How can I pay my tuition?

Options are listed below:

1.       Directly wire funds to the university. Information can be found at http://www.units.muohio.edu/internationalprograms/arrivalemail5.php

2.       Open up a local bank account at First Miami, pay the University online, or write a check with your account. Have more flexibility to trace and manage your money in case errors happen during a tuition payment transaction.

3.       Pay by credit card. It is convenient but you will be charged a ‘convenience fee’ that is 2.9% for bills up to $3000 and 2.3% for any amount over $3000.

Note: Pay on time to avoid a $150 late fee.

Why should I establish good credit in the U.S.?

Establish your personal credit history in the United States early to get cheaper debt, larger loans, and easier access to financing in the future. The following could help build your credit history and improve your credit score:

·         Pay utilities and telephone in your name

·         Apply for a department store or gas station card

·         Apply for credit card(s)
