Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Program Extension

As an F-1 or J-1 student, you are given a specific period of time to complete your degree requirements.

For F-1 students, this period of time is reflected in the Program of Study section of your Form I-20, and for J-1 students, this period of time is reflected in Section 3 of your DS-2019. If you are unable to finish your degree requirements by that date, you must apply for a program extension BEFORE your current document expires.

In addition to the Program Extension form (as well as a letter of support from the academic advisor for Graduate students), you are also responsible for showing proof of funding for the additional time you need to extend.

Please email completed forms to iss@osu.edu.
