Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) Policy statement. The university
has
developed a system of identifying student residency for purpose of state
subsidy and tuition surcharge consistent with rules of the Ohio department of
higher education which comply with provisions of section
3333.31
of the Revised Code and rule
3333-1-10
of the Administrative Code.
(B)
Parameter. The purpose of the Ohio department of higher education rules, to
determine student residency for the purpose of state subsidy and tuition
surcharge for undergraduate and graduate
students, is to exclude those persons entering the state for the primary
purpose of receiving the benefit of a state-supported education.
(C) Procedures.
(1) Residency for the purpose of assessing
tuition and fee charges is determined at the time of admission or readmission
to the university and cannot be retroactive.
(2) Students immediately identified as Ohio
residents for tuition purposes will include: dependents of
parent(s)/guardian(s) who have resided in Ohio for at least the twelve
consecutive months preceding enrollment and have supported the student; active
duty military, guard, reserve, honorably discharged veterans, and the spouse or
dependent of a veteran, who are domiciled in Ohio as of the first day of the
semester; graduates of Ohio high schools who are domiciled in Ohio as of the
first day of the semester; and those independent applicants who have resided in
Ohio for at least the twelve consecutive months preceding enrollment and have
demonstrated that they have supported themselves during that time. With
documentation as required by the Ohio department of high education, various
other student categories may also be considered for Ohio residency
status.
(3) Students having cause
to question their residency status may present documentation supporting their
position to the residency officer in the office of undergraduate admissions.
Those students providing appropriate documentation may be determined to qualify
as Ohio residents.
(4) Students
who disagree with a residency
decision may file a residency decision appeal form and submit documentation to
the office of undergraduate admissions. This form and supporting documents will
be forwarded to the residency appeals board for review.
(5) The
residency appeals board
is the final appeal authority and its decision is final.
(6) Information regarding residency status
and the residence classification board is available in the office of
undergraduate admissions.
