What's New in 2023

Identity management, dining discovery, and BuckID upgrades.

  1. Identity

    Change Your Pronouns

    Students, staff, and faculty can now change their pronouns alongside other identity-management features in the app — like changing a password or preferred first name.

  3. BuckID

    BuckID Additions

    A digital BuckID has been in the Ohio State app for over a year. This year added the BuckID barcode — so students can check out library books without their physical card — plus a report-lost-or-stolen action to manage the physical card from the digital counterpart.
