You're invited to attend pre-arrival meetings regarding immunizations, holds, and coming to the US. We strive to register students during the early registration (held on-line) period, which happens in the months before the term begins. You are only eligible for early registration if you complete the previous steps. Check your email and canvas for event details.
All students are expected to attend these events the week before classes begin. There are required events with staff and advisors. There will also be fun, optional social events to help you learn about OSU and make connections with other students.
