Join STEP

How to Join STEP

First-year students indicate their interest in STEP during the housing reselection process that occurs during the spring semester.  

Students who do not participate in housing reselection or who have an approved exemption on file with Student Life Housing and Residence Education will be contacted by STEP via email to indicate their interest in the program.   

Following the housing reselection process, students will confirm their participation in STEP in spring semester and select their cohort meeting time in summer.  

Students who did not indicate an interest in STEP during housing reselection and are still interested in joining the program should reach out to step@osu.edu. Second-year students can join the program, as space allows, through the third week of fall semester.
