FOUNDED ON DEC. 25, 1890, only 20 months after the Land Run of 1889, Oklahoma State University began as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, the state’s land-grant institution. When the first students assembled for class in 1891, no buildings, books or curriculum existed. It took 2 1/2 years after classes began in local churches for the college’s 144 students to move into the first academic building, Old Central. Oklahoma A&M’s first commencement, with six graduates, was in 1896. Land-grant institutions were created during Abraham Lincoln’s presidency to provide all citizens with greater access to a college education. OSU continues that landgrant tradition today. The large and comprehensive Stillwater campus comprises 27,819 acres and 493 buildings, all while maximizing the personal attention given to each student.

CAMPUS TRADITIONS Oklahoma State University is steeped in tradition. Here are a few of our favorites to help you better understand the true meaning of our Cowboy spirit.

Homecoming Homecoming has been a tradition at OSU for a century dating back to the Harvest Carnival in 1913. The OSU Alumni Association hosted its first official Homecoming in 1920. Today, America’s Greatest Homecoming draws crowds in excess of 80,000 to Stillwater, with events such as the Sign Competition, Harvest Carnival, Walkaround and the Sea of Orange Parade. The Edmon Low Library fountain is dyed orange during Homecoming.

Pistol Pete Until 1923, OSU’s mascot was a tiger, adopted from Princeton University, whose colors were orange and black. At that time, students were looking for a mascot with a better Oklahoma fit. During their search, a group of students saw Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton riding in a parade and decided to adopt his likeness as their mascot. Eaton served the university for 35 years, appearing at athletic events, building dedications and other university events and was eventually inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Each year, two students portray the animated gunslinger Pistol Pete and appear at more than 500 events as a symbol of the university’s fighting spirit.

Bullet and the Spirit Rider A rider carrying the OSU flag rides a dark horse onto Boone Pickens Stadium at the beginning of each home game and after each touchdown. The “Spirit Rider” tradition began in 1984 when student John Beall became the first rider, using his own horse. OSU purchased its own Spirit Rider horse in 1988 and named him “Bullet” through a contest in the student newspaper, the Daily O'Collegian.

Theta Pond The pond, built in 1895, was originally known as Horse Pond because it provided water to the horses and other livestock housed nearby in the horse barn. After the barn burned in 1922, the pond became known as Theta Pond, drawing its name from the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority located across what was then College Avenue (now University Avenue). During the past 60 years, Theta Pond has undergone numerous renovations, including expansion, lighting and landscaping. It is customary for people to be “ponded” on special occasions. We don’t recommend it, however. There are even stories of the Sirloin Stockade restaurant bull statue visiting the pond on occasion.

Alma Mater The OSU Alma Mater hymn was written by Robert McCulloh in 1957. Students and alumni link arms and sway as the Alma Mater is played at sporting events and campus ceremonies. The tune can also be heard several times daily across campus from the library bell tower. Just remember, the left arm goes up on the “S” at the end.

ALMA MATER HYMN LYRICS Proud and immortal, bright shines your name; Oklahoma State, we herald your fame! Ever you’ll find us, loyal and true, To our alma mater O - S - U!

Orange Fridays In a show of orange pride, then-President James Halligan encouraged the university to wear orange on the Fridays before football games. On gamedays, entire stadiums and arenas are filled with orange to support all of our athletes.

The Walk On gameday, two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff, the football team walks down Hester Street to Boone Pickens Stadium. Fans gather on the side of the street and cheer their Cowboys on to victory.

OSU Spirit Run During the second half of OSU home basketball games, a member of the OSU Spirit Squad runs around the upper level of the arena carrying a huge OSU flag while the Spirit Band plays the William Tell Overture. The flag is passed to other members of the Spirit Squad until it arrives to the center of Eddie Sutton Court to be waved until the end of the song.

OSU FACTS AND FIGURES Oklahoma State University is committed to making information about the university easily accessible. The Office of Institutional Research and Analytics provides comprehensive data and a thorough look at OSU’s divisions, colleges and departments, helping students and parents make informed decisions. The following information is housed at osuledgers.okstate.edu. Academic Ledgers contain a five-year history of student, faculty, research and financial information, as well as tuition/mandatory fee rates. The academic ledgers are available for the entire university, every academic college and each college’s departments. In order to easily identify information reported for external rankings (e.g. U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges and Top American Research Universities), these categories are color-coded in red or blue in the university and college ledgers.

