New & Visiting Students

Welcome to Summer Session

Welcome new and visiting students! Summer Session offers opportunities for people to complete OSU college credit courses with or without being fully admitted to OSU or committed to an OSU degree or diploma program.

Admissions

Students who have completed the admission process for fall term start can have their admission start date changed to Summer Term and begin classes during the summer. Contact the Admission office to change your admit date.

Whether you're a visiting student from another school, or simply a visitor taking a class or two at OSU this summer, you will need to obtain "non-degree enrollment status" before you can register for undergraduate or graduate classes. This is the admissions classification for those individuals who are not fully admitted as OSU degree-seeking student at the time they register for classes. A non-degree admission does not mean you are not seeking a degree, either at OSU or elsewhere. It merely means you are not presently attending OSU as a "fully admitted OSU degree-seeking" student.

How to Apply

Students who wish to enroll in classes but are not seeking an OSU degree should contact the admissions office in 104 Kerr Administration Building, 541-737-4411. Detailed information is available at the admissions website: Non-Degree students.
