Late Fees on Past Due Accounts
The Miami University Board of Trustees authorizes charging late fees 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., diploma, transcripts), and registration for future semesters, 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. 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. All registration-related fees are considered due on the first day of the term for which they are assessed.
Refund of Charges
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.
Dropped Workshops
To receive a refund for a workshop, you must drop the workshop no later than 4:30 p.m. the last business day before the workshop begins.

*When a student withdraws completely from the University during a semester, the Office of Student Financial Assistance is required to calculate, using a statutory pro rata schedule, the amount of federal Title IV financial aid the recipient has earned for the semester. This schedule is provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The amount of title IV financial aid earned is based on the length of time the student spent in academic attendance. The Office of the Registrar will inform the Office of Student Financial Assistance of the date the student notified Miami of the intent to withdraw. This date is used to calculate aid eligibility. If you are thinking about withdrawing, please contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance for information on how it will affect your financial aid.

For information contact the Department of Chemistry, Middletown campus (513-727-3372).
Chemical technology is the application of chemistry principles to everyday problems that confront industry, hospitals, and private and governmental laboratories. Chemical technicians are members of research and development teams that investigate new materials to determine their properties, reactions, and applications. They set up and run chemical reactions, test for quality and performance, act as troubleshooters, and operate sophisticated laboratory instrumentation. Chemical technicians find careers in industrial laboratories, manufacturing plants, agricultural and clinical facilities, and energy production sites.
This program provides graduates with a sound foundation in both applied and theoretical chemistry and valuable laboratory experiences that are common to a wide variety of industrial and clinical laboratories.

Computer and Information Technology: Associate in Applied Science
Computer and information technology focuses on the development and support of computing systems. With the proliferation of computers into every aspect of business and industry there is a documented need for technically skilled professionals who can design computer programs and systems, produce and manipulate digital media, support users, and provide administration and maintenance of computer networks.
The Computer and Information Technology Associate Degree allows you to choose one of four concentrations that are essential to contemporary computing: networking, software development and support, IT support, or visual media technology. The networking concentration prepares students to design, install, support, and maintain security for computer networks, maintain hardware and software, and analyze and troubleshoot problems. The software development and support concentration prepares students to design, create, and maintain software in a variety of current programming languages, to understand and use operating systems, and to support application programs. The IT support concentration prepares students to meet the needs of today's employers who are looking for help desk staff familiar with standard support methodologies, have strong problem solving skills, and good interpersonal communication skills. The visual media technology concentration combines the study of art and technology to allow students to produce and manipulate visual media using technology for computer-based communication, marketing, education, and entertainment. All concentrations lead to an Associate Degree in Applied Science with a major in Computer and Information Technology.

The computer technology major (continuation option), is designed for students who wish to earn an associate degree and ultimately obtain a bachelor's degree from the Computer Science and Systems Analysis Department at the Oxford campus. It allows students to complete an Associate Degree in Applied Science by taking approximately half of the courses for the Computer Science or Systems Analysis bachelor's degree major. After completing the associate degree, students may relocate to the Oxford campus and continue with junior standing. Students who wish to find employment after completing this associate degree are prepared for positions such as computer programmers and system support personnel.

One of the following science sequences in natural science (12-13 semester hours) must be taken: CHM 137 or 141, and 142, 144, 145 plus Miami Plan biological science; MBI 115, 116 plus Miami Plan physical science; or PHY 181, 184 plus Miami Plan biological science. A total of at least 12 semester hours of natural sciences is required with a lab experience. Students should consult with their academic adviser to identify the appropriate science courses needed to fulfill all requirements.
** Students should check the Miami Bulletin course descriptions to ensure that they have taken the proper prerequisites for these CSA 200-level courses. When choosing these electives, students should be aware of the information below (see chart) relative to the CSA bachelor's degree requirements for a major in Computer Science or Systems Analysis. A course marked as "n/a" for a particular major is a free elective course and does not count toward major requirements. Consult with an adviser for more information.

Co-op is available on an alternating or parallel semester basis. Students either alternate semesters between work and studies or work while taking classes. For a co-op curriculum schedule, contact the Co-op/Placement Office at 123 Rentschler Hall (513-785-3113) on the Hamilton campus or at 1 Johnston Hall (513-727-3431) on the Middletown campus.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology:
Associate in Applied Science (66 semester hours)
This program, accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET), includes course work in both electrical and electronic fields. It provides depth and breadth in the fundamentals as well as in the advanced technology found in modern electrical/electronic and computing systems. Hands-on labs are used to reinforce concepts taught in the classroom. Students develop the ability to analyze, synthesize, and solve technical problems. Topics of study include AC and DC circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, programmable logic controllers, microprocessors, personal computer architecture, local area networks (LAN), and C++ and assembly language programming.
Graduates work as electronic technicians, electrical maintenance technicians, computer maintenance and network technicians, engineering assistants, computer and PLC programmers, and many other related paraprofessional positions. Graduates may also choose to continue their education toward a Bachelor of Applied Science degree.
