You can get a head start on preparing for your arrival by completing the tasks below:
Activate your Ohio State email
It is very important that you activate your Ohio State email as soon as possible and prior to your arrival.
If you know your Ohio State ID number and password, you can activate your Ohio State account and Ohio State email address at my.osu.edu. The password should have already been emailed to you by the admissions office. Each student is assigned a lastname.# (frequently called a “dot number”). Your lastname.# will be your username for your Ohio State accounts, and your lastname.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu will be your email address.
Your Ohio State ID Number can be found in the top portion of your official acceptance letter. Please read the Policy on Responsible Use of University Computing Resources then click on "Activate Now."
If you have trouble activating your account, please contact the Office of the Chief Information Officer by emailing 8help@osu.edu or by phone at 614-688-4357.
Set up BuckeyePass
BuckeyePass is a multifactor authentication service provided by Ohio State, which is required when accessing your different Ohio State accounts. It helps protect your account even if your password is stolen. You must have BuckeyePass set up on a device that you will have with you during immigration check-in. You won't be able to complete the process without BuckeyePass. The easiest way to set up BuckeyePass is to download the Duo Mobile app on your mobile device. View instructions on how to set up BuckeyePass and download Duo Mobile.

Log into your Applicant Center to:
- Accept your offer of admission by clicking the Accept/Decline link on the main page, even if you already accepted the offer to the prior term
- Pay the tuition deposit and/or acceptance fee when accepting your admission using Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express (if required by the program and not already paid)
