Dear Bobcat:
You are receiving this email because you are registered for fall semester classes 2024-25 at 91探花. Please check or to review your class schedule. If you are not attending 91探花 this fall semester and are still enrolled for classes, please contact your academic college or regional campus student services office.
NEW: When you log into MyOHIO Student Center you will be prompted to update or confirm the address where you will be living this fall semester (labeled as your 鈥渃urrent living address鈥 in the system) unless you live in university housing. In addition, you will need to confirm your emergency contact information, and you may provide the University permission to text your cell phone.
The deadline dates listed later in this message are for classes that meet the standard dates for fall semester. However, many students (especially those enrolled in OHIO Online, eCampus programs) take classes that meet during different dates from the standard fall semester dates. Therefore, it is important to check the add/drop/withdraw dates for each course you are registered to take during fall semester. These dates will vary on a class-by-class basis and may be different from those listed below.
