NEOUCOM is a publicly chartered and funded institution in the state of Ohio. The charter mandates giving admission preference to residents of the state of Ohio. Also, only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may be considered for admission to NEOUCOM.

Upon application to the B.S./M.D. or M.D. program, the student must have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status. The Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine is in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and will provide appropriate accommodations for qualified applicants.

New students appealing their nonresident status at the time of their admission should apply for residency through the Admissions Office. Current students wishing to apply for a change in residency status for tuition purposes must file a NEOUCOM Application for Ohio Residency, along with supporting documentation, at the Office of Student Services.  Because requests for residency must be approved prior to the first day of classes of the academic term you desire reclassification, application materials and all appropriate documentation must be submitted by the published deadlines below.

Please note that students are expected to make full payment (including nonresident fees) by their appropriate payment due date. Payment deadlines cannot be waived or extended while a student’s residency is being reviewed. Retroactive residency determinations cannot be made for tuition surcharge purposes.
