Fees Explanation

Instructional Fee: The Instructional Fee is used to fund instructional costs at the university. Students who are registered for classes at more than one campus of The Ohio State University during any single term will have their fees assessed based on the campus carrying the majority of their instructional credit hours. For more information, please go to the Guidelines for Multi-Campus Students page

General Fee: The General Fee is mandated by the State of Ohio for the funding of non-instructional student services. At The Ohio State University, general fees provide those student services whose primary purpose is to contribute to the students' emotional and physical well being, as well as their cultural and social development outside the context of the formal instructional program. Included in this category are: Counseling and Consultation Services, Student Health Services, Recreational and Intramural Sports, the Student Unions, Disability Services and the Multicultural Center.

Surcharge Fee on Overload Enrollments: Starting autumn semester 2012, students enrolled in more than 18 credit hours will be billed for credits beyond 18, in addition to billing for full-time enrollment (12-18 credits, for undergraduate students). The "Over 18 Hours" rate is the same as the per credit hour rate up to 12 hours, and applies only to instructional, general and non-resident fees.
