  1. Academic

    To-Do Lists

    Student To-Dos went live at the start of classes, pulling SIS tasks into the Ohio State app so students can prepare for the term in one place. Since release, To-Dos have been a top-20 feature.

    Available to everyone with an Ohio State account: net paystubs, leave balances, and timesheets from Workday — plus local notifications when a new paystub arrives. Log in to the Ohio State app and open the Human Resources Profile section of the For You tab.

Feedback and Thanks

Special thanks to the Ohio State app team — mobile, web, and partners around campus. A couple of pieces of feedback we've received in the first weeks of the semester:

  1. Screenshot of a staff member's five-star review of the Ohio State App

    I LOVE this app! I can't believe how many resources there are here. I'm an employee, but I also graduated back in 2006 and it's pretty crazy I can still access my grades too! It would be nice to see my full paycheck instead of just the total, but otherwise this is an awesome app. Thank you!

    — Kristen S., OSU staff
  2. Screenshot of a student's five-star review of the Ohio State app

    Nailed the UI design, please never change it. I wasn't able to figure out how to reorder favorites, would love to know how to do that!
