New Student Resources
Are you prepared to take online courses? If you need help, contact your academic advisor or OHIO Online.
Before the First Day of Class
A few important steps will help get you ready for your educational journey with OHIO Online after you are admitted as a student. Make sure you complete these steps before the first day of class:
Academic Advisors
Your advisor will send you welcome information via email, which includes instructions for how to register for courses. You also will receive a Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) report, showing your official transfer credit and course requirements, after your transfer credit has been fully evaluated and processed.
Note: Online nursing students can find their academic advisor in the Nursing Knowledge Center.
Textbooks and Materials
Most Ohio University courses require textbooks and/or other materials. Text and materials requirements for each course are listed in the course offerings. You may purchase required materials from a website or store, as long as you purchase the correct edition required for your course.
