Welcome new international students!
Whether you're a new freshman or transfer student, we want to help make your transition to OSU a success. All incoming international students are required to attend an orientation and enrollment program before you start classes.

Admitted International Students Next Steps
Programming
Upon arrival on campus, you will complete health screenings with University Health Services and complete immigration registration with the Office of International Student and Scholars (ISS). Once this is completed, you will attend a required in-person orientation and enrollment program, where you will be able to connect with other Global Cowboys, familiarize yourself with the OSU campus and learn more about the resources available to you.
For freshmen, $300 enrollment deposit must be submitted before you can register for an orientation and enrollment program. The enrollment deposit can be refunded in part ($250) for those who cancel admission by May 1.
For transfers, $100 student fee is required for orientation and enrollment programs, which can be paid upon program registration or via one of your first fall semester Bursar bills.
