About tuition
Ohio resident tuition
The Ohio resident tuition is the instructional fee that is assessed to all students. It is based on:
- the number of credit hours taken (see the note about the tuition plateau below),
- status (undergraduate/graduate/MBA/professional); and
- for undergraduates, where classes are taken (Main Campus, the Medina County University Center or Wayne College).

Non-resident tuition surcharge
Students who are not Ohio residents are assessed a non-resident surcharge plus Ohio resident tuition. The total cost is based on:
- the number of credit hours taken,
- status (undergraduate/graduate/MBA/professional); and
- for undergraduates, where classes are taken (Main Campus or Wayne College).
How much is the nonresident surcharge?
Tuition plateau
Undergraduate students who take 12-18 credit hours during a semester are charged for only 12 credit hours of tuition. This common practice of charging the same amount for a range of credit hours during a semester is called a tuition plateau.
Undergraduate students who take 12-18 credit hours during a semester are charged for only 12 credit hours of tuition. This common practice of charging the same amount for a range of credit hours during a semester is called a tuition plateau.蘑菇视频's tuition plateau is 12-18 credit hours. Students who take more than 18 credit hours in a semester will be responsible for tuition for each additional credit hour beyond 18. Credit-hour-based charges for the General Fee and the Facilities Fee reach maximum levels at 12 credit hours and are not affected by the plateau change.
The calculation process affects undergraduate students who take more than 18 credit hours and those who take classes at both Wayne College or the Medina County University Center and the Main Campus in 蘑菇视频.
When you are adding credit hours to determine if the total falls within the plateau, the calculation can include only those hours that are in the same location. In other words, you cannot combine credit hours at the Wayne campus with those taken at the Main Campus because the rates are dissimilar.
EFFECTIVE FALL 2013: If a student enrolls in various locations/programs during a single term, the advantage of the plateau (flat rate for 12-18 credit hours) will be lost. Students will be charged per credit hour by location. All credit hours beyond 18 will be charged the 蘑菇视频 undergraduate rate.
