Professional admissions After you are admitted 3. Check email regularly

Ohio State sends important information (e.g., financial aid, registration, next steps, etc.) via email.

We'll use the email address you provided when you applied AND — once you've paid your acceptance fee — we'll email your BuckeyeMail account.

Check both several times a week. Here's how to check BuckeyeMail:

  • Log in to your BuckeyeMail account at buckeyemail.osu.edu using these credentials:
    • Your username for BuckeyeMail is your full BuckeyeMail address: lastname.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu.
    • Your password is the same password you created when you activated your Ohio State username.

Get help with login credentials.


If you don’t end up enrolling at Ohio State, your BuckeyeMail account and all data will be removed at the end of the semester for which you applied.
