A distance education course is defined as those courses with no scheduled in-classroom or on-site activities. A university distance learning fee and a HW distance learning fee is charged for any student who is enrolled in only courses tagged as distance education courses. The revenue generated from this fee will fund 24/7 distance education support and development. If a distance education student is a non-resident, a $5 fee will be assessed, but the regular non-resident tuition will be waived. Site-based fees (e.g. COTA Fee, Recreation Center, Student Activities Fee and the Ohio Union Fee) will also be waived for such a student. If a student has any on-campus or “hybrid” (on-campus courses that also have a significant distance education component) courses in addition to distance education classes, all regular fees will be assessed. Please review the HW Tuition and Fees page for more information.
