International admission FAQs:
Registration/Orientation

 


 

Where can I register for classes?

You will register for classes after you arrive on campus, during your orientation program.

 

How may I know which classes are currently being offered at Ohio State?

Explore the University Registar's Master Schedule of Classes.

 

Is there an orientation for new international students?

Students with an F1 or J1 visa will receive information about "Get Started at OSU," a mandatory orientation program that will allow you to complete the important tasks necessary to start classes. It is very important that you attend this program so that you will be able to start classes on time. You should arrive two days before your orientation date. During your orientation, you will take an English composition placement test (if required), get your student identification card (called BuckID), and attend an academic advising session to register for classes.

The Office of International Affairs provides Check-in / Orientation information.

All other students will receive an orientation information packet after they have been admitted. Detailed information about this orientation program can be found at orientation.osu.edu.
