Lockers: There are a limited number of lockers available for student use in the basement of Newton Hall. These lockers are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must come to the Office of Student Affairs and Success (106 Newton Hall) to complete and sign a Locker Agreement form to be assigned a locker. This agreement can be renewed annually. Students are responsible for supplying the lock and will be required to provide the combination or a spare key for the lock to be assigned a locker. This will be kept secured with your signed agreement in the Office of Student Affairs and Success.

Important information regarding your Ohio State student email account:
The university will routinely send official communications to your university email address.

Those students who are also employees of Ohio State have an employee email (@osu.edu), which is also not linked to the Buckeyemail account. Employees of the OSU Wexner Medical Center have an OSUWMC account as well (@osumc.edu) that is not connected.
Please review the Advising Tip on Email Changes for more information. You may also call the OIT Help Desk at 614-688-HELP (4357), email them at 8help@osu.edu, check the websites www.8help.osu.edu or use your my.osu.edu website to check where your email is being forwarded and what options there are.
