Ohio Residency Guidelines
|
Top ^
|
The Ohio residency guidelines for tuition purposes can be found at https://www.ohio.edu/admissions/tuition/ohio-residency. Changes from non-resident to resident status are not automatic.
The Residency Information form in the graduate application is used to determine residency status. However, students who had previously been admitted to Ohio University as a non-resident must petition for a change of residency status if they have established themselves as a resident under the resident for tuition purposes policy. Graduate students are notified of their current residency status in the letter of admission sent by the Graduate College. If you believe that your residency status is incorrect, it is your responsibility to contact the Graduate College to discuss the reasons for your residency classification.
Tuition and Fee Rates
|
Top ^
|
Tuition and fee rates can be found at https://www.ohio.edu/bursar/graduate-tuition.
Tuition and fees are assessed based on the number of credit hours of enrollment, Ohio residency, campus, and program. Several colleges assess a technology fee to their students. Additionally, the University assesses a Student Information System/Network fee to all students. Some graduate programs have instructional and general fees that vary from the Athens and Regional Campus amounts.
Tuition scholarships that are a part of graduate appointments or fellowships generally include only the instructional fee, not the general fee, System Network fee, or college-specific fees. A nonresident surcharge is assessed to students who are not residents of the State of Ohio (normally included as part of the tuition scholarship when a graduate appointment is granted). Ohio University reserves the right to make, without prior notice, any fee adjustments that may become necessary.
Current tuition and fee schedules can be found at https://www.ohio.edu/bursar/graduate-tuition.
Ohio University utilizes an electronic billing system. The Office of the Bursar will email an account balance notice to students and their authorized users at the beginning of the month if a payment is due to Ohio University. Balances not paid by the due date will be assessed a 1.5% late payment fee and a financial hold will be placed on the student’s record that prevents adding classes, viewing grades, or receiving a diploma. Payment options are outlined on the Bursar’s website at https://www.ohio.edu/bursar/payment-options.
You are responsible for any University communication sent to you at your official University email address (OHIO account) and/or to the mailing address on file with the Office of the University Registrar.
Late Registration Fees
|

|
Unless your registration has been delayed by the University, you will be charged a fine for late registration after the Friday of the second week of the semester. The fine is $150.
Monthly Payment Plan
|
Top ^ |
Ohio University provides a monthly payment plan. The plan consists of three (3) monthly installments per semester. This plan is not a loan program, and there is no interest charge on payments. For additional information visit the bursar’s website at ohio.edu/bursar/payment-plan.
Students on eligible Graduate Appointments may select a monthly payment plan linked to their Appointment.
University Refund Policy for Withdrawal. Ohio University refunds fees or credits your account according to the following schedule:
- If you officially withdraw from the University (cancellation of registration) before the first day of classes, you are entitled to a 100 percent reduction of tuition and fees.*
- If you officially withdraw from the University through Friday of the second week of the semester (see the academic calendar www.ohio.edu/registrar/calendar), you are entitled to an 80 percent reduction of tuition and fees.*
- If you withdraw from the University after the Friday of the second week of the semester, you are not entitled to a reduction of tuition and fees.*
*These deadlines are based on full semester class enrollment. Deadlines for classes that meet less than a full semester will vary. Refer to Course Offerings for withdrawal deadlines.
If you withdraw from the University before full payment of fees is made, you are considered indebted to the University for the amount determined according to the refund regulations. A hold will be placed on your records until your debt is paid.
Refund Policy for Reducing Course Load. If you drop credit hours before or through the Friday of the second week of the semester, your tuition and fees will adjust downward accordingly. For example, if you are registered for 12 hours and drop a three–hour course, your tuition will adjust downward from full-time to part-time. However, if you have 15 hours and drop to 12 hours, it does not affect the tuition, because the full-time tuition rate applies to a course load of 12 through 20 hours. Course load reductions made after the Friday of the second week of the semester will result in no reduction of tuition and fees. Changing registration that results in increased hours could increase tuition. Further information regarding the refund of fees can be obtained from the Office of the Bursar.
Tuition for summer term is calculated by adding the registration for the full term and the subterms together. The refund policy as stated above also applies to summer term. Your change in enrollment status may result in your having to repay financial aid and/or refunds received for the term.
Listed fees are accurate as of July 2023. Please note that all fees are subject to change without notice. Recurring fees are per semester.
