microcomputer software support specialty prepares you to use general-purpose application software, create specialized programs, and support software users. The microcomputer system support specialty prepares you for hardware/software installation and maintenance, troubleshooting, and network support. If you decide to pursue a bachelor's degree in systems analysis after completing this option, you will need additional courses to fulfill the Miami Plan for Liberal Education as well as the courses required for the systems analysis major.
