Next Steps

In order to be adequately prepared to begin the MHI program this spring, please review the information on the site thoroughly. The site is designed to provide you with important information you need to know as a new student in the College of Nursing.

Use this New Student Checklist to ensure you have completed the necessary requirements prior to the start of the program.

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 MHI Program Manager, at hettich.3@osu.edu for assistance.
