Calendar Dates for Full-Time English-Only Program with OPIE.
If you are taking OPIE English courses, OPIE will register you at the beginning of the semester. If you are taking academic courses at ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ (undergraduate and graduate), you are responsible for registering online.
Course Registration Information
If you decide to withdraw or leave OPIE and/or the University before your classes end, your money may not be refunded. It is important that you understand the University’s policy and consult the official calendar of deadlines. To begin the withdrawal process, visit your OPIE adviser and/or with your college office (University College, Chubb Hall for OPIE-only students). Also make sure to discuss your withdrawal with the Office of International Student and Scholar Services.
ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ requires that some students live on campus. All ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ enrolled students under the age of 23 with fewer than four academic year semesters (fall/spring semesters only) in the residence halls prior to the start of the semester in which they enroll must reside in university-owned housing and participate in the associated mandatory meal plan. See the Housing Application.
If you are not required to live on-campus, you may live off-campus. The Community Engagement Programs Staff within Off-Campus Living can help you find off-campus living.
All enrolled ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ and OPIE students are required to have health insurance.
All ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ students are automatically charged for two optional fees: the Wellbeing Fee (enhances student health care) and the Student Legal Service Fee (provides legal services). To waive or pass on these fees, you must opt out on your MyOHIO Student Center, usually by the end of the third week of the semester.
: Here you can connect to many OPIE Moodles, course management systems that OPIE instructors use to give assignments, collect assignments, share content and resources, and even administer quizzes.
This is a collection of interesting and fun books designed for learners of English. It is located on the first floor of Alden Library.
ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ provides on-campus housing. They require that some students live on campus. All ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ enrolled students unmarried and under the age of 23 with fewer than four academic year semesters (fall/spring semesters only) in the residence halls prior to the start of the semester in which they enroll must reside in university-owned housing and participate in the associated mandatory meal plan. Please read more about the Housing Requirement. Students who are not required to live on campus may be able to do so based on availability.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ to find enough staff for all of the dormitories during the breaks (i.e., winter break), so if you stay on campus during a break, you may need to move to temporary housing. Ask your RA or the Office of Residential Housing (contact Alvena Collins: collina3@ohio.edu) about an extended housing contract (with lower rates) for international students.
If you are not required to live on-campus, you may live off-campus. The OHIO Housing and Residence Life Office provides resources for Off Campus Living. International Student and Scholar Services also provides off-campus housing resources.
If you leave something in your classroom, it might be taken to Gordy 155.
