Ohio State offers an academic policy called the Grade Forgiveness Rule. Under this rule, students can petition to complete a second attempt at a course and, once completed, remove the grade of the first attempt from their OSU GPA calculation.

What's a secondary application? After applying through AMCAS and your MCAT eligibility verified by our office, all applicants who designated Ohio State College of Medicine as one of the schools of their choice will receive an email which will include the link to the secondary application.

However, the Grade Forgiveness Rule allows undergraduate students to petition to repeat up to three courses under a different arrangement: the grade in the repeated course will permanently replace the original grade for the course in the calculation of the student's cumulative GPA.

What happens if you: Drop below full time status (less than 12 credits per term): Pell Grant: If you drop below full time status before the end of the add/drop period, the amount will be pro-rated. You will receive 3/4 of the award amount for 9-11 credits, or 1/2 of the award for 6-8 credits.

It is a general suggestion to apply early (Ohio State's early action deadline is November 1 and the final deadline for the Columbus campus is February 1). Apply for scholarships and financial aid by February 15.

A PE grade is equivalent to a D+ or D and is not accepted to meet a program or course requirement of a C- or better. More information here.

Failing one class does not mean you'll automatically lose access to federal financial aid. But these funds do have academic eligibility requirements, as outlined in your school's satisfactory academic progress (SAP) guidelines.

Applicants who have earned a cumulative 2.5 or better from all colleges and universities attended are typically competitive for admission to the Columbus campus. Grade trends and performance in courses key to the chosen major are considered in the admissions decision.

What GPA does OSU want? ›

With a GPA of 3.81, Ohio State University requires you to be near the top of your class, and well above average.

The acceptance rate at Oklahoma State University is 70.6%.

In other words, of 100 students who apply, 71 are admitted. This means the school is not selective. As long as you don't fall way below average, you'll likely get in.

A reduction in credit hours may result in a refund of a portion of fees. Dropping a course or withdrawing from the university may impact financial aid. Adjustments may be made as refunds, credits, or adjustments to financial aid. Contact your academic advisor and Buckeye Link before changing your schedule.

The P/NP grading option converts assigned letter grades to either a P (passing) or NP (not passing) grade, both of which are GPA-neutral and ignored by GPA calculations. P grades are considered passing, and transfer courses with P grades will count in earned hours and toward degree requirements.

More students fail a class in college than you might expect. At The Ohio State University, for example, each year 4,500 undergraduates retake failed classes. That represents around 10% of the undergraduate population. A higher number likely fail a class and choose not to retake it.

You can drop a course on or before the tenth Friday of the semester. For current term deadlines, visit the Registrar's web site and click on “Important Dates” under “Quick Links.” On or before the fourth Friday, no record of your enrollment will be recorded on your transcript.

Adding Courses – Second Week of Term

Adding a course during the second week of the term will require departmental approval. You will need to request an override from the department responsible for the course in order to register for the course in Beaver Hub – Register/Add/Drop Classes.

Note that Ohio State's early action deadline is November 1, 2022 for new first-year students applying to the Columbus campus. The regular decision deadline is February 1, 2023.
