ONID = One Network ID

Admitted students are encouraged to activate their ONID early, even if they are still unsure whether or not they will attend OSU.  Doing so allows you to view your scholarship and financial aid offers when they are made, along with other key to-do's in the enrollment process.  Note:  ONID can take 36-48 hours after admission before you are able to register.  Check back frequently.
