My daughter just received an email that allowed her to sign up for her orientation dates. It was sent to her personal email address and it stated that it would be the last communication to that email address and all further emails would be sent to her osu address. The email stated that orientation information would be sent via postal mail soon but that she could follow the link and sign up before receiving the information. She paid her acceptance fee around February 9 or 10. It appears that the students are not required to stay in orientation housing. It also appears that they are only required to eat one meal (lunch on the first day) with the orientation group. Housing and other meals are an optional package. They are required to attend all orientation sessions though.
We received the orientation e-mail, as well. Went to both the personal and OSU accounts. I was under the impression that this went out after the housing contracts were submitted. I have yet to get the housing contract though. Acceptance fee was paid on 3/1.
We have not yet received the housing contract either.
I havent received housing information either and I also accepted around the same time!! I know people who paid in the middle of January who recently got theirs yesterday
The housing information arrived on 3/22/19 at 6:45pm.
