Next Steps
In order to be adequately prepared to begin the MCR program this spring, please review the information on this site thoroughly. It is designed to provide you with important information you need to know as a new student in the College of Nursing and how to complete the required steps prior to the start of classes. Please use the links in the drop-down menu or the menu to the left.
If you were admitted as a Graduate Intra-University Transfer, your acceptance will not be reflected on BuckeyeLink and you will be unable to register for classes or access Beacon until you have been reactivated by the Graduate School. This process can take up to four weeks from the acceptance deadline. If you still cannot enroll after that time, please reach out to your Graduate Program Manager.
If you have any questions about the information contained in this site, please email Douglas Hettich, the MCR Program Manager, at hettich.3@osu.edu for assistance.
