O-Key at OSU Your O-Key account is your passport to campus and connection to OSU. You have to set it up before you can access your OSU email account, accept your scholarships and financial aid, sign up for housing, enroll in classes and more, so it's important to do this as soon as possible.

OSU issues an eight-digit ID number commonly called a CWID (Campus Wide ID). It is assigned when your name is added to any OSU database. It does not change if you leave OSU or become an employee. If you return to OSU for a 2nd degree or resume your education after any break in enrollment, you retain your original CWID.

Make sure to include your name, Student ID, and your phone number, including the area code. Click on the O-Key Account Activation icon and enter required activation. Fill in your contact information. Once you are on your profile page, click the Change Password link on the left side of the page.
