Baker West Walk-in Hours

I'll be holding walk-in hours at Baker West on the following dates and times to help you with Autumn Quarter scheduling. If you can't make one of these times, you can always schedule an appointment (be sure to select Honors & Scholars student from the pull-down menu to get my calendar) to meet with me in my office at Knowlton.

Baker West Walk-in Hours
Wednesdays: April 28, May 5, and May 12 from 3:30-4:30pm

Please bring a copy of either your Advising Report or your Degree Audit, both of which are available through Buckeye Link.

There are some tips and tricks to autumn quarter scheduling, especially if you plan to continue in the architecture or landscape architecture program. Even if you have decided to pursue another major, it's really important that you take the time to talk with me or another advisor to make sure you are on track. Remember, it is your responsibility as a student to take action and make sure you are aware of degree requirements. Plan ahead and take the time to seek out the resources you need before your enrollment time begins.

Summer & Autumn Quarter Scheduling, Part 2

Attention first-year students who plan to apply to the architecture and/or landscape architecture majors...

When you register for autumn quarter, you will not be able to schedule permission-only architecture or landscape architecture courses (Arch 241, 271; Larch 252, 271).

Instead you should plan a full (15 hours+) schedule of alternative courses. What would you take if you (A) are not admitted to the major of your choice or (B) if you decide not to pursue one of these disciplines?

The required architecture and landscape architecture courses will be added to your schedule once you are admitted to one of those majors. Everyone who is admitted is guaranteed a seat in the required major courses.

Why do we ask you to schedule an alternative selection of courses? It will be much, much easier to schedule an alternative selection of courses now than it will be later in the summer.

Summer & Autumn Scheduling, Part 1

Yes, spring quarter has just begun, but it's not too early to think about autumn quarter scheduling. You'll be asked to schedule any summer and autumn quarter courses at the same time.

The registration schedule is as follows. For your specific enrollment appointment (day and time), review the enrollment appointment box in your Student Center. Days/times have not yet been posted, but should be available by the third week of April.

Apr 26-27: University Priority appointments open (Honors)
Apr 28-29: Graduating Seniors' appointments open
Apr 30-May 5: Seniors (Rank 4), Rank R, GRD appointments open
May 6-11: Juniors (Rank 3) appointments open
May 12-17: Sophomores (Rank 2) and CED appointments open
May 18-21: Freshmen (Rank 1) appointments open

First-year students: If you've accumulated more than 45 credit hours by the end of winter quarter, you are considered Rank 2. This includes any AP, PSEO, or IB credits you may have brought with you to Ohio State.
 
All students: If you've achieved a 3.4 cumulative GPA for the past two quarters, you are eligible to apply for Honors status. Schedule a meeting with Angi to find out details.
