Important Notes about Distance Tuition:

  • A distance program is a postsecondary educational program offered by an institution of higher education that leads to an academic or professional degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential.
  • At Ohio State, a distance program is defined as a program in which 50% or more of the courses offered in a program are distance courses. Students enrolled in Ohio State Online programs are designated by being enrolled in the ONL (Online Learning) subplan.
  • A distance education administration surcharge of $100 per student per term is charged for any student enrolled in courses tagged as distance education. The revenue generated from this fee will fund 24/7 distance education support.
  • Non-resident students enrolled in Ohio State Online programs with the ONL subplan will have the non-resident surcharge assessed at $200 per term.
  • Site-based fees (e.g., COTA Fee, Recreation Center Fee and the Ohio Union Fee) will not be assessed for students enrolled in all distance education courses.
  • Ohio State alumni qualify for an application fee waiver. Visit online.osu.edu/alumni for more information.
  • You might also reference the Total Cost Calculation Guide for help in making your own calculations based on your own degree completion plan.
  • When taking 8 or more credits per semester as a graduate student or 12 credits or more as an undergraduate student, a flat rate for tuition and some fees is applied.
