Dear Bobcat:
You are receiving this email because you are registered for Spring Semester 2024-25 classes at 91Ƶ. Please check or to review your class schedule. If you are not attending 91Ƶ this spring semester and are still enrolled for classes, please contact your academic college or regional campus student services office.
The deadline dates listed later in this message are for classes that meet the standard dates for spring semester. However, many students (especially those enrolled in OHIO Online programs) take classes that meet during different dates from the standard spring semester dates. Therefore, it is important to check the add/drop/withdraw dates for each course you are registered to take during spring semester. These dates will vary on a class-by-class basis and may be different from those listed below.
To find specific deadline dates, such as last day to drop or last day to withdraw, select the calendar icon in your weekly schedule in . Deadlines are 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the date indicated (unless otherwise noted). However, online transactions may be processed beyond 5:00 p.m. Eastern if the system is available.
Reminder for Undergraduate students: The “standard” course load is 15 hours. You will need to be enrolled in 15 hours per semester on average to graduate within four years for a baccalaureate degree or two years for an associate degree. Please contact your success advisor, your academic college or regional campus student services office, or Allen Advising if you need assistance with choosing additional appropriate courses.
