Spring 2018 Financial Aid Loan and Scholarship Disbursements

Spring 2018 statements of account are now available to view in your Buckeye Link Student Center. Once your financial aid has been disbursed or posted to your account and all charges have been paid (due January 2), many of you will have money left over which is meant to be used for living and college-related expenses. If you signed up for direct deposit, you will receive this overage in the form of a “refund,” disbursed approximately seven to ten days prior to the start of the term (December 30 – January 2). If you have questions or would like to take out more funds in preparation for next semester, please contact Justin Griest.

Will You Be Practicing Outside of Ohio?

The State Authorization Team under the Office of Distance Education and eLearning has put together a list of links to all State Licensing Agencies for all professional programs. This is a handy resource if you are going to be seeking licensure outside of Ohio. Please note that our program meets license eligibility in every state. Here is a link to the State Optometry Boards (https://odee.osu.edu/state-optometry-boards)
