I checked Blackboard and it says I’m not registered (for one or more classes).

I moved from Kentucky or Indiana to Ohio. Why am I being charged out-of-state charges?

As a resident of Kentucky or Indiana, your tuition bill will state “Out-of-State Tuition.” However, based on tuition reciprocity agreements, you will pay the in-state tuition rate if you live in one of the ap p licable counties in Kentucky or I n diana

I am a veteran and I am being charged out-of-state fees– why?

It may be that at the time you applied, you indicated on your application that you had not lived in Ohio for one year or more. As a veteran, you are entitled to in-state tuition as long as you meet requirements for the O h io GI Promise . Please complete and submit to the Registrar’s Office an Ohio GI Promise Residency form, a DD214 form, and either a copy of your lease or deed, or a copy of your Ohio Driver’s License.

Why am I being charged a supplemental fee for a class I dropped on the first day of the semester?

A supplemental fee is charged for some courses because of special materials and/or equipment a student may use in that course or in a set of related courses. If you did not receive the materials/equipment, go to the Associate Dean for the academic division that offers the course, and request a credit to your student account equivalent to the supplemental fee.

If I drop a class or withdraw from all classes, will it affect my financial aid?

Please contact the Office of Financial Aid before you make adjustments to your schedule to find out how these schedule changes could affect your financial aid.

How do I know what classes I need to take?

Contact your academi c advisor to discuss the classes you should take for your degree or certificate program.

When will my diploma be mailed?

Diplomas are usually mailed six weeks after the end of the semester, after grade changes and other updates to records are completed. Your graduation date will be posted on your official transcript after it has been determined that you have met all requirements for the degree or certificate you are completing.

What do I need to do in order to graduate?

Students who complete all requirements for a program are automatically graduated by the Office of the Registrar, if your Academic Evaluation (Degree Audit) is in a complete or pending complete status. Please contact your academic advisor with any questions about your degree requirements. To participate in the Commencement ceremony, you must submit an Intent to Participate form, under Forms on this site.