• Student Profile contains additional student information, including the geographic origins of OSU students, enrollment trends, academic information and enrollment projections. • Diversity Ledger is a five-year history that provides a more detailed breakdown of OSU’s students, faculty and staff.

NAVIGATING your PURPOSE

CHOOSING A MAJOR Choosing an academic path to fit your interests and aptitudes isn’t always easy, especially when careers aren’t always directly linked to undergraduate degrees. In fact, degrees often lead to a variety of career choices depending on how you focus your interests, knowledge and abilities. Your experiences in and out of class, along with selfassessments like “MyMajors,” help from your academic advisor and OSU Career Services consultant, can help you discover the right fit for you.

WHAT DEGREE PATH SHOULD YOU TAKE? If you have a specific career in mind, the best starting point is researching degree paths that usually support it through online searches, personal contacts and your OSU resources. A great place to start is the Career Services website at HireOSUgrads.com. Click on the “Explore Careers” tab for resources and online career assessments. In addition, take advantage of OSU’s “MyMajors” tool. This interactive website will help identify how your aptitudes, knowledge and strengths lend themselves to OSU degree programs. Your results will link you to majors and options identified as a best fit for you. MyMajors takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. For more information, visit okstate.mymajors.com.

OTHER OPTIONS: 1. Visit okstate.edu and read the home pages for each degree area and its options. 2. Read the course descriptions listed in the university catalog for any potential degrees. This will give you an idea of the types of classes you will take for each major. View it online at catalog.okstate.edu. 3. Talk to people working in the field or in related areas and ask questions about how they earned their positions and what they studied (or wish they had studied). For your first enrollment, you don’t have to know exactly where you’re headed, but you should have a few options in mind. If you’re looking at multiple areas, choose the degree program with the least flexibility to start. For instance, if you’re equally interested in graphic design and marketing, you might begin in graphic design, where the first semester coursework should include Drawing I. Marketing is slightly more flexible and will allow for transfer of classes to its program should you change your major within your first or second year. Your academic advisor will help you choose the most appropriate courses for your current academic and career focus.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE MAJORS AND OPTIONS Some program requirements provide flexibility for combinations of majors and minors without adding extra hours to your degree. OSU offers double majors, double degrees, degree minors and certificates of study. The majors and options offered at OSU for the 2021-2022 academic year are listed below.

GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES Courses required of all students by the State Board of Regents form a common base of experience for all degrees. Each college may add to or require specific courses within the general education requirements for degree programs if deemed prerequisite work for major requirements. Code letters found below appear with the course titles listed in the catalog and class schedules. When you visit with your academic advisor, they will discuss the degree plan and four-year plan (example found on pg. 21) for your chosen major. The code letters listed below designate the general education categories. A = Analytical and Quantitative Thought H = Humanities S = Social and Behavioral Sciences N = Natural Sciences L = Scientific Investigation I = International Dimension D = Diversity

General education course lists are maintained by the Office of Academic Affairs and updated each semester on my.okstate.edu. Because some majors require specific courses, it’s very important you discuss all degree areas you’re considering with your academic advisor. This will help you and your advisor choose the most appropriate courses for your interests and potential degrees and careers, reducing the chance you’ll need additional courses should you change majors. The following lists a few sample lower division classes fulfilling each of the general education requirement areas on OSU degree plans. Talk to your academic advisor to find courses that best fit your degree choice and work with plans for double majors, minors or additional programs of study. These courses are only a sample. For a complete list of general education (GenEd) classes offered, visit your advisor or use the advanced search features of the course catalog at my.okstate.edu.

COURSE PLACEMENT CREDIT BY EXAM OSU accepts Advanced Placement Program (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and International Baccalaureate Program (IB) for college-level credit.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) AND INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) CREDIT The Office of Undergraduate Admissions website, admissions.okstate.edu, includes the requirements to receive academic credit for tests taken through high school advanced placement coursework in the "Information for Freshmen" section. Since many AP scores are not finalized until the summer, students enrolling for coursework before they have their scores should spend time with their academic advisor developing enrollment choices if academic credit isn’t awarded. It’s your responsibility to keep your advisor updated about necessary changes in your course enrollment after scores are received.

