Orientation info?

<p>So, on my applicant center, I got a new link that says “Orientation information,” except when I get to page 3 it says there aren’t any available dates?</p>

<p>Anyone else having the same issue?</p>

<p>I have it there now too, but mine won’t even click into the dates, just keeps loading.</p>

<p>Yeah, for mine I can click the link and it loads for a few seconds, but then just stops.</p>

<p>You should try again. Some people (myself included) were able to register for orientation.</p>

<p>Don’t want to hijack the thread or anything, but I need some help. I signed up for the admitted students tour for tomorrow morning, but I have no idea where it starts and where I meet the tour guide. Anybody know?</p>

<p>Admitted student events start at Ohio Union</p>

<p>Captain McNeil, were you able to purchase the housing plan when you registered for orientation? I could choose a date, but couldn’t get the housing info to come up. I didn’t get a confirmation either, so I’m wondering if registering the date isn’t complete until you sign up for housing.</p>

<p>Never mind…I got it. :)</p>

<p>How are you guys getting it to work? Does it just load for you or did you have to do something special to it?</p>

<p>Mine still says no available dates :/</p>

<p>And what do you mean housing to come up? You can get to it from the student center…? I thought you had to have the email</p>

<p>Nevermind turns out I just had to call the orientation office. June 10th!</p>

<p>I meant the housing for orientation, but it just turned out that my pop-up was blocked.</p>

<p>I got mine done too, I emailed the orientation office and they sent me a different link into it.</p>

<p>Just realized why it wouldn’t load for me all this time. I was trying to access the Orientation Information link from my Student Center, and instead had to access it from my Applicant. I wish I could have figured that out before I reserved my date over the phone :slight_smile: But I was able to do my housing and dining online once I figured out where I had to go.</p>

<p>Do you guys know anything about the housing…? Is it just for the students? What’s the purpose of it, I mean why would we stay there?</p>

<p>@imperio</p>

<p>I just scheduled orientation last night, but I did not do housing. I don’t think it’s mandatory to stay on campus and I can’t think of any reason why we would. Please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>@imperio its there in a case the student and guest’s are coming from OOS or don’t live in Columbus, so they have accommodation for the day before and after orientation to stay somewhere.</p>

<p>Yeah but the housing is only for students… You can only get a lunch package for the parents. So is it for kids who don’t have a parent coming with them or something?</p>

<p>I was there four years ago with my oldest son. I believe most students stayed in the dorm overnight. They had a lot of activities for students going on after the regular orientation day was over. </p>

<p>I think parents can actually stay as well. At least it was that way when I was there four years ago. I chose to stay in a hotel. We live about three hours away from OSU.</p>
