Orientation at Ohio State Marion is your introduction to life as a Buckeye!
Before attending your on‑campus Orientation session, you’ll complete several required steps online. These include placement testing and other To Do List items found on your Buckeye Link page, as well as a course planning session via Zoom with an academic advisor.
Course Planning Session
Invitations to schedule your course planning session will be sent in April, with sessions beginning in May. During this Zoom meeting, you’ll learn about the course requirements for your major and discuss your goals, prior credits, and any scheduling considerations. Based on this conversation, your advisor will create a personalized course schedule, which you’ll receive at Orientation.
On‑Campus Orientation
At Orientation, you’ll meet faculty and staff, connect with fellow students, and explore the many resources and opportunities available to support your success at Ohio State Marion. Students who have completed all required To Do List items, including the Financial Responsibility Statement and placement testing, and attended a course planning session will receive their finalized class schedule.
Important Reminders
Be sure to watch your Ohio State email for Orientation communications after you’ve been admitted and paid your $100 acceptance fee. Only students who have paid the acceptance fee will receive Orientation information and gain access to the required online components.
