selective service number to the Student Service Center, 1st floor Student Academic Services Building, 281 W. Lane Ave, (614) 292-0300, or non-resident fees will be assessed,

Regional Campus
versus Main Campus Fees
Effective Winter Quarter 2003, the Office of the University Registrar
began adjusting official campus of enrollment for students based upon where
the majority of the classes are taken. Students will be billed based on the
campus where the student is registered for the majority of hours. For students
who have been registered through a regional campus, they are only switched
to Columbus if they meet the selective admission criteria of 2.0 GPA with
45 cumulative hours. Students
who are taking half at a regional and half at the main campus will remain
enrolled at the original campus. For details regarding the university policy,
"click
here" to visit the web site.
Non-Resident Fees
If you have any questions regarding the non-resident fee or if you need information
regarding your eligibility to be classified as an Ohio resident for tuition
surcharge purposes, immediately contact the Student Service Center, 1st floor Student Academic Services Building, 281 W. Lane Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43210, (614) 292-0300. Please
note that students are expected to make full payment (including non-resident
