I have applied for admissions, now what documents do I need to turn in?

  1. Submit an official 8-semester high school transcript or GED scores. For students that have not received a high school diploma or their GED please contact the Admissions Office for more information.
  2. Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended regardless of credits earned.
  3. Submit ACT or SAT scores. There is no minimum score required for admission. These scores are used for placement and scholarships. We accept either National ACT scores or OSU System residual ACT test scores. In addition, you may submit a National SAT score instead of the ACT scores. Residual test dates and requirements are listed online. This step is optional, we request scores; however, they are not required.
  4. Submit a copy of your immunization records. Oklahoma state law requires that all new students who attend Oklahoma colleges and universities for the first time provide proof of immunization for certain diseases. Medical, religious and personal exemptions are allowed by law and such requests must be in writing using the Certificate of Exemption form available at the Campus Health Services Office located in the Student Union or online.
