How do i setup Buckeyemail?

Do i even have to do this? when i try to login it says username or password is wrong. im doing the lastname.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu and regular password and it is not working for me.

There should be detailed instructions in the packet that you got. Once you set it up on BuckeyeLink, you have to wait like half an hour before logging into Outlook.

It’s very necessary to set up your buckeyelink. This where a lot of your information will be regarding your admission and financial aid status. It will also have everything from your grades to payments once you’re a student. You should’ve received an email and/or a packet in the mail giving you instructions on how to set it up. Look for those.

Should you only do this once you decide to accept? Will all pertinent information regarding scholarships, financial aid come to your personal email? Would rather not have an additional email to check if only makes difference once you attend.
