Getting Started
Activate your OHIO ID
Your OHIO ID and password are your
keys to most online services at Ohio
University. If you are new to the university
or returning after an extended absence,
you will need to activate your OHIO ID.
You will need your PID (located on your
letter of admission) to begin this process.
Orientation
Prior to the start of the online MSEE
program, all students are required to
complete an online Orientation. This free
course provides an introduction to online
learning and the skills required to
complete courses in the Blackboard e-
learning environment.
Students who are enrolled in their first
term course(s) will be automatically
enrolled in the Orientation course once
the course opens. Students that register
for courses after the start or Orientation
will be manually enrolled by
administration within 24-48 hours of
course registration. Students will be
notified, via email, once enrolled and will
be provided with more information on
how to get started.
The expected time commitment for the
orientation course is typically between
four to six hours.
The Orientation course will be available two
weeks before the start of class, and closes on
the Friday before classes begin.
Registration
Registration will open approximately six to eight
weeks prior to the start of class.
Students will receive an email from their
program manager with important details on
how to self-register.
Our online courses have unique course
registration numbers so please be sure to
register only once you have received this
information from your program manager. This
will minimize registration errors.
If you have issues with registering for your
courses, please contact your program
manager for support.
Books & Course Materials
An email containing a list of all required texts
and materials will be sent along with
registration information prior to the start of the
semester. This information can also be found in
the course syllabus, which will be available in
the Blackboard portal.
Students can then order textbooks from the
vendor of their choice. Books and course
packs are also available through the Ohio
Bookstore. Shipping options and prices are
presented on the website.

Tackling Tuition
Bursar’s Office
The Office of the Bursar is responsible for
the billing and collecting of balances
owed to the University. Students will be
charged tuition each semester for the
courses in which they are registered.
Account balance notifications for newly
incurred charges are emailed at the
beginning of each month and are due
on the 21st of the month. Payments not
received by the due date will incur a late
fee of 1.5%.
Ohio University does not issue paper bills
or statements. Balance notifications are
sent as reminders of upcoming balances
– including payment plan installments –
that are due on the 21st of that month.
For more information, visit
https://www.ohio.edu/bursar/ or call
(740) 593-4130. Hours of operation are
Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5
pm (except University holidays).
Payment Plans
The Office of the Bursar offers a payment
plan option for students who are unable
to pay their tuition and fees by the first
due date of a semester.
Students/authorized users may enroll in
an installment payment plan each
semester, after charges for that semester
have posted. Students who wish to enroll
may do so by logging into their My OHIO
Student Center and, under the Finances
section, selecting ‘Enroll in Payment Plan’
from the dropdown menu.
For more information about the payment plan
option, please contact the . Bursar’s Office
Credit Balances & Refunds
The Office of the Bursar offers direct deposit as
a more convenient means of providing refunds
to students. Instead of mailing a check, we will
deposit the funds directly into the student's
bank account. Visit to learn more about here
enrollment in direct deposit.
Refunds by direct deposit are processed
Monday through Friday during the first three
weeks of the semester. After the third week of
the semester, refunds by direct deposit are
processed on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Refunds via check are issued on
Fridays and mailed to your mailing address.
Students will receive an e-mail from the Office
of the Bursar to their OHIO e-mail address when
refund has been processed.
Past Due Accounts
Tuition and fees are due by the due date
indicated on your My OHIO Student Center
Charges Due. If financial responsibilities have
not been met, a student will receive a financial
hold on their student account. Students with a
financial hold are not eligible for registration for
future terms and are prevented from obtaining
records such as transcripts and grades. In
addition, students whose accounts are not
paid in full at the time of graduation will not
receive a diploma or any other certification of
program completion.
Students who have unanticipated financial
problems during a term should resolve them
with the help of the Office of the Bursar and
the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Financial Assistance
All graduate students seeking
financial assistance for the summer
2017-2018 term must file the 2018-2019
Free Application for Federal Aid
(FAFSA). It is recommended that
graduate students applying for
federal financial assistance submit the
FAFSA at least one month prior to the
first day of classes. First time borrowers
will need to complete the Loan
Agreement (MPN) and Entrance
Counseling at
. https://studentloans.gov
View this to ensure you have checklist
completed all requirements for
receiving financial aid.
To receive financial aid, graduate
students are required to meet the
following criteria:
Must be matriculated/degree-seeking
in a graduate-level program. Non-
matriculated students and certificate
programs are not currently eligible for
federal financial assistance.
Must be enrolled in at least a half-
time status in a graduate program.
Graduate students in the Russ College
of Engineering and Technology
must take at least five credits a
semester to be considered half-time.
Must maintain Satisfactory Academic
Progress (SAP), which includes
maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA –
this is reviewed annually.

Academic Policies
A complete list of academic policies can be found in the Graduate Catalog. Here are some
important things to note:
Students must maintain a cumulative
GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) across the
duration of their program. A student
earning less than 3.0 will be placed on
academic probation the following
academic term. If the student
achieves a cumulative 3.0 GPA after
the following term, he or she will be
removed from probation. If the
student’s cumulative GPA is still below
3.0 at the end of the next term, the
student’s status will be reviewed by
the School’s Graduate Committee. A
student on academic probation who
does not demonstrate satisfactory
progress towards the minimum 3.0
GPA will be dismissed from the
program.
Students must earn a minimum grade
of C (2.0 grade points) for any single
course to count towards the degree
requirements. No more than two
courses with a grade of B-, C+, or C
may count toward the degree
requirements. Students receiving a
grade less than B- in three or more
courses are subject to dismissal.
Retaking a course is generally not
allowed, although the School’s
Graduate Committee does have
discretion to allow a retake if
meaningful hardship during the term
can be substantiated by the student.
It should be noted that, in the rare case
that a student is permitted to retake the
course, the original grade will remain on the
student’s transcript (along with the new
grade) and both of these grades will be
used in the student’s cumulative GPA
calculation.
Ohio University Graduate College
policy states that no graduate-level
degree will be conferred for a student
whose cumulative graduate GPA is
lower than 3.0.
Add, Drop, and Withdrawal Policy
Simply not participating in a course will NOT
constitute a withdrawal; students who need to
drop a course(s) will need to self-withdrawal by
the given deadline.
Students may drop a course(s) through the
week prior to the start of the term (Friday by
5:00pm EST) and receive a 100% refund.
Students may drop a course(s) and receive an
80% refund through the second week of class
(Friday by 5:00pm EST).
Students may withdraw from a course after the
second week of the term and receive a “WP”
or “WF” by the deadline.
Students should consult their Program Manager
for the exact date. Students that need to drop
or withdraw from a course(s) should contact
their Program Manager prior to doing so to
discuss how the drop impacts their program
completion and for an approved revised
degree plan.
Please take time to review the University’s
Academic Calendar for important dates and
deadlines.
