Tuition and COA

Oakland University does not have any hidden fees. In fact, OU is the only public university in Michigan that doesn't charge fees. The cost you see for tuition and on-campus housing, if applicable, is what you will pay. It is important though to think about the total billable and non-billable expenses of attending college, such as living off campus or with parents, textbooks, and transportation. The cost of books, materials, supplies, and equipment will vary depending on the courses you take; please see OU's Cost of Attendance charts below for more information and estimates.
