Please keep the following in mind:
- All exchange students are required to attend mandatory orientations at OSU, so plan to arrive at least one week before the first day of class.
- Course request forms should accurately reflect the classes needed, but course requests may need to be adjusted based upon seat availability for each course.
- We will assist students in registering for 12 credits minimum per term.
- Once the term starts, schedule changes are highly unlikely but can be requested from the COB International Coordinator & Advisor.
- Undergraduate students will be considered for registration access to classes at the 100, 200, 300 and 400 levels; access to graduate courses are not permitted.
- Graduate students may take classes at the 500 level, however, MBA classes are not available to exchange students.
- Exchange students may take classes taught by other colleges on campus, but may need to work with that department for access.
