The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have established high school curricular and
performance requirements for admission to programs leading to baccalaureate degrees. Students who
graduate from an accredited high school and meet both the curricular and performance criteria are
eligible for admission. All first-time students and transfers students with fewer than 24 credit hours
must also have an ACT score on file in the Registrar's Office.
Students who fall short of the admission requirements may be considered for Alternative Admission.
