Dear Bobcat:
You are receiving this email because you are registered for Fall Semester 2023-24 classes at 91探花. Please check to review your class schedule. If you are not attending 91探花 this fall semester and are still enrolled, please contact your academic college or regional campus student services office.
NEW If you have not already confirmed where you are currently living, when you log into MyOHIO Student Center you will need to update or confirm the address where you will be living this fall semester unless you are in University Housing. In addition, you may need to confirm your emergency contact information, you may provide the University permission to text your cell phone, and regional campus students may provide a preferred service campus for in-person services.
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 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.
To find specific deadline dates, such as last day to drop or last day to withdraw, click on the calendar icon in your weekly schedule in . Please note: these dates can vary on a class-by-class basis depending on the class start date and end date. Deadlines are 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the date indicated (unless otherwise noted). However, online transactions may be processed beyond 5:00 p.m. Eastern if the system is available.
Reminder for Undergraduate students: The 鈥渟tandard鈥 course load is 15 hours. You will need to be enrolled in 15 hours per semester on average to graduate within four years for a baccalaureate degree or two years for an associate degree. Please contact your academic advisor, your college or regional campus student services office, or the Allen Student Advising Center if you need assistance with choosing additional appropriate courses.
