If you have transfer credits that you have not yet submitted to OSU, you need to submit official transcripts to the Admissions Office at least four weeks prior to registration opening. Transfer credits are included in your earned credit hours used in part to determine your priority registration time.

Wait Listing

In Phase 2, wait listing will be in effect – but only for certain sections selected by the departments. Look at the online Schedule of Classes. You will see that some sections have wait listing numbers listed just between the enrollment numbers and the section title.

When you try registering for a closed class, you now can add your name to an automated wait list. (Note: Not every section has wait listing.)

  1. Type the CRN into the registration worksheet and click Submit.
  2. Then, click Submit again to add yourself to the wait list.

At night, the wait list process will review course availability and will add people from the wait list to courses that have space available. The process will check for registration errors. If you have a registration error, the next person on the wait list will be registered before you. If the process adds you to a class or if you have a registration error, it will send you an e-mail at your ONID address. You will not be registered in the section if a registration error exists. 

If you no longer want the class, it is your responsibility to drop it!

Wait listing continues until midnight Sunday of the second week of the term. The wait list will then be frozen. If you are on the wait list at this time you are not registered in the course. You do not need to drop or withdraw yourself from the wait list at this time.

Second Week Add Procedure

Second week adds are now an electronic process.

  1. Go to the department offering the course you want to add.
  2. If the department grants you permission, find a computer and register for the course.
  3. You must type the CRN into the box provided beneath the courses for which you currently are registered, and hit the submit button. You should not select the course from the class search.

Automated second week adds will be available beginning midnight of Sunday of the second week of classes.

The registration system will refer you to the appropriate departments and offices to contact to remove the holds.

General Access PIN (GAP)

A GAP is a 6-digit access number initially assigned to each student by the Registrar’s Office. Your initial GAP is your birthdate (month, day, year). For example, if your birthdate is April 3, 1988, your GAP will be 040388. The GAP is your Personal Identification Number used to access student information available through BANNER and the World Wide Web. Your initial birthdate GAP will expire upon your first entry into the information systems. You must then choose a new GAP, other than your birthdate. You also have the option to enter some additional information about yourself to use as a prompt should you forget your GAP and need to obtain a new GAP. You may also contact the Registrar’s Office, 541-737-4331, 102 Kerr Administration Building, if you forget your GAP.
