International admission FAQs:
How to accept/decline admission

 


 

How do I accept my admission to The Ohio State University?

An Acceptance Fee Statement will be included in the packet sent to you if you are admitted. Please follow the instructions on this statement and return it as soon as possible, along with the US$100 acceptance fee.

 

I received my admission mailing too late to return it on time. Is my admission canceled?

We understand that it can take several weeks for mail to reach destinations overseas. We will not rescind your admission if we receive your Acceptance Fee Statement after the deadline printed on the form. Your admission is still valid.

 

Should an acceptance fee accompany the Acceptance Fee Statement?

Yes, the acceptance fee is US$100. You cannot register for classes until you have formally accepted your admission and paid the US$100 acceptance fee. We do not accept credit card payments. You must submit a bank check or bank draft drawn on U.S. dollars.

 

How do I decline the offer of admission?

If you are admitted, an Acceptance Fee Statement will be sent to you. This statement has a date on it and instructions that you should return the form, indicating that you are declining the offer of admission. You may also contact Undergraduate Admissions via phone, fax, or e-mail to inform us that you decline the offer.

We appreciate your interest and hope that you will consider reapplying to Ohio State in the future. We will retain your file for approximately one year. If you wish to be considered for admission in the future, please notify Undergraduate Admissions.
