Failure to follow these steps or to complete them in the proper order will cause delays in your enrollment. Enrollment for business distance learning courses must be done through the business distance learning office. Students who enroll through SIS will be enrolled in the wrong section.
Note that you have to be admitted to Oklahoma State University to enroll. In order to enroll, you must have an O-Key account set up.
New Students - Setup your O-Key account
Because many courses are popular and may fill up quickly, the business distance learning office encourages students to begin the enrollment process as soon as they know they need or want to take an available course.
Per OSU policy, students who are not enrolled in at least one course before the first day of classes for a given semester but who later enroll for that semester will be charged a $50 late fee by OSU. On-campus students seeking full-time student status should note that distance learning courses may affect your campus fee waivers.
Step 2: Enrollment Holds
Make sure you have no holds on your account. Any holds, such as Bursar Office or Academic Advising holds, will prevent you from enrolling. Clear all holds before sending enrollment forms to the distance learning office. To check if you have holds in the system:
- Log in to SIS.
- Select “Holds” from the Student Records drop-down menu.
Step 3: Registration Form
Complete the Enrollment Form. You may take it to 215 Business Building on the OSU-Stillwater campus or fax it to (405) 744-1891. This form includes your requests for course enrollment for a given semester.
In completing the form, note the following.
- Use your OSU Campus-Wide ID, or CWID, instead of your Social Security Number. For more information on CWID numbers, log in to SIS.
- The form is two-pages. Complete both pages.
- Write legibly.
- Use black ink.
- Complete all blanks
- Sign the form.
- When completing the course information section, include the course prefix, number and title, along with the course dates (if available) and lecture delivery method (e.g., CD, Internet/Zip). A completed course information example is below.
Step 5: Proctor Agreement Form
Determine the format of exams in each of your courses. To do this, find the syllabus for each of your upcoming courses at Course Syllabi/Content. If any of your courses require you to take a hard-copy exam, you will need to pick from one of the processes below.
If your classes have all take-home or online exams, you do not need to submit a proctor agreement form.
Off-Campus Exams
SPECIAL NOTE: As of the Fall 2008 semester, the distance learning office will no longer accept individuals as proctors for exams. Only Testing Centers will be allowed so please plan accordingly. There should be a testing center in your area.
Students taking exams off campus must find someone to proctor their exams and fill out the Testing Center Proctor Agreement Form or the Individual Proctor Agreement Form (must be pre approved by Distance Learning Office). Have your proctor complete the agreement form and fax it to (405) 744-1891. Ensure you and your proctor have read the Proctor Policies. You must submit this form every semester. However, if your proctor changes, you will need to notify our office and submit an updated Proctor Agreement Form immediately. You will not be enrolled in any courses until we receive this form.
On-Campus Exams
If you are taking your exams on campus, you do not need to complete a Proctor Agreement Form. However, you must complete the student information form if you choose this option. Whether you choose the off-campus or on-campus option, be sure to read the Exam Procedures page for details about scheduling, receiving, taking, and submitting exams.
Step 6: Student Information Form
Fill out and submit the online Student Information Form.
This form contains information such as your desired course delivery method, mailing address for course materials, contact information for communicating on announcements and course issues, and how you plan to take your exams.
It is very important that the student use their OSU email address to receive these communications. If the student chooses to use another email address, then they will need to make sure to check both.
Students must submit this form at the beginning of every semester. If your information changes during the semester, notify the distance learning office via e-mail.
Final Enrollment Step
Your registration form will be sent to the Registrar’s Office for official enrollment. It could take up to one week before SIS is updated. Your SIS course schedule confirms your enrollment in courses.
Course Procedures and Materials
Once you have enrolled, your course materials and lectures will be located on an online classroom called Desire2Learn starting one week prior to the start of class. 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 such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ecampus, iChapters, etc.
Adding and Dropping Courses
Add and drop actions for distance learning course sections must be processed through our office. These actions cannot be done through SIS. To use an Add/Drop Form for a given semester, you must have already filed a Registration Form for the same semester with our office. Fax the completed Add/Drop Form to (405) 744-1891 or take it to 215 Business Building.
