Placement in FIT is determined by a competitive process based on a review of the submitted applications. Submitting an application does not guarantee placement in FIT, as spaces are limited. Students must be enrolled in the Ferguson College of Agriculture or University College planning to pursue a major within our college.

 

 

IMPORTANT: Applying to FIT does not replace registering for campus housing with OSU Housing and Residential Life. As a freshman, you are required to live in university or OSU housing. A student selected for FIT will not be able to receive their room assignment until their Commitment Fee and Housing registration has been completed.
