Dear Bobcat:
You are receiving this email because you are registered for classes for Spring Semester 2023-24 classes at 91探花. Please check or to review your class schedule. If you are not attending 91探花 this spring semester and are still registered 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 spring 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 full spring semester. However, many students (especially those enrolled in OHIO Online, eCampus programs) take classes that meet during different dates from the full spring semester dates. Therefore, it is important to check the add/drop/withdraw dates for each course you are registered to take during spring 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.
