Buckeye Generation Learning Community

Submit your Buckeye Generation Learning Community application by April 1st to secure your spot in the program!

While students are not obligated to accept our offer of admission or to pay the enrollment deposit prior to May 1st, the opportunity to be included in our learning community does fill up quickly. We encourage you to pay your enrollment deposit as soon as you know you want to join the Buckeye Nation at Ohio State Newark.

You’ve been accepted to The Ohio State University at Newark…now what?

If you are lucky enough to be a first-time first-generation student we encourage you to apply to the Buckeye Generation Learning Community that was created just for you!
