The Ohio State University at Newark

We encourage all students interested in learning more about The Ohio State University at Newark to join us for a Buckeye Visit Day.

Please visit this page to learn more about Visit Guidelines.

Future Buckeye Visit Day dates:

In early December, we will open registration for the following Buckeye Visit Days:

Friday, January 28
Friday, February 18
Saturday, March 5
Saturday, April 23

We are transitioning to a new event registration platform so we ask your patience as we do so. Should you have any questions, please call our office at 740.366.9333.

If students cannot attend our Buckeye Visit Day, the next best option to learn more about campus would be to register for an Information Session. Information Sessions will be two hours and will include an admissions overview and a guided tour of campus with an admissions professional.

Autumn Information Session dates:

Friday, December 17 (1:00 to 3:00 p.m.)
Thursday, December 30 (1:00 to 3:00 p.m.)

Virtual Campus Partner Events will return during autumn semester. Please check back for future dates.
