Parents and Families

Welcome to the Ohio Northern University family. Your student has made an excellent decision to become a Polar Bear! Students engage in excellent academic programs as active learners who are well prepared for advanced study and the professional workforce. We will strengthen their experience with opportunities such as student-faculty research collaborations, internships, service learning, and other high impact activities.

Our students value not only the rigor and relevance of our academic programs, but also the quality of our co-curricular experiences. A hallmark of ONU is that we attract academically strong students who also pursue their talents and passions as student-leaders, student-performers, student-volunteers, and student-athletes.

This website will help you navigate through the university experience and be your first source for finding answers to your questions. ONU is poised to provide your student with a transforming education, and we look forward to staying connected and interacting with parents and families along the way.

Go Polar Bears!
