Online Programs at BGSU
How to Apply

Getting started at BGSU ONLINE and taking online classes requires the same process as if you wanted to enroll at BGSU to take classes face-to-face. You need to figure out what online degree or online classes you want, apply for admission, register for the classes, and pay tuition.

When getting ready to join the BGSU community it is important to define your goals so you know where you are going. Contact the Non-Traditional and Transfer Student Services department for more information on how BGSU can guide you through the process, assist with transfer credit evaluation and provide support for any uncertainties that you encounter.

Already a BGSU Student?
 

If you are already a student at BGSU then you can log in to your MyBGSU Account to search and register for online classes just like you would for face-to-face classes.

Were You Previously Enrolled at BGSU?
 

If you are a former BGSU student and would like to return, a brief readmission application must be completed and returned to the Office of Registration and Records. Once your application has been received you will be able to log in to your MyBGSU account to search and register for online classes.

New to BGSU?
 

If you are new to BGSU you must first go through the Office of Admissions to be admitted as a student so that you can receive your BGSU ID# and set up your username and password.
