New Students
Welcome to the School of Educational Policy and Leadership! We are pleased that you will be joining us for your graduate studies.
Many of our newly admitted students have a lot of questions - especially, "What do I do now?" This Web site is designed to help you negotiate those days, weeks and sometimes months before classes begin. Often, we will refer you to those offices at Ohio State that are best suited to help with you specific questions. Please look to those Web sites for important information.
International students have special needs and requirements in addition to the ones addressed here. You should link to the Web pages for the Office of International Education (OIE) at http://www.oie.ohio-state.edu. OIE can help you with specific information about obtaining a US visa, arriving in Columbus, new student orientation for international students, placement tests, registration, health screening, health insurance, on and off campus housing, immigration, nationality clubs, academic resources, banking information and more.
I hope you will find the information on these Web pages useful. If at anytime you cannot find the answers you need, please contact the Office of Student Services and Graduate Studies at (614) 688-4007 or e-mail me at zabloudil.1@osu.edu.
