For Autumn Quarter 2009 only, graduate students living in several nearby counties in Indiana may be able to attend University of Cincinnati at the metropolitan tuition rate. The metropolitan rate is made available during Autumn Quarter 2009 for those students who do not immediately qualify for the Ohio in-state tuition rate established by the new Indiana Reciprocity Agreement. Effective with requests for Winter Quarter 2010, the metropolitan rate for Indiana will be discontinued and all students may then only apply for Indiana Reciprocity.
You are strongly encouraged to review the eligibility requirements for Indiana Reciprocity prior to applying for the metropolitan rate. If you believe that you are eligibile for Indiana Reciprocity, apply for Indiana Reciprocity rather than for the metropolitan rate. If you are determined to be ineligible for Indiana Reciprocity for Autumn Quarter 2009, you should then apply for the metropolitan rate.
Indiana counties whose residents are eligible for the metropolitan tuition rate for Autumn Quarter 2009 only are:
| Clark |
Fayette |
Jennings |
Rush |
Union |
| Dearborn |
Franklin |
Ohio |
Scott |
Wayne |
| Decatur |
Jefferson |
Ripley |
Switzerland |

UC graduate students residing in an eligible Kentucky or Indiana county must initiate the metro rate review process by submitting the "Graduate Metropolitan Rate Application” and a legible copy of their Kentucky or Indiana driver’s license or their Kentucky or Indiana State ID .
The application form and supporting driver's licence should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of the term for which you are enrolling but no later than the first day of classes for that term.
Documentation received after the start of the term will be processed for the following term. Faxed copies will not be accepted.
The metro rate application and supporting driver’s license may be turned in at the One Stop Student Services Center (University Pavilion, 2nd floor), or may be mailed to:
