Indiana Residency for Tuition Purposes
There are two discounted tuition rates available to Indiana residents who meet the criteria: Indiana Reciprocity and Indiana Metropolitan Rate. Each rate has specific requirements based on both the residential county in Indiana and the program in which you are enrolled.
Indiana Metropolitan Rate
University of Cincinnati students currently living in all counties within Indiana (program exceptions noted below) are able to attend UC at an established metropolitan tuition rate. The Indiana Metropolitan Rate is the Ohio In-State Tuition Rate plus the surcharge.
Note: effective Fall Semester 2022
Ineligible Programs
- Graduate-level programs at the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning
- Undergraduate Industrial Design program in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning
Surcharge

| Graduate | $25 per credit hour |
| Law (JD) | $300 per semester |
| Pharmacy (PharmD) | $2,415 per semester |
| Medicine (MD) | $300 per semester |
Please note: Once approved, the Indiana Metropolitan Rate is reflected as a Non-Resident Surcharge on the student's term bill.
