Most incoming students will need to complete a hiring/human resources orientation with a representative from the Arts and Sciences Business Service Center. Students who are appointed as fellows during Autumn 2024 do NOT need to complete this orientation, but will be required to do so in the future when moving from a fellowship to a GTA or GRA appointment. The first part of the orientation will be completed online and the second part will be completed in-person when you arrive to OSU. Please check your email regularly for messages from the Arts and Sciences Business Service Center and please respond accordingly to all actionable items.
