New Buckeye Link and SIS
A new version of Buckeye Link (buckeyelink.osu.edu), available May 18, consolidates academic web services for all members of the Ohio State community into one convenient location. Where the current Buckeye Link focuses on current students, the new Buckeye Link provides something for everyone--current students, future students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
The new Buckeye Link features multiple pages, one for each Ohio State user community (current students, future students, alumni, and faculty/staff), with a convenient tab-based navigation bar so you can easily access the page you need.

Services Consolidated in the Redesigned Buckeye Link
The redesigned Buckeye Link site consolidates services currently available through a number of links from the osu.edu home page:
- Buckeye Link
- Future Students
- Current Students
- Alumni
- Faculty/Staff
These services were chosen based on input from Ohio State students, faculty, and staff. The overarching goal was to make Buckeye Link a single, university-wide resource for academic business.
Page Organization
Each page includes three columns:
- The left column features announcements of interest to that particular university audience.
- The middle column provides core web services for that audience.
- The right column provides important links to academic and business area web sites which that audience will use.
Updates to Buckeye Link
Starting June 2, additional options will become available for web services depending on the quarter and year that users need to access. These links will change as the new Student Information System is phased in over the next year.
In most cases, as these new functions become available, two links will be provided: one for quarters prior to Summer 2009 (pointing to current computer systems) and another for quarters after and including Summer 2009 (pointing to the new Student Information System).
