Special Opportunity Admission (all tiers)
Any student who has not graduated from high school but has
earned a composite ACT score of 32 or combined critical reading and
mathematics SAT score of 14201 may apply for admission
at any public institution in the State System. The college or
university will determine admissibility based on test scores,
evaluation of the student's level of maturity and ability to
function in the adult college environment, and whether the
experience will be in the best interest of students intellectually
and socially.
Summer Provisional Admission Program (research and regional
universities)
Students who have met the State Regents' curricular requirements
for admission but have not satisfied the ACT or high school
performance requirements may be admitted if they successfully
complete summer course work (no grade lower than a "C"). To
qualify, students must have a minimum composite ACT score of 18 for
research universities (Oklahoma State University and the University
of Oklahoma) and 17 for regional universities OR a minimum high
school GPA of 2.5. At OU, this admission opportunity is not
available to nonresidents and is available to resident applicants
only if all resident applicants on the waiting list have been
admitted.
Summer Curricular Deficiency Program (regional
universities)
Students who have met the State Regents' performance
requirements for admission but have two or less high school course
deficiencies may attain entry by successfully completing the
relative summer course work with no grade lower than a "C."
Alternative Admission (research and regional universities)
Institutions may admit up to 8 percent of freshmen or 50
freshmen (whichever is higher) who do not meet regular admission
criteria.
Adult Admission
Students 21 years of age and older or on active military duty
are eligible for admission to any college or university based on
criteria established at the campus. Non-high school graduates whose
