OPIE English Course Registration
After you begin attending courses and before the end of the second week of the semester, OPIE will register you for your OPIE courses.
Sometimes a hold will be placed on your account by another campus office. A hold prevents course registration. Holds are placed for a variety of reasons (e.g., a balance at the Bursar’s Office, an incomplete housing contract, an unreturned library book, failure to meet with your academic advisor, failure to take the TB test at Campus Care, etc.). You cannot be registered until your holds are removed. Your CORE teacher will give you purple and red slips notifying you to take care of holds. You can also see holds on your MyOHIO Student Center .
Once you are registered, you will be charged for a full-semester’s tuition. If you would like to withdraw and receive some money back, you must officially withdraw before the end of the second week of the semester.
Check the Ohio University Academic Calendar to see more information about registration deadlines, tuition refunds, and housing/dining refunds.
Academic Course Registration
Once students enter the Pathway Program, OPIE will register them for the OPIE and academic classes that are included in Pathway (see Pathway Program ). Pathway students also may take additional academic classes depending on their level. Pathway students register themselves for these classes. Please see your OPIE Advisor about this.
All students will fill out a priority registration form during each or semester in order to register for academic classes for the subsequent semester.
If students are placed into OPIE for further English language study for the following semester, they may need to change their registration online so that they will not be registered for too many hours. This change must be made by Friday, 5 p.m., of the first week of classes. If a student does not adjust his/her registration appropriately by this deadline, OPIE will adjust the schedule as necessary.
IMPORTANT: Students taking 8 hours of English language study at the Pathway 2 Level may take 9-12 credit hours of academic classes. Please note that all students in this category will be charged full-time Ohio University tuition because they are now taking academic classes in addition to OPIE classes.
IMPORTANT: Students taking 12 hours of English language study at the Pathway 1 Level may take 6-8 credit hours of academic classes.Please note that all students in this category will be charged full-time Ohio University tuition because they are now taking academic classes in addition to OPIE classes.
IMPORTANT: If your placement is at the Pathway Levels AND you are a sponsored undergraduate with permission from your sponsor, you are expected to take both OPIE and academic classes. Please note that you will not receive the reduced OPIE program tuition fee since you have successfully completed full-time OPIE courses and are now eligible to take academic classes. Even if you drop your academic classes, your tuition will not change.
Full-time students(taking 20 hours of English language study) may nottake any academic classes without special permission.
