We hope you consider applying to one of the most incredible student success programs at Ohio State Newark! The application is still available, which you can access under the “Application” tab on the left-hand navigation bar. Students are encouraged to pay their non-refundable Ohio State Acceptance Fee by this time as well. There is no fee to apply to the learning community. Our program is free and is for the primary purpose to support our students in their success!

If you have questions, please leave a comment on this site or call 740-755-7881.

We look forward to receiving your application and working with you as you become a Buckeye this fall!

Once the program is filled, students will be placed on a wait list for their application to be reviewed. As positions become available, students may be accepted off of the wait list.

Please note that priority consideration for housing is no longer available at this time as the deadline to submit the required information has passed.

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!
