My To Do List contains items that have already been sent to Ohio University. What does that mean?

My application status says "Complete." What does that mean?
There are two reasons that your application status will say complete.

I applied to an academic program with more selective admissions guidelines [College of Business, Russ College of Engineering and Technology (not applicable to Aviation Flight), E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, School of Media Arts and Studies, or School of Nursing], but my application status indicates University College. What does that mean?
If you do not initially meet that program's more selective admission criteria, but you meet the University admission guidelines, you will be offered admission to University College. Your letter of admission will provide further details on the possibility of appealing the admission decision or applying to another academic program.
I applied to the School of Dance, School of Film, School of Music, School of Visual Communication or the Aviation Flight major, but my application status also lists University College. What does that mean?
If you meet the University admission guidelines, you will be offered admission to University College pending your successful audition, portfolio review, interview and/or supplemental application for admission to the more selective admission program. If you are not admitted to the more selective program but you have been admitted to University College, your offer of admission to the University remains valid.
I applied to the School of Theater or School of Art + Design, and my application status lists "Fine Arts” twice. What does that mean?
If you meet the University admission guidelines, you will be offered admission to the BA program in your respective School pending your successful audition, portfolio review, and/or interview for admission to the more selective admissionprogram. "Fine Arts" appears twice to represent your status within the BA programand, separately, within the BFA program. If both "Fine Arts" rows are"complete" or "admitted," then OHIO has received your audition, portfolio, and/or interview. If one or more of your "Fine Arts" rows say "incomplete," then you should check your To Do List to view additional items that you need to submit.
To review your status in each program, click on the "Admissions" tab. From there, you can select each major to review individually. BA majors are represented by a plan code that begins with the letters "BA." BFA majors are represented by a plan code that begins with the letters "BF."
BA =admitted/BFA =applicant
If your BA program status is "admitted" and your BFA program status is "applicant," then your audition, portfolio, and/or interview are still under review.
BA =cancelled/BFA =admitted
If your BA program status is "cancelled" and your BFA program status is "admitted," then you have been admitted to the BFA program.
BA = admitted/BFA =cancelled
If your BA program status is "admitted" and your BFA program status is "cancelled," then you have not been offered admission to the BFA program. Your admission to the BA program and the University remainvalid.
I applied to the Honors Tutorial College (HTC), but my application also lists another academic college. What does that mean?
If you meet the University admission guidelines, you will be offered admission to the University in the College most closely related to your intended Honors Tutorial College (HTC) major. HTCwill review your application and notify you if the College decides to proceed further with your HTC application. If you have questions about the status of your HTC application, please email HTC at [email protected] or call 740.593.2723.
