Miami University-Hamilton Admissions
Miami University-Hamilton applies an open-enrollment policy strictly for new students entering in the first year of a study program that do not have previous college experience (and, of course, who possess either a high school diploma or a GED). Other prospective student classifications, whether returning former student, transfer student, transient student, or unclassified, are subject to separate (and more rigorous) admissions criteria.
Miami University-Hamilton prospective students can apply online as well as by regular mail. Applications should normally be submitted during the semester previous to the semester in which studies would presumably begin. In addition to the application form and the application fee, students should have their SAT or ACT scores sent along as well, in addition to official transcripts of high school and/or college studies (students that have already been out of high school for a period greater than two years or who are not pursuing a degree program do not need to send their SAT or ACT scores).

Miami University-Hamilton Financial Aid
As a participating institution of the US federal government’s Title IV financial assistance programs, Miami University-Hamilton offers students a wide variety of potential financial aid resources to be taken advantage of. A broad gamut of grants, scholarships and loans as well as federal work-study opportunities are available. Scholarships are in their most part dependent on demonstrated academic achievement, where as most loans are contingent upon demonstrated financial need. Prospective students should submit their FAFSA application as early as possible to receive federally subsidized or partially-subsidized loans (which are doled out on a first-come, first-serve basis at the national level). Usually, the timeframe for submitting the FAFSA form for first year and transfer students falls in mid-February, whereas the priority date for returning students is in mid-March, as is the due date for most scholarship applications.
