INDIANA
PETITION FOR INDIANA RESIDENT RECIPROCITY FEE EXEMPTION
Purpose and Instructions
The Ohio Board of Regents, Indiana Commission for Higher Education and Owens State Community College entered into an agreement whereby
any Indiana resident may enroll at Owens Community College in the Caterpillar Dealer Service Technician, AAS, or John Deere, AAS
programs and pay the Ohio resident fees instead of the out-of-state fees. All eligible students who want to receive in-state or resident tuition
rates under this agreement must petition for such rates when they plan to enroll. Failure to petition in the manner required and by the
submission deadline for the semester being petitioned will constitute a waiver of all rights under the terms of this agreement for that semester
of enrollment and any preceding semester of enrollment. Students in any other program will automatically be denied reciprocity under this
agreement.
It will be necessary for you to complete this petition in its entirety and provide the required documentation to determine your eligibility.
Incomplete petitions will not be given consideration for residency tuition rates. Subsequent to the completion of the processing of this petition
you may be assessed the tuition surcharge, you will be refunded the surcharge upon verification of your eligibility based upon the confirmation
you have met all necessary requirements of this reciprocity agreement.
Submit the petition and supporting documentation to the Oserve Office on the Toledo or Findlay Campus, or fax to 567-661-2101.
Questions via email about reciprocity can be directed to residency@owens.edu.
Requests for reciprocity consideration for prior semesters will not be granted.
