Update to myMiami for Families
With the August 1, 2022 launch, myMiami for Families will now be called Student Information for Families. Starting August 2, 2022, the URL you may have been using to access your student's information will no longer function. The URL going forward is http://www.apps.miamioh.edu/families/.
Beyond the URL change and a new appearance, the new system will contain all of the prior functionality and access as well as an easier search experience and greater security!
If you have not already set up an account, you can Request Access to a Student's Personal Records. If you have questions about the new system or requesting access, please contact Parent and Family Programs at parents@MiamiOH.edu or (513) 529-3436.

Fall 2022 Meal Plan Reminder
Students were emailed a reminder regarding the fall 2022 meal plan selection on July 17. The purpose of the email was to inform them of the meal plan selected for fall 2022 and a reminder about the deadline to change the meal plan for fall semester.
The last day to make changes is Monday, August 22, 2022. If students would like to change their Fall meal plan, they need to login to their Online Housing Account (www.miamioh.edu/housingcontract), click on the "Register for Housing" link, and then navigate to the meal plan tab of the housing application. The current selection is displayed in the drop-down list following the list of all meal plan options. If your student chooses to change their current plan, select a new plan in the drop-down menu and then select the "Save & Continue" button.
Learn more about Meal Plan options at: www.miamioh.edu/MealPlans
Contact the Campus Services Center at CampusServicesCenter@MiamiOH.edu with meal plan questions.
