After You Apply as an Online Student
Activate Your OHIO ID
Activate your OHIO ID! Once your application is received and begins processing, Undergraduate Admissions will send you an application acknowledgement letter with your Personal Identification (PID). Use your PID to activate your OHIO ID and create a password. Please allow 7-10 business days to receive your application acknowledgement letter.
Check Application Status
Once you've activated your OHIO ID, you can check your application status online 24 hours a day, seven days a week! Statuses are updated at least nightly. Please remember that while we may have received your application materials, we can provide updates only on those materials that have been processed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Application Status
Change Entry Term
In most cases, your offer of admission to OHIO is valid for one academic year. A new application (without fee) is required to change your intended entry term.
Appeal Admission Decision
Students who are not initially admitted to the University or, in some cases to a more selective program, may appeal the decision.
