way. We’ve put together this handy checklist so you can keep track of
what you need to do, and we’re always just a click or call away. You’ll find
more information on each topic in the following pages.

Your O-Key account is your passport to campus. You have
to set it up before you can access your OSU email account,
accept your financial aid, sign up for housing, register for
classes and more, so it’s very important to do this as soon as
possible. To set it up, go to okey.okstate.edu, click on O-Key
Activation and complete the activation wizard.
For help setting up your O-Key, visit it.okstate.edu or contact
the IT Help Desk at [email protected] or 405.744.4357.
Check your OSU email
at least once a week
orangemail.okstate.edu or
cowboymail.okstate.edu
Once you have your O-Key account set up, you can access
your OSU email account. This is where communication
from the University will be sent, including scholarships and
financial aid award letters, housing selection and enrollment
information, so it’s important to check it at least once a week.
