Current Fact Sheet

Email or schedule an appointment with Christopher Wheeler, COB International Coordinator & Advisor, to learn more.

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.
