Admitted RN to BSN Students Next Steps
Activate Your OHIO ID
To get started, it is essential that you activate your OHIO ID, which will also act as your OHIO username. You need your OHIO ID to access your OHIO email. Your birth date and your personal identification (PID) number (provided in an email that was sent shortly after you applied) are all you need to officially activate your online OHIO access.
Complete Pre-enrollment Discipline and Criminal History Review Form
This quick, simple form is required for all admitted students as part of our commitment to providing the safest possible learning environment at Ohio University. The Required Pre-enrollment Discipline and Criminal History Review form is available in your MyOHIO Student Center and should be completed immediately. Disclosing a formal disciplinary action, charge or conviction does not automatically disqualify you from enrollment, but your disclosures will be reviewed. Based on your answers, we may contact you to request further information. The form must be completed, reviewed and cleared for enrollment before you can register for classes.
