Other Resources
OSU technology Email
Your OSU email account is your primary source of commu-nication with the university You will receive information via email from the Office of Residential Life, New Student Orientation and Scholarships and Financial Aid Once you begin classes, your professors and advisers will use this email address to send important class information
It is very important that you begin checking your email regularly You can access your email at prodosu.okstate.edu
Software distribution
If you need updated software for your Mac or PC, OSU Information Technology Department allows students to access the latest versions of selected Microsoft products for free Students may also download access to McAfee anti-virus software Login at it.okstate.edu/sdc using yourO-Keyinformationtoaccessthesoftware.
the Office of housing and residential Life If you have not yet completed your housing application, do so as soon as possible The choice of housing assignment is based on the date your housing application is submit-ted and deposit is paid Students who have completed this process receive an email from Residential Life in the spring with a specific date to complete the steps for choosing room assignments
During the housing contract process, you have the option of choosing a Living and Learning Community or Special Interest Housing While you are not required to choose a specialized community, there may be one that fits your academic or career goals
Learning Communities
For students seeking classes with other students in their area of interest, but without a specific residential require-ment, OSU’s academic advising areas offer Learning Community options An LC allows small groups of freshmen to enroll in two courses with other learning community freshmen Some benefits include:
•Buildingrelationshipswithotherstudents
•Developingstudygroupswithothersinmultipleclasses
•Enrollinginreservedsectionsofcoursespre-selected for the community
Your adviser will discuss the benefits of learning commu-nities at your enrollment
If you have not yet completed your housing application or would like more information about the Living and Learning Community or Special Interest Housing, visit reslife.okstate.edu
Please note: All students are required to live in university-approved housing (Residential Life, Fraternity or Sorority). If you plan to join a fraternity or a sorority and think you will live in the house, you should still complete your housing application as a backup.
Scholarships and Financial aidHigher education requires a great deal of financial planning The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid assists families in the navigation of college level finan-cial options The SFA website, financialaid.okstate.edu, provides resources and links to organizations specializing in educational funding In addition, timely announcements of scholarship applications and financial aid news are posted to the site Begin by reading through the resources on the website Call 405-744-6604 for additional infor-mation and assistance
The Scholarships and Financial Aid office updates your eligibility as new test scores and academic information are received Make sure any changes to your GPA, class standingandACT/SATscoresaresubmittedbyJuly1.Ifyouracademicmajorand/orcollegechangesfromtheone listed on your application for admission, contact the office at 405-744-6604
Many students do not understand the full cost of attending college Talk with your family about your budget expectations and what will be expected of you once your classes begin
If you’re expected to hold a part-time job, late spring and early summer is the best time to begin your job search Also, if you have been awarded a work-study position as part of your financial aid package, you should begin that job search now as those positions fill quickly
Other options include student and parent loans Discuss both with the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid so you know what questions to ask and the types of loans that best fit your needs

Academic Choices and MajorsMany people have probably asked about your chosen college major Choosing an academic path before you have even entered college can be difficult There are many factors to consider as you plan your route to graduation You have to consider the decision from many angles to find the best fit
ExampLE 1 Sometimes your career path seems mapped out for you already
Your grandfather was a doctor, your father is a doctor, and your sister is in medical school You feel pressure to follow the family profession However, math may not be your best subject, you may be worried about taking multiple lab science courses, or you may not be excited about the competition for medical school admission
aCtiON Now is the time to explore your profession, test your interests and find a path that better fits your interests
ExampLE 2 There are multiple directions related to your interests You may want a degree related to comput-ers but have no idea which area to pursue OSU has three distinct computer degree areas: Management Science and Information Systems (Business), Computer Science (Arts & Sciences), and Computer Engineering (Engineering, Architecture and Technology)
aCtiON Your choice depends on your personal and career goals If you have a specific career in mind, research it, and learn what degree areas usually support that career There are many options
•VisitthespecificOSUdepartmentwebsitefor each degree and discover the areas on which each degree focuses
•Readthecoursedescriptionslistedin the university catalog
•Talktopeopleworkingintheareaorinrelatedareas and ask how they earned their positions and what they studied (or wish they had studied)
discovering your Options
OSU divides degree programs into six academic colleges We encourage you to explore those colleges A list of majors divided by academic college can be found on the back of this book
If you are still undecided about your major and cannot determine a single academic college that houses most of your areas of interest, you can begin your academics in the Learning and Student Success Opportunities Center The LASSO Center advises students across the university rather than within a specific college Once an academic course of study is ready to be declared, students will transition to the appropriate college for degree comple-tion For more information about the LASSO Center, visit lasso.okstate.edu

dear New a&S Student:Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences We look forward to working with you during New Student Orientation and Enrollment We know you may be entering OSU with a certain major or with several interests to explore A&S advising and programs meet needs across this range
academic advising: During orientation and for your first OSU semester, you will work with an A&S freshman academic adviser who will help you test and confirm a major or provide introductions to a range of interests to find a good major fit After one or two semesters, you begin to work with an adviser in the major department Throughout your OSU career, your academic adviser serves as the central resource for information on academic programs and policies and as a referral to services across the university to meet your academic and personal needs Students in the Honors College, student athletes and students with disabilities have supplemental advisers to assist with unique requirements, eligibility issues or educational accommodations Get to know your advisers and let them get to know you
preprofessional advising for health professions and Law: OSU offers solid course preparation and advising for students preparing for a health profession or law school According to these professional schools, there are no degrees designated as “pre-med” or “pre-law ” You may choose any OSU major and incorporate the prerequisite courses for
health professions or the skill-developing courses for law school preparation We offer advising for these professional school goals, including individual advising, workshops and a communication network to keep you on track Learn more at: prehealth.okstate.edu and prelaw.okstate.edu
a&S Freshman Orientation: During the first semester, Arts and Sciences freshmen enroll in a one-credit hour orientation class that meets twice a week for the first eight weeks Transition to college, time-management and study skills, campus resources, university policies and procedures, and academic planning to get the most out of the OSU experience are emphasized in the course Many orientation classes are targeted toward one major or a group of similar majors, so you quickly meet others with the same interests as yourself
Undecided Students: With six undergraduate colleges at OSU and nearly 200 degree plans from which to choose, many students arrive uncertain of a major If most of your interests fit within the College of Arts and Sciences, our freshman advisers will help identify if any courses must be started in your freshman year to graduate in four years You will plan schedules that can both test your interests and meet overlapping general education requirements We welcome you to explore your goals with us Begin by checking out “What to Do With a Degree in…” at ascareers.okstate.edu
Feel free to call us if you have any questions We look forward to meeting you
