Enrollment

To enroll in a course, see the appropriate page for you - undergraduate enrollment or graduate enrollment.

After you have been admitted to OSU, you will need to sign up for an O-Key username and password, which is a personal account on OSU’s computing system. If this is not your first semester at OSU, you already have an O-Key account. More about O-Key.

Course Procedures and Materials

Once you are enrolled in a course, review the course syllabus for graduate and undergraduate programs. Class materials and lectures will be located on an online classroom called Desire2Learn. Follow the instructor's directions in the syllabus and lecture videos. Textbooks may be ordered through the OSU Bookstore or purchased from an outside source.

About a week before the semester begins, you will have access to course information on Desire2Learn - log in using the O-Key username and password given to you by OSU. More about Desire2Learn.

You also might want to read the information sheet about the online classroom.
