Because of federal regulations, study abroad students must receive their financial aid at the same time as those studying on the Miami University campus.

If your fees are due at another institution prior to the disbursement dates set by Miami Univeristy, you should be prepared to pre-pay the bill and wait for the financial aid funds to be refunded to you. Keep in mind that the purchase of your airline ticket and other costs may come due before you receive your financial aid. You should make arrangements to take care of these bills prior to the release of your aid. It is also important to realize financial aid funds may not cover the full expenses you may incur while studying abroad.
