While all acceptable transfer credits will be transcripted at OSU, no more than 135 quarter credits of non-OSU course work can be applied to an OSU baccalaureate degree. Therefore, students who transfer the full 135 credits from other institutions may ultimately graduate with more than the minimum credits for the baccalaureate degree.
You can add a course online before the first Friday of the semester. You can add a course, with instructor permission, after the first Friday and before 5:00 p.m. on the second Friday of the semester.

The length of this period will depend on the policies of the institution, but generally may be anywhere from one to three weeks. Sometimes students may have a slightly longer period to drop courses than to add courses.
Breaking it down further, most college courses at schools with semesters are worth three credit hours. So on average, you would expect to take five classes a semester. That's above the usual minimum, which is 12 hours, and below the maximum, which is normally 18.
1. Introduction. The term 'withdrawal' is a broad term which indicates the process by which a student may leave the University other than through the successful completion of their programme of study.
12 creditsCredit Limit For summer session, the limits are 12 credits for undergraduates and 10 credits for graduate students. A student may be required to drop credits before adding another course.
Drop Limit Undergraduate students are limited in the number of courses they may drop during their academic career. (This refers to drops processed after the fifth day of classes of each semester.) All students are allowed to drop a maximum of five courses during their undergraduate career.
Students on a class waitlist are slotted in "first-on, first-off" order and are not guaranteed a seat in the class. Tuition and fees associated with a waitlisted class are not assessed unless a student moves off of the waitlist and is officially enrolled in the class.
A waitlist is a list that students can join and wait for open seats in a class. If a student in the class drops, a seat opens up and is filled by a student on the waitlist. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee you a seat in the class.

If a student repeats an Oregon State University course, the grade from each attempt 1 will appear on the student’s academic record but only the second attempt will count toward the student’s institutional credits, requirements, and grade-point average 2. An academic unit 3 may, however, include subsequent attempts after the second attempt to meet individual course degree requirements associated with the baccalaureate core/majors/options/minors/certificates/endorsements. A course may not be repeated on an S/U basis if it was taken previously on a normal grade basis 4.
Any student may withdraw from a maximum of 18 individual OSU credit- bearing classes throughout their career at OSU 1. This maximum includes any classes withdrawn from when a student withdraws from the term. Any student may petition for an exception from this limitation if the justification for withdrawal is clearly associated with circumstances beyond the student’s control or the student has prior degrees from OSU. Withdrawal from an individual class with a W grade begins after the drop deadline, which is the first full week of classes, and continues through the end of the seventh full week of classes. After the seventh full week of classes, students are expected to complete the classes attempted and will receive letter grades (A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+, D, D–, F, S, U, P, or N) for all classes in which enrolled unless they officially withdraw from the term. Procedures for withdrawal from individual classes can be found on the Office of the Registrar website.
Nondegree Ecampus, International Exchange, credential and certificate students are not limited to 8 credits per term. A maximum of 36 credits attempted as a nondegree undergraduate student may be used to satisfy Baccalaureate degree requirements upon admission as a degree-seeking student.
Standalone Certificates: A student who has not received a baccalaureate degree from either OSU or another regionally accredited university or college may be granted a standalone certificate. The student must:
The minimum number of credits for which a full-time undergraduate student may register is 12, and the maximum is 19, regardless of the method of grading used for the classes selected. (In determining the load for students not normally held responsible for physical education, the credits in activity courses in physical education will be disregarded.) The maximum may be extended:#N#Up to and including 24 credits when a student has completed at least 12 credits in courses other than those graded P/N and S/U wi th a grade-point average of 3.00 or better in their most recent term or when a student has filed with the Registrar a petition approved by their advisor and college dean (or head advisor).#N#Over 24 credits by petition approved by a student’s advisor and college dean (or head advisor) and the Academic Requirements Committee and filed with the registrar.
Audit registration permits a student to enroll in a course for no credit and no grade. Course requirements for an audited course will be determined by the course instructor. Audit registration is available to degree and non-degree students. Audit registration is only allowable during the second full week of the term. Those who wish to audit should contact the Office of the Registrar for registration procedures, which will require approval of the course instructor. Audit courses are assessed instructional fees at the same rate as for credit courses. Any changes to an audit registration are subject to the same procedures, deadlines, and special fees as for registration changes to regular courses. Upon completion of an audited course, the designation of AUD will be recorded on the transcript. The designation of WAU will be recorded on the transcript for students who withdraw from an audit course.
Therefore, students who transfer the full 135 credits from other institutions may ultimately graduate with more than the minimum credits for the baccalaureate degree. Students are encouraged to work with their academic unit to determine whether transfer credits meet department and college requirements for the degree.
Students from different majors participate in orientation programs at different times. Before you register, check the available orientation dates for your program of study. If none of the listed dates for your program fit your schedule, let us know as soon as possible.
If you haven't already, activate your Ohio State username at my.osu.edu. Just click "Activate Now" and follow the instructions.
You might need to take a placement test or have some transfer credit evaluated before your orientation program. Take a look at the orientation prep checklist before you register and plan accordingly.
Reserve the earliest available date that fits your schedule. You'll schedule for classes at orientation — the earlier you're able to participate, the more flexibility you'll have!
For example, seniors (students who have completed more than 134 credits) register before sophomores (students who have completed 45-89 credits). Your registration time will also vary each term according to the last three digits of your student ID number.
All undergraduate students need at least a total of 180 credits to graduate. (Some professional degrees in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts require more than 180 credits.) A minimum of 62 of the total 180 credits must be upper-division credits (300 level and above).

What GPA is necessary to make the Dean's List? Dean’s List designations are given to admitted undergraduates with a term GPA of at least 3.75 who have completed 15 total credits, with at least 12 credits graded. These designations are given fall, winter, and spring terms.
Students are eligible to change their major at any time , however, it is imperative to speak with an advisor first before changing a major.
Yes, it is, for some courses. Students who are admitted to and enrolled at the UO can challenge undergraduate courses—with the approval of the department—to earn credit by examination. While you can sometimes receive a grade for a credit by examination exam, it will not count toward your GPA.
Military Credit: As recommended by the American Council on Education’s Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, and in accordance with university and state policies regarding transfer credit, the UO generally grants credit for military educational experience.
