Register Online Now - Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to register?

Follow these steps:

1. Visit our online Schedule of Classes and select your courses. Print each page, or write down the course title/number and Course Registration Number (CRN) of each of your desired courses so you will be ready to enter them once you are logged into Student Online Services.

Degree-seeking students should make sure they have discussed class choices with their major advisor to stay on track to graduation. To get connected with your major advisor, call Ecampus Student Services Center at 800-667-1465.

2. To register, you'll need to have these essential numbers ready:

• Your OSU ID - A nine digit system-generated number that you receive with your admissions letter.
• Your GAP - General Access PIN personal identification number, originally assigned as your 6-digit birth date. When you first login to Student Online Services, it will prompt you to change your GAP to a more secure number. Write this number down, as it will be your password each time you login to Student Online Services.
• Your Registration PIN number - This is mandatory for degree-seeking students, and must be assigned by your major advisor. Most registration pins change prior to every fall term, however, some Colleges assign a new PIN number each term. If you are not seeking an OSU degree at this time, you are not required to provide this PIN number and may proceed to registration.
• Also, you will need your OSU ID and GAP when you check your grades online at the end of the term.

3. Once you have recorded your CRN's for your selected courses, go to the Student Online Services page, login and click "Registration." You can also access OSU Student Online Services from the Quick Links on the Ecampus Online Degrees and Programs page. Degree-seeking students can also find a detailed tutorial in using Student Online Services and registering online in the Online Orientation.

Please note:

• You will have access to your course in Blackboard at the beginning of the term. If you register for a course after the start of the term, please allow 24 - 48 hours for Blackboard activation.
• Students with registration holds are not permitted to register until the appropriate OSU department or office clears the hold. If you are unsure of what is causing the hold on your account, call the Student Services Center at 800-667-1465.

If you have any questions or need help getting connected with your major advisor, call the Ecampus Student Services Center at 800-667-1465. If you have any problems with your OSU ID number or GAP number, call the OSU Registrar at 541-737-4331.
