Department Policies

Policies for Program 60 participation and enrollment vary by department at Ohio State. Be sure to consider the information below when selecting courses.

American Sign Language

American Sign Language courses are unavailable to Program 60 participants.

Art

The Department of Art requires instructor permission for Program 60 participant enrollment into any art classes. Program 60 participants may take the same art course no more than two times, which will be verified before the participant is enrolled.

Aviation

Due to high demand for flight training, flight training is restricted to current degree-seeking students in the Aviation and Air Transportation majors only.  Program 60 students are welcome to request non-flight courses, but any flight training requests will be denied.  

The Center for Aviation Studies suggests those interested in flight training look into local flight clubs in their area (e.g. Capital City Aviation, Columbus Flying Club, and others).  Please note that many clubs also have wait lists.

Business Finance (BUSFIN)

Program 60 students will not be added until week 2 with instructor consent, per department policy.

Chinese

Individualized course instruction for all Chinese courses is unavailable to Program 60 participants.

Clinical / Medicine

Courses in Dentistry, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, and any additional courses with a clinical element are unavailable to Program 60 participants.

Food Science and Technology

FDSCTE 1200 The Science of Cooking is not available to Program 60 participants. The department is not able to support students not enrolled for a grade due to high demand for this General Education science course.  Consider FDSCTE 1140 Kitchen Science as an alternative.

French

By department request, enrollment approvals in beginner (1000 level) French courses will not be processed until after the online registration period has ended for credit-earning students (typically the first Friday of the term, check the Academic Calendar).
