Fall 2012 Freshman Path: Welcome

You have potential as a scholar and leader. Your admission to Ohio University is a strong indication of that potential. It also represents an important invitation for you to join a tradition more than 200 years strong—a tradition that is defined by excellence and opportunity.

Follow these steps to accept our invitation to discover your promise at Ohio University. The steps on the left are presented in the order we think will be most helpful to you, but in some cases you can create your own path.

The Path to Promise calendar on the right side of each page can keep you on track. It is important that you pay close attention to the calendar, milestone dates, and deadlines for each section as you make your college decision and navigate the process of making Ohio University your college home.

We hope that you will choose Ohio University, and we look forward to seeing how you will make a difference in the OHIO tradition.
