Once we receive your application
- Within two weeks, you will receive acknowledgment that your application form was received. You will be given an OSU ID and instructions for monitoring the status of your application.
- Within approximately 10 to 12 weeks (and not before December for those applying to begin in summer or fall quarters), your online application status will reflect one of the following admissions decisions:
- Admit — Congratulations! You have been admitted to Ohio State. A notice about enrollment requirements and information about specific college enrollment are on the way.
- Defer — After an initial review of your application, we have not yet made a final admissions decision. Following the application deadline, deferred applications will be reviewed a second time, giving particular consideration to academic performance, the competitiveness of the applicant pool, and the number of spaces available.
- Options for Ohio Residents — At this time, you do not meet admission requirements for the Columbus campus. As an Ohio resident, your options are to enroll at one of Ohio State’s regional campuses or to apply again later as a transfer student from another college or university.
- Denial for Nonresidents — At this time, you do not meet our admission requirements. You may wish to improve your academic profile at another college or university, then apply again as a transfer student.

After you have been admitted to Ohio State:
- If you apply for financial aid by the priority deadline, you will be notified of aid eligibility by early April.
- You will be mailed an Acceptance Fee Statement and will be required to pay a $100 nonrefundable fee to confirm your enrollment. After you pay this fee, you will receive information about campus housing, meal plans, orientation, and class scheduling. Students admitted for summer or autumn quarters will receive this information in the early spring.
- Upon admission, eligible students will be offered a place in the University Honors Program and asked to accept Honors affiliation. Strong students who are ineligible for the Honors Program may complete the Scholars
Program application (due February 1, 2010) available at honors-scholars.osu.edu. Contact the University Honors & Scholars Center with questions (see contact information on page 12) or visit honors-scholars.osu.edu for more information.
- If you choose not to attend Ohio State during the quarter for which
you have applied, you must notify Undergraduate Admissions.
What about living on campus?
- Columbus campus freshmen who are single, full-time students and have
not had at least a one-year educational break since high school are required to live on campus, unless they plan to live with parents or guardians or
are otherwise exempted. To find out more, call University Housing at
(614) 292-8266.
- University housing is available at some Ohio State regional campuses and ATI on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact those campuses and ATI directly for more information.
