It's almost time!
Help your student prepare
We're getting close — autumn semester is just around the corner! In this edition, we're highlighting some things your student can do to get ready for life at Ohio State.
Schedule a move-in date and time
For students living in the residence halls, the campus move-in process will be spread over four days this year, from August 19 to 22. Students should keep an eye on their university email account for instructions on scheduling their move-in date and time.
We know you're curious about where your Buckeye will be living! Although you won't be able to tour your student’s room in advance, Housing and Residence Education offers details about Ohio State’s residence halls, including images and floor plans. Don’t know what’s already in the room or what your Buckeye should pack? See the link below!
Preview Day
For students who are planning to commute to campus, we hope you'll join Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement at Preview Day on August 20. Learn more and register at the link below!
Plan for Welcome Week
Welcome Week (August 21–31) is a collection of events meant to welcome returning students back to campus — and to introduce new students to life at Ohio State. Encourage your student to participate and learn more about the opportunities at Ohio State!
