The Ohio State University wants to encourage students into taking online-only courses.  The Columbus Dispatch reports that the University recently approved a new fee structure that would allow students to save money on the services they will not use.

In-state students who register for these exclusive online classes would be charged $100 a semester, while out of state students will only pay $5 more.

Online students will save money with this new fee, that does not include charges for on-campus amenities such as COTA bus passes and recreation centers.  The new fee will take effect in the summer semester.
