New Student, Transfers

OSU Corvallis

OSU's orientation (known as START) is for new students coming to the Corvallis campus — whether a first-year freshman right out of high school, or a transfer students from an institution outside of OSU (like a community college or another college or university).

As part of START, you’ll get an introduction to the College of Business and your first advising consultation as you plan your first-term schedule. You'll also receive your registration PIN number which allows you to register for classes. If you are transferring college credits, you can bring unofficial copies of your transcripts. And if you're a parent or family member of a new student, there's also information about how you can support your new OSU student.

START orientations take place before fall, winter, spring and summer terms. To find out more about START, visit New Student Programs and Family Outreach

Current OSU Students

The Business of changing programs

Our current  students often refine their degree plans during the course of their study. Some declare a different major, while many others add a second major or a minor. If you're interested in declaring a program within the OSU College of Business, we ask that you 1) review our program offerings; 2) be familiar with the basics of our academic standards and degree program requirements; 3) review our academic planning tools to best see how your existing coursework may fit and restrictions some of our programs have; and 4) schedule an appointment!  We'll help you make this transition as smooth as possible.
