Register for Orientation
Bobcat Student Orientation (BSO), required for all new Ohio University transfer students, enables you and your parents to meet with faculty, staff, and orientation leaders to prepare for your intended entry term. You will learn about the curriculum and your major requirements, register for classes, obtain your student ID card, and tour the campus with a student orientation leader.
Entry Term: Summer Semester 2013
Orientation Date: Friday, May 10, 2013
Already oriented at a previous institution? Although you may have attended an orientation at another college or university, you will find that BSO will help you learn how to take advantage of the resources and opportunities available to you at OHIO as you transition into this community. Placement tests are also offered for students who may need to take chemistry or a modern language.
BSO is for students and parents. Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to attend. With separate tracks for students and parents, the entire family can become informed about university academic programs, policies, facilities, and services.
Registering for BSO. Freshmen who have confirmed their intent to enroll and admitted transfer students will receive an invitation to register online for a BSO session.
