Register for Classes
The OHIO Online academic advisors created videos to explain how to find your courses using the University鈥檚 Course Offerings page and how to register for classes in your MyOHIO Student Center. If you have any questions after viewing this information, please contact your academic advisor.
Please note: You may enroll in any OHIO course for which you meet the requisites, including those available to students at the Athens and regional campuses. However, you will pay the Athens campus or regional campus tuition for these courses, not the eCampus tuition rate.
