Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for a student, who is not an Ohio resident, to be eligible for the reduced non-Ohio-resident fee?
To be eligible for the reduced non-Ohio-resident fee, a student must be admitted into an approved fully online degree or certificate program and enrolled in the fully online courses associated with that approved fully online degree or certificate program.
What is the reduced non-Ohio-resident fee for approved fully online degree and certificate programs?
The reduced non-Ohio-resident fee, for approved fully online degree and certificate programs, is: $10 per credit hour. So, the formula for determining cost per credit hour would be: In-state (Ohio resident) tuition + $10 per credit hour non-Ohio-resident fee + $12 per credit hour DL fee.
What happens if the non-Ohio-resident student changes majors to a program that is not an approved fully online degree or certificate program?
The student will no longer be eligible for the reduced non-Ohio-resident fee.
What happens if the non-Ohio-resident student enrolls in one or more face-to-face courses?
The student will no longer be eligible for the reduced non-Ohio-resident fee.
