You’re so close to returning as a Golden Grizzly! Here’s your readmission checklist.

STEP 1. SET UP APPOINTMENT WITH ORIENTATION AND NEW STUDENT PROGRAMS
If you are a readmitted student who is returning to OU after leaving in good academic standing, you may skip this step and proceed to Step 2.

Email[emailprotected]and a member of the orientation team will gladly set up an appointment to meet with you.

STEP 2. REACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT
A new system ensures that you can now keep your NetID and OU email account indefinitely; it no longer expires after a year.

When you were initially admitted to OU, you were assigned a Grizzly ID number. If you don't remember your Grizzly ID, please call Undergraduate Admissions at (248) 370-3360 (your Grizzly ID is also located in your acceptance letter).

First, reactivate your NetID using your Grizzly ID and PIN atoakland.edu/reactivate.

You will now have the ability to access your MySAIL account atMySAIL.oakland.edu. Login using your NetID and password for access to important student information, including your OU email account, which should be checked regularly.

Step 3: MEET WITH AN ACADEMIC ADVISER
Visitoakland.edu/advisingto find an academic adviser in your desired major.

STEP 4: REGISTER FOR CLASSES
To register for classes:

Visitoakland.edu/registrar/registration/regscheduleto review the registration instructions.
After reviewing the instructions, click the "Register Now" button on the above web page. Log in with your NetID and password.
Find the "Registration and Degree Planning" section on the MySAIL homepage. Select "Register Classes."
On the registration menu, click "Register for Classes."

If you receive an error message while registering for a course, please contact Registrar Services at (248) 370-3450.

If readmitted students fail to enroll for the semester or session for which their readmission is granted, that readmission is considered void. If students wish to enroll up to one year from the original term of application for which readmission was granted, they may do so with a request to update their readmission application by calling Undergraduate Admissions at (248) 370-3360. However, if such students wish to enroll for a term later than one year from the term for which they were readmitted, they must complete another readmission application and submit it by the deadlines.
