General Access PIN (GAP)

Upon admission a student may login to Online Services for the first time using their assigned student identification number and their GAP (general access PIN). The GAP is initially set to the student’s date of birth (mmddyy). Upon your initial login you will be prompted to change your GAP to another six digit number known only to you. Do not share this number with anyone. You will also be directed to establish a question and answer to be used to reset your GAP should you forget it.

After establishing your GAP number you then login to the ONID email system using your student ID and GAP number. Here you will establish your ONID username and password. Once your ONID username and password are established you will use those credentials to login to Online Services.

Registration PIN number

Students seeking a baccalaureate degree are required to enter a registration PIN number, provided by their academic advisor, upon initially entering the registration system for a term. The registration PIN number is randomly generated according to the advising requirements of your academic college. Registration PIN numbers are only given out by academic advisors. International exchange students attending OSU and non-degree Ecampus students may be provided registration pin numbers by administrators in those offices to facilitate their registration.
