Columbus State Community College and The Ohio State University (OSU) officially launched Buckeye Bridge in September. Starting with Spring 2026 graduates, Buckeye Bridge offers a clear pathway for students planning to transfer to OSU within a set time frame.

A student’s eligibility will be reviewed by Columbus State, with final eligibility determined by OSU after admission is completed. Click here for additional information about Buckeye Bridge.

Introducing the Buckeye Bridge Intent Form
The Buckeye Bridge Intent Form is an online tool for Columbus State students pursuing an associate degree who want to transfer to Ohio State. By completing this form, students officially express their interest in joining the Buckeye Bridge Program. This process helps identify participants early so the college can provide guidance and support and ensure a smooth and successful transfer experience.

For Spring 2026 graduates planning to enroll at Ohio State in Autumn 2026, the deadline to submit the Buckeye Bridge Intent Form is Friday, May 15. While the form will remain available on an ongoing basis, meeting posted semester deadlines is important for consideration.

Where to send questions
Anyone with questions about the Buckeye Bridge Program, the Buckeye Bridge Intent Form, or the review process should email buckeyebridge@cscc.edu.
