2011-2012 Tuition, Fees, and Cost of Attendance
Resident/Nonresident Status
All students who are not Ohio residents are required to pay a nonresident tuition surcharge. A student is responsible for informing the University Registrar of factors that affect residency status and fee assessments. A student should resolve questions or problems about Ohio residency before enrollment. Click here for more information on Ohio residency.
Residency information provided by the student will be assessed at the time of registration. Each student's registration will later be verified by the University Auditor. Appropriate additional charges or refunds may be made if a student's residency status was incorrectly classified for tuition purposes.
Forever Buckeye: Reduced Tuition for Nonresident Students
If you are currently a resident of a state other than Ohio but graduated from a high school in Ohio, you may be eligible for resident tuition, which is currently 40% less than nonresident tuition. Click here for more information.
Installment Payment Plan
Information about the Installment Payment Plan (IPP) is available here. Generally, four monthly payments may be made each semester. A modest administrative fee is charged for each semester. The IPP program allows students to secure classes if financial aid is not available at the time fees are due.
Please address all installment payment plan inquiries to
