Third-Party Contract Courses

We offer your Ohio State academic department services to help facilitate contract credit course offerings to a select group of individuals determined by a third-party/external entity such as a business or government agency. 

The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) provides services in contract with businesses, industry, civic organizations, government agencies, associations, healthcare providers, and other external parties to the university.

Our services for academic departments may include:

  • Coordination of fee suppression
  • Registration services
  • Student guidance for the admissions application process
  • Personal involvement with the students throughout the entire enrollment process
  • Coordination of the program through a point of contact within the academic department
  • Providing a fee waiver option for the students’ admission application fees on behalf of 
the academic department
