See OHIO Up Close!
New date added! Monday, April 21
Are you admitted as a first year student for Fall 2008? Are you still deciding where you want to go to college? Do you want to get a closer look at Ohio University? Come see OHIO Up Close!
OHIO Up Close is designed exclusively for high school seniors who have already been admitted to Ohio University for the 2008-2009 academic year. This one-day event is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to get the essentials about student life on the Athens campus, including academics, residence life, campus organizations and more. It's everything you need to know before making your final college decision!
We hope you and your family will join us for one of our OHIO Up Close days. Limited space is available and reservations are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Note: If anyone in your party needs disability accommodations during your visit, please contact Undergraduate Admissions at 740-593-4100.

What's Next?
Attendance at OHIO Up Close is not required and does not replace the Precollege orientation program that will occur this summer. You should receive Connect OHIO, a book that includes detailed information about the housing contract process and other admitted-student essentials via the postal mail. After the Housing office receives your housing contract and deposit, you will receive your invitation to Precollege orientation in mid-May.
