Registering for Selective Service

Pursuant to Ohio Law, House Bill 845, all Ohio resident male students between the ages of 18 and 26, not registered with Selective Service, must file a statement of Selective Service registration. If you have not already registered with Selective Service, you will be contacted regarding your non-compliant status. Failure to comply will result in the assessment of nonresident tuition fees to your account and the cancellation of all state based financial aid.
