Preparing for Orientation
这个页面每年更新，因为我们接近夏季方向计划, 因此，鼓励学生在5月1日之后再来查看期末准备信息.
All incoming students should complete the following steps before participating in Bobcat Student Orientation (BSO) programs at Ohio University. Each step is important, 因此，请定期查看本网站，以确保您已完成所有要素.
Major Changes
如果你想改变你最初申请newbb电子平台的专业, 在参加培训之前这样做是很重要的, since our orientation program is designed to connect you with other students in your major or college. 要更改专业，请联系本科招生办 admissions@basilinfracon.com. Please include your full name, PID, and intended major [PDF].
Major changes should be done at least one week before your scheduled orientation date to make sure we have prepared your orientation materials for your new major. 然而，你可以在入职培训时提出重大变更要求. If you change your major after you have signed up for an orientation program the orientation staff may reach out to discuss potential date changes if the new major wasn't previously scheduled to participate in that program date.
Complete Pre-BSO Modules
所有学生必须在学习BSO课程之前完成在线模块. 学生必须使用他们的俄亥俄ID和密码登录模块. Your OHIO ID includes the first letter of your first and last name followed by six digits (example: aa000000). Family members and guests are also encouraged to view the modules by following directions on the Families and Guests web page.
完整的Pre-BSO模块链接将于5月1日提供.
Placement Tests
准备入学培训项目的一个重要部分是参加分班测试. 你需要参加的考试是由你选择的专业决定的. Placement tests are necessary to make sure you enroll in the appropriate first course in certain subject areas for the first semester in your major.
分班测试必须在预定的入学计划之前完成, and the available tests are as follows:
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Language
- Music Theory
使用多重身份验证(MFA)保护您的资讯
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) protects you against lost or stolen passwords by adding a verification step to your OHIO login. 新生在参加BSO课程之前必须先注册MFA. This step is important to ensure students can access their MyOHIO Student Center during course registration at BSO. 未能注册MFA可能会导致BSO期间课程注册的延误.
