Kentucky Metropolitan Rate

University of Cincinnati students living in Kentucky are eligible to attend UC at an established metropolitan tuition rate. This rate is applicable to all programs, with the exception of the undergraduate Industrial Design program in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (effective Fall 2017).

(Graduate students at the College of Design, Architecture, Arts and Planning, please see Kentucky County Metro Rate below)

For undergraduate programs, the metropolitan rate is the Ohio in-state tuition rate plus $25.00 per credit hour each semester up to a maximum of a $300 surcharge (12 to 18 hours per semester);
For graduate programs, the metropolitan rate is the Ohio in-state tuition rate plus $25.00 per credit hour each semester up to a maximum of a $250 surcharge (10 to 18 hours per semester);
Ohio in-state tuition plus $300 per semester for full-time Law (JD) students (up to 18 credit hours per semester);

and Ohio in-state tuition plus $300 per semester for full-time Medicine (MD) students (up to 24 credit hours per semester).

Important Note: because students present in the United States on temporary status (including F-1 and J-1 visa holders) are prevented, by their temporary status, from meeting the legal requirement to establish Kentucky residency, these students are not eligible for the Kentucky metro rate.
