Transfer Admission For the purpose of determining admission, a transfer student is one who has earned a minimum of seven or more semester hours of college-level credit after graduation from high school. OSU does not use incomplete, GPA-neutral passing grades (ex: “P” or “S”), remedial/ developmental, repeated/forgiven credit and activity courses when determining attempted hours for transfer admission. Transfer Admission Requirements 1. Students who have earned between 7-23 hours of college credit must satisfy both freshman admission requirements and achieve a minimum transfer GPA of 2.25 or higher in all college-level course work attempted. 2. Students who have earned 24-59 hours of college credit must achieve a minimum transfer GPA of 2.25 or higher in all college-level course work attempted. 3. Students who have earned 60 or more hours of college credit must achieve a minimum transfer GPA of 2.00 or higher in all college-level course work attempted. Transfer Credit Evaluation Transfer credit evaluation in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions determines acceptable transfer credit on a course-by-course basis for college-level credit earned at institutions who are fully accredited by any of the six U.S. regional associations. Students must have a completed application on file or be a currently enrolled OSU student to receive an official course evaluation. The evaluation is based on course content, as described in the catalogs of those institutions and in consultation with appropriate academic units at OSU. We reserve the right to make transfer credit evaluation updates and revisions due to changes in course content either from previous institution(s) or from Oklahoma State University. Transcripts of record from institutions not accredited by a regional association may be accepted in transfer when the Office of Undergraduate Admissions has had an opportunity to validate the courses or programs. All transferred courses are recorded on the student's academic record. No part of the previous collegiate record may be disregarded. Courses completed at institutions located outside of the U.S. will be reviewed for transfer credit based on U.S. regional accreditation standards or postsecondary recognition in the country for which the institution is located. It is highly recommended that the program requirements and course syllabi be submitted for all courses completed overseas. Readmission A student who has attended OSU but was not enrolled during the immediate past semester (except the summer session) must file an updated Application for Admission/Scholarship and current application fee or waiver. A student who has enrolled in another college or university since last attending OSU must submit a transcript from each institution. Admission status will be determined after an evaluation of the previous work has occurred. Additional Requirements for Admission or Continued Enrollment Enrollment Information After admission is granted, all students will receive detailed information on new student orientation. The fall semester enrollment process for freshmen is completed during scheduled orientation sessions conducted

on campus during the summer. Parents are welcome and are encouraged to participate in the enrollment process with the student. Students are required to submit a final high school transcript which includes confirmation of high school graduation to complete their admission record. Immunization Requirements and Health History All new students are required by Oklahoma law to provide evidence of having been immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella, (two shots), and against Hepatitis B, (three shot series). Read instructions carefully regarding the requirements to provide supporting documentation of these immunizations (copies of shot records). In addition, students are required to complete a brief medical history found on the Immunization and Health History form. This form is mailed to all new students or can be downloaded from the Internet at www.okstate.edu/UHS/ (http://okstate.edu/UHS). If this information is not received during the student's first semester, a hold will be placed on future enrollment until the requirement is met. Tuberculosis Testing Any student who meets any of the criteria below is required to provide evidence of having been tested for Tuberculosis within the six months prior to coming to OSU, OR by the fourth week of classes: To comply with this policy, the student must provide a copy of a TB skin test performed within the prior six months in the U.S., or if prior skin tests have been positive, documentation of a negative chest x-ray performed in the U.S. All records must include the dates and results of the tests. Specific instructions are on the Immunization and Health History form. Prior vaccination with BCG does not exempt the student from this testing requirement. Physical Examination New students have a choice of: 1. submitting a physical examination performed in the prior six months; OR 2. the student may complete the Health Risk Assessment provided by the Seretean Wellness Center. If students choose the physical examination option, their bursar accounts will be credited the $20 Health Risk Assessment fee. In-State/Out-of-State Status of Enrolled Students In-state/Out-of-state status refers to whether you are an in-state Oklahoma resident or an out-of-state resident, and this classification determines your tuition cost. Initial Classification A student's initial In-State/Out-of-State classification is determined by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions when the Application for Admission/ Scholarship is received. Petition for In-State Status A student classified as out-of-state for tuition purposes may petition for in-state status if the student believes he/she has been incorrectly classified as out-of-state. A Petition for In-State Status form must be submitted along with any additional supporting documentation to the
