Q: What should I do if I have taken AP exams?
A: Have your AP scores sent directly to Ohio University. The Office of Admissions receives these scores electronically in early July and any credit you are eligible for is loaded to your university record before Orientation. If your scores are listed on your high school transcript they will be loaded to your record once that transcript has been received. We recommend that you bring a copy of your AP scores to Athens when you come for Orientation in the unlikely event the credit is not yet reflected on your record here. A copy of those scores could then be given to the Admissions Office during your visit so your record can be adjusted.
Q: What should I do if I've taken courses at another university?
A: Have an official transcript sent directly to the Office of Admissions, Chubb Hall 120, Athens, OH 45701 as soon as possible. Transcripts received after June 15 may not be fully evaluated before summer Orientation since, in many instances, course content must be reviewed by appropriate college offices before the course appears on your final Ohio University record. We would suggest that you bring an unofficial copy of your most current transcript with you to Orientation to be used as a discussion point in the event that your transcript has not yet been fully processed. If you would like to check if your transcript has been received, please call the Office of Admissions at 740.593.4100.
Q: If I have questions, whom should I call?
A: The Student Orientation office is open btween the hours of 8 a.m and 5 p.m. Please call 740.593.1951 or e-mail questions to: orientation@ohio.edu.
