Basic Cost

Basic expenses for the academic year 2026-2027 are approximately $46,927 per semester (tuition, fees, housing, and food). The student should allow additional funds for such expenses as books, laundry, personal items, and entertainment.

Tuition

The 2026-2027 semester tuition charge of $35,150 includes full-time instruction in an average program of study, use of facilities and equipment, medical and health service, and library service. Students who do not waive their health insurance option will be billed for health insurance.

Part-time students (with a course load of fewer than twelve semester hours) are charged $2,795 for each semester hour. This charge does not include medical and health service. There is an additional charge for living and traveling expenses incurred in these courses. These costs are announced at the time of registration for the course.

Housing and Food

The 2026-2027 cost of housing and food averages $6,611 for housing and $4,592 for food per semester. This rate applies to a double-occupancy and a standard triple residence hall room and meal plan. Residence hall rooms commonly are furnished with beds, mattresses, desks, chairs, dressers, and sinks. Single rooms entail an additional charge and are not available to first-year students.

Oxford College is a residential campus. In certain cases, commuter status is granted to students who successfully petition the college to be exempt from the residency requirement. These students must live with a parent or guardian and provide a plan to be engaged in the campus community.

Students who have special circumstances can request to be exempt from the residency requirement upon petition. Please contact the Residential Education and Services Department for more information.
