Email Accounts

All actively admitted OSU students are eligible for a universal (secure) access account, or ONID - OSU Network ID.

Having an ONID provides access to your OSU student (ONID) e-mail account and other technology/computer resources, including:

• Wireless network 
• Blackboard
• ResNet
• Computer labs
• Interlibrary Loan
• Eligible for VPN (off-campus access)
• Symantec Endpoint Protection
• OSUWare

So why get an ONID account?

• Many professors use class email lists to contact students. Without an ONID email account, you may be missing important information about your course(s).
• Many professors use Blackboard. In order to access Blackboard, users (students/professors) must have a valid ONID account.
• Use of on-campus computers in the libraries and computer labs requires a valid ONID account
