Graduate Metropolitan Rate
University of Cincinnati graduate students living in several nearby Kentucky counties are able to attend UC at an established metropolitan tuition rate. Effective Autumn Quarter 2009, the list of eligible counties will be expanded to include additional Kentucky counties and selected counties in the State of Indiana.
This graduate metropolitan rate equals Ohio in-state tuition plus $100 per quarter for full-time graduate students (up to 18 credit hours per quarter); Ohio in-state tuition plus $1500 per quarter for Pharmacy (PharmD) students (up to 18 credit hours per quarter); Ohio in-state tuition plus $120 per semester for full-time Law (JD) students (up to 18 credit hours per quarter semester); and Ohio in-state tuition plus $120 per quarter for full-time Medicine (MD) students (up to 24 credit hours per quarter). The metropolitan rate for part-time graduate students and overload credit hours is in-state tuition plus $10 per graduate credit hour and in-state tuition plus $150 per credit hour for Pharmacy (PhrmD) students.

Additionally, College of Allied Health Sciences programs are eligible for Ohio-resident tuition rates under the “Indiana Reciprocity” agreement. If you are a resident of a reciprocity-eligible Indiana county, do not first apply for the metropolitan rate, but rather for Indiana Reciprocity. Click here for Indiana Reciprocity eligibility and application information. If you are determined to be ineligible for Indiana Reciprocity, you may still be eligible for the metropolitan rate and may then apply.
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:
