When to Register

Spring Term 2012 registration schedule

What does 'priority registration' mean anyway?

Priority registration is for degree-seeking students. To find out when you can register, log in to Student Online Services, select "Registration," then "Check Your Registration Status." Status schedules will be posted at least one week prior to the beginning of registration. Non-degree students will also need to check the schedule for registration dates and times. 

Phase I allows students to register for a max of 16 credits.  Phase II allows them to add another 3 credits.

Priority registration happens in two phases based on total credits (credits earned plus those credits currently in progress). Because priority registration is based on credits earned, it is very important that students submit official transcripts for credits earned at other institutions. The transcript must be received by the Office of Admissions no later than one month prior to the start of priority registration. Students whose credit from other institutions has already been accepted by OSU do not need to request another transcript. The second phase of registration will be open to wait listing.

Wait Listing

The wait list process checks each section for an available seat. If a seat exists the first student on the wait list will be registered in the section and will be notified via ONID e-mail that they are now registered in the course.  If a student no longer wishes to be enrolled, they must drop the course. Students are responsible for dropping courses by the appropriate deadline.

The waitlist process will continue through Sunday midnight at the beginning of the second week of classes. Students may wait list up to 3 courses.
