Buckeye Link assists students with various matters related to navigating college life, including paying tuition and fees.

When you log into your account, you will find a to-do list that includes several requirements for you to complete before arrival. Be sure to complete all items by their deadline.

Before registering for classes each term, all students must complete the Financial Responsibility Statement, which acknowledges their financial responsibility to pay all tuition and fees. A registration hold is placed on your account until you complete the statement, preventing you from registering for courses. To complete your statement and to release the registration hold, log into My Buckeye Link and review the Holds or To Do List sections for the Financial Responsibility Statement.

Once you register for classes, your Statement of Account is created, which shows the tuition and fees you are responsible for paying and your payment due date. To see your Statement of Account, log in to your My Buckeye Link and refer to the Statement of Account section.

To make paying for tuition and fees more efficient, we suggest you set up a local bank account shortly after you arrive (if you do not already have one). You can wire money from a different bank account to put into this new account. The preferred method for paying tuition and fees, including the Tuition Option Payment Plan (TOPP), is online from a checking or savings account.

You may want to open a checking account when you arrive in Columbus. Huntington is the Official Consumer Bank of The Ohio State University and the most convenient bank on campus with five branches and 26 ATMs. If you choose Huntington, you can open an account with them at the end of your orientation session. Learn more about what they offer on Huntington.com.
