Scheduling

How can I find out when I schedule for classes? 

Around the middle of the academic term, you should receive an email from the Registrar’s Office notifying you that the dates for your enrollment appointment have been posted on your Student Center.

How many credit hours are required for full-time status? 

A student must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours per term in order to be considered a full-time student. If you are considering dropping below 12 credit hours, make sure you are still meeting the requirements of any financial aid you are receiving and check any other policies you may be restricted to such as international visas and health insurance. You may also want to check fees and refund schedules on the Registrar’s website.  

Are there a maximum number of credit hours that can be taken per semester? 

At this time, students in the College of Engineering are permitted to enroll in up to 18 credit hours per term. Upperclass students may petition the Department to enroll in more than 18 credit hours in one academic term. To enroll in more than 18 credit hours, students must petition and pay additional fees.

When is the deadline for adding a class?

  • The 1st Friday of the term is the last day of a term in which students may self-add a course via Buckeye Link.
  • During the 2nd week of classes, students will need to obtain permission from the instructor of the course to enroll and then return a signed Course Enrollment Permission form to an advisor. Download the Course Enrollment Permission form HERE.
  • After the 2nd Friday students will need to petition to add a course.

When would I need to use a Course Enrollment Permission form?

A Course Enrollment Permission form may be required for several reasons including the following:

  • Getting into a waitlisted class
  • Adding a class after the 1st Friday of the term
  • You do not have the required prerequisite for enrollment in the class
  • There is a time conflict with another class
  • The class requires Instructor or Department Permission for enrollment

The form must be filled out completely or it will not be processed. The form can be found under Curriculum & Forms section of the CEG website. With the exception of the Math Department and Chemistry Department, most completed forms may be submitted to the Undergraduate Academic Advisor and the class will be added. To add a math or chemistry class, please contact the Department of Mathematics Advising Office or the Department of Chemistry and Biochecmistry for details.

How can I drop a class?

  • Before the 4th Friday of the term, students may withdraw from a course on-line using Buckeye Link.
  • After the 4th Friday through 5pm on the 10th Friday, students must submit all drop requests in writing to the Academic Advisor. All requests must be submitted from your OSU email or in person. Please note that students who drop a course after the 4th Friday will receive a ‘W’ for the course on their transcript to show that the student attempted and withdrew from the course. A 'W' is not calculated with your GPA.
  • Any student requesting to drop a course after the 10th Friday must petition the College of Engineering. Only students with documented extenuating circumstances will have their petitions considered by the COE Committee.  Please contact the Advising Office for the petition forms.
