The Graduate School also offers a virtual orientation. Designed as a Carmen course, it has been developed to provide graduate students with an overview of the Graduate School, graduate education at the University, and the resources available to all graduate students. New graduate students will be contacted directly to inform them of the orientation and, due to its asynchronous nature, they are welcome to review it at their convenience. Students seeking technical assistance in accessing the orientation should contact the OTDI IT Help Desk at (614) 688-HELP (4357) or 8help@osu.edu.
