Miami Regional Campuses Offering In-State Tuition To Indiana Neighbors

July 22, 2004

Miami University's Hamilton and Middletown regional campuses have joined with other Ohio institutions in offering in-state tuition rates to Indiana residents who live along the Indiana-Ohio border.

The tuition reciprocity arrangement was coordinated between the Ohio Board of Regents and the Indiana Commission on Higher Education. Other area institutions joining with Miami Hamilton and Miami Middletown in this program include Clark State Community College, Sinclair Community College and Wright State University at both its Dayton and Lake Campuses.

In-state tuition is being made available to Indiana residents who live in Adams, Blackford, Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Henry, Jay, Randolph, Rush, Union, Wayne and Wells counties.
The goal of the tuition reciprocity agreement, according to the Ohio Board of Regents, is "to increase availability of programs to residents of Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana without needless duplication of educational effort and to promote efficient use of existing educational facilities and resources."

Miami's regional campuses, eligible Indiana students must register as regional campus students, and be taking courses offered at or through the regional campuses. The tuition reciprocity agreement does not include Oxford campus students or Oxford courses.

Some Indiana students now take classes on both regional campuses, while others enroll for courses offered by Miami's regional campuses in Eaton.

This fall Miami's regional campuses will begin their tenth year of offering courses in Eaton.
