Residency Requirements for Subsidy and Tuition Surcharge Purposes
The following persons are classified as Ohio residents for subsidy and tuition surcharge purposes:
- A dependent student with at least one parent or guardian who has been an Ohio resident for twelve consecutive months or more before the student’s enrollment.
- A person who has been an Ohio resident for twelve consecutive months or more before enrollment and who has not received, in those twelve months, financial support from non-Ohio residents or entities.
- A dependent child of a parent or guardian, or the spouse of a person who, on the first day of enrollment, has accepted full-time employment and established a home in Ohio for reasons other than the benefit of favorable tuition rates.
- Any Ohio high school graduate who has left the state but has returned to Ohio to pursue their post-secondary education and therefore qualifies for in-state tuition. Commonly referred to as Forever Buckeye.
- Ohio GI Promise - By demonstrating at least one year of honorable service and upon establishing domicile in Ohio, veterans and their families will immediately be treated as in-state residents for tuition, state educational subsidies, and financial aid purposes.
Other classifications for residency may be applicable. Questions regarding residency requirements should be directed to the College Registrar.
U.S. citizens and resident immigrant aliens who were originally classified as non-Ohio residents may petition for a change of residency status after residing in Ohio for at least a 12 month period. Students should file a request in writing to the College Registrar. Additional documentation may be requested.

Laboratory Fees
Laboratory fees are assessed for the costs of supplies and materials used in selected laboratory courses. Amounts due for individual courses are specified on the official schedule of classes published each term. All online courses are subject to a lab fee.
Library & Technology Fee
A Library and Technology fee of $9 per credit hour is charged for each class during the term.
Registration Fee
A $10 (nonrefundable) fee is charged per term.
Student Activities Fee
A Student Activities Fee of $2 per credit hour is charged for each class during the term. Classes delivered totally online are exempt from this fee.
Tuition and Fee Payment Policy
Students can view their billing for the term approximately six weeks prior to the start of the semester on the student portal. Paper statements will not be mailed. Balances are due two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Charges must be covered by one of the following:
- Paid in full using cash, check, MasterCard, VISA, or Discover credit cards (in person, by phone or online using Banner Self-Service)
- Paid through a payment plan
- Approved for payment by a third-party source such as an employer (as evidenced by the completion of an authorization form)
- Approved as financial aid pending on Banner Self-Service
In the event that these conditions are not met, the registration may be canceled.
Students with canceled registrations are encouraged to make necessary payment arrangements and register again.
Payment Plan
If a student is unable to pay all of the charges at registration time, a payment plan can be arranged at the Cashier’s Office. This plan allows students to pay under installments of all charges for the term, plus a $20 one-time (nonrefundable) fee, by the payment due date. If the first payment is not received by the due date, the student’s classes will be subject to cancellation.
Other Fees

Refunds
When a student enrolls for a course and later officially withdraws from the course, tuition and fees will be refunded based on the date of the official withdrawal.
To complete an official withdrawal, a student must withdraw from classes through Banner Self-Service. The percentage of refund is based on when the official withdrawal occurs and the length of enrollment in the course measured in calendar days from the beginning of the term.
An official withdrawal on the following calendar days entitles the student to the following refund percentage of instructional, general, lab, library, technology and student activities fees:
Refund of Instructional, General, Lab, and Student Activities Fees
| 1-7 Calendar Days |
100% |
| 8-14 Calendar Days |
50% |
| After 14 Calendar Days |
No Refund |
Response to Students Called to Active Military Duty
If a student is a military service member and is called to active duty during an academic term, then the student may request one of two options in regard to coursework. The first option is to officially withdraw and receive a 100% tuition and fee refund. The second option is to be issued an incomplete grade for the course. The student will be extended a reasonable period of time to complete the course requirements. A reasonable period of time will be determined by the instructor in conjunction with the dean of the academic division in which the course is held.
To request option one, the student must present proof of the call to active duty status to the Student Records Office and must also complete the College’s schedule change form. Proof of the call to active duty will be determined legitimate by the Registrar.
To request option two, the student must present proof of the call to active duty status to the instructor(s) of the class(es) and must also discuss the remaining course requirements with the instructor(s). It is the instructors’ prerogative to either approve the request or to refer the student to option one.
Members of the Ohio National Guard are eligible to receive a 100% tuition and general fee scholarship from the Ohio National Guard. If an Ohio National Guard member is called to active duty and the scholarship program has paid the tuition and fees, then the refund will be issued to the scholarship program.
If the service member was receiving federal or state financial assistance, the appropriate return of financial aid will be calculated.
Delinquent Accounts
Failure to pay fees in full will result in the inability to receive transcripts, grades or register for future terms until the balance due is paid in full.
Appeals for Review of Medical/Compassionate and/or Billing Charges
A student has the opportunity to appeal for a review of withdrawal and/or billing charges if he/she experienced an unusual circumstance that impacted his/her college attendance. The appeal must be in writing and include verification of the unusual circumstance that impacted college attendance. Appeal forms are available at the Admissions Office.
Return the completed Student Appeal Form and supporting documentation to the Associate Dean of Students.
