4. The One Stop provides front facing customer service for students who have
questions related to billing and payment options, financial assistance and
registration. We also provide support to our Military Affiliated Families.
We are conveniently located on the corner of Campus Avenue and Spring Street
in a building newly named Nellie Craig Walker Hall (formally Campus Avenue
Building).
Much of the information provided in this presentation is available on our website
at MiamiOH.edu/OneStop.
These services are provided to students virtually (by appointment), in-person,
over the phone, or via email. However, we are also able to discuss these topics
with anyone who has been granted access by the student. They can provide
authorization through FERPA.

6. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act or FERPA is a federal law that
protects the privacy of student education records, both financial and academic.
Students can grant access to others to view their financial and academic records.
Without this access we will not be able to discuss information regarding the
student’s bill, balance or payment, class schedule, grades, financial aid or
housing and meal plans.
The student only has to give authorization once, they can remove authorization at
any time, and they can limit what access they want available.
For more information on FERPA, please visit our website
MiamiOH.edu/FERPA.

Throughout the course of the semester, there may be
additional fees that accrue on a student’s account. These
fees can include Student Health Service charges, library
fines, parking fines. Students will be notified of these
additional charges through monthly email notifications.
Billing Notifications

9. There are many different forms of payments that we accept. We are pleased to offer secure online
service to pay your bill. Our secure online service accepts payments by eCheck (electronic check)
and credit cards. If you pay with a credit card, you will be charged a convenience fee.
Interest free payment plans are available through Nelnet Campus Solutions to allow families to
budget each semester’s bill over a period of three or four consecutive months. Families incur a
nominal enrollment fee and there are no interest charges. Enrollment does not require a credit
check.
Payment plans can be made for fall and spring semesters.
If the student’s account balance changes, please be sure to contact Nelnet. If you make a payment
with the University, you will need to contact Nelnet directly or visit their website to adjust the
payment plan balance. For more information and instructions please visit
miamioh.edu/paymentplan.

529 Payment Plans

13. We highly encourage students to sign up for direct deposit
through RedHawk Refunds – this will be the most efficient way
for students to receive a refund of any credit balance and
reduces questions on correct mailing addresses.
If you choose RedHawk Refunds, you can specify a bank account
(savings or checking) where we can direct deposit the funds.
If the student wants the credit to go directly to the parent or
guardian’s account they can use the parent’s account
information to set up RedHawk Refunds.
Parents who have Parent Plus loans are unable to sign up for
direct deposit to receive credits from the loan’s disbursement.
They can, however, indicate on their Plus application they would
like the refund sent to the student. If this option is checked, the
student will receive the refund deposited in the account that
the student specified.
What is RedHawk Refunds?
RedHawk Refunds is a FREE service to
receive refunds from financial aid,
students accounts and other funds
owed by Miami.
