INTO OSU Suspension/Dismissal bearing on Admission

INTO OSU students placed on suspension or dismissal (due to academic or attendance standing) will only be considered for admission to an OSU degree-seeking program or another INTO OSU program once they have satisfied all OSU transfer student requirements. Students wishing to return to a language-only program (Academic English, General English, College Year Abroad) may also be considered after a period no less than 2 years from date of suspension.