CONCURRENT COLLEGE CREDIT (CREDIT FROM ANOTHER INSTITUTION) Students must provide official transcripts prior to their enrollment at Oklahoma State University. If an official transcript is not yet available, students should bring an unofficial transcript to their enrollment session. In order to enroll in the proper courses, other credit must be evaluated.

CREDIT BY EXAM (CLEP) For students with advanced subject knowledge, the CLEP exam can help save money and time. CLEP is designed to test your knowledge of college-level subjects and passing scores earn credit for equivalent OSU courses. OSU does not charge tuition or fees for credit earned. The only expense is the actual cost of the exam and testing center fee. To schedule an exam, visit testing.okstate.edu. Additional score reports may be requested as follows: CLEP Transcripts Request Service P.O.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE PLACEMENT EXAMS Department of Languages and Literatures 206 Gundersen 405-744-5658 Students who have completed two or more years (or equivalent) of credit in high school Spanish, French or German may consider taking a placement exam prior to enrollment to determine the best course placement. Only those who plan to enroll in a foreign language course the next semester should take the placement exam. Placement test scores determine the appropriate level of coursework for enrollment. Placement results remain valid for two semesters (not including a summer semester) following the test date. The test must be taken by the last date on which the course can be added during the semester in order for retroactive credit to apply. Students who complete the course into which they are placed with a grade of “A” or “B” are eligible to receive up to 6 credit hours for the coursework above which they were placed. After all grades have been posted for the semester, the foreign language advisor will verify the score and date of the placement exam and the grade earned in the placement course. If placed in 2723 (Spanish), 2723 (French) or 2723 (German), earning an “A” or “B,” the student will earn 6 hours of retroactive advanced standing credit (1713 and 1813). Advanced standing credit in Latin, Greek, Chinese, Japanese or Russian may also be considered. Students of these languages should see the Foreign Language Advisor for testing procedures.

Step 3:

GATHER INFORMATION

IDENTIFY QUESTIONS

CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES

•

What is my current situation in the class? What do I need to do to improve my situation? What grade have I earned at this point?

•

How will dropping this course affect my financial aid, scholarships, Honors College status, medical insurance or housing?

•

What are the consequences of earning a “D” or “F” grade in the class? How will retaking the class affect my GPA?

•

How much time and effort have I put into the course? How much time and effort do I need to invest?

•

How will this drop affect my graduation plan?

•

What are my chances of passing the class?

Is this course a prerequisite for something else I need to take? Is at least a “C” required to satisfy the prerequisite?

•

Have I sought tutoring or success coaching for additional assistance?

•

Is my foundation of knowledge from this course strong enough to move on to the next class?

•

How much of the final grade is already determined? How well do I need to do on future tests and papers?

•

How will investing more time in this course affect my performance in other classes?

•

What does the professor recommend?

What are the consequences of having a “W” on my transcript?

What do my parents/family think is the best option?

• If I drop the class, will I have trouble fitting it into my schedule in the future?

Before dropping any course at OSU, you should always consult your advisor. In addition, make sure you are aware of drop and withdraw deadlines found on the academic calendar at registrar.okstate.edu. If you are taking courses that do not meet the entire semester, the drop and withdraw dates will be different.

Grades In any academic setting, performance in coursework must be evaluated before you can move on to the next level. The quality of your academic performance will be indicated by some of the following letter grades. For a complete list of all grading options, consult the Office of the Registrar. • “A” Excellent • “B” Good • “C” Average • “D” Below average • “F” Failure • “F!” (F shriek) indicates the student failed due to a violation of academic integrity (see the Academic Integrity Policy). Students may remove the first “!” (though not the “F”) from their transcripts by completing an academic integrity educational program (see the Academic Integrity website at academicintegrity.okstate.edu). • “I” is given when a student satisfactorily completes the majority of the coursework with an average of “D” or better but has been unavoidably prevented from completing the remaining work in the course. • “P” is earned for passing work in OSU courses approved for pass/no-pass and pass/fail grading systems. Both credit hours and grade points are ignored in calculating grade-point averages. • “NP” is earned for unsatisfactory work (including evaluations of “D”) in courses on the pass/no-pass and pass/fail grading systems. • “S” or “U” is given for satisfactory (equivalent to a “C” or better) or unsatisfactory work in remedial courses in English, mathematics, reading and science. • “W” indicates a course a student has withdrawn from after the drop/add deadline.

Retention Standards Continuing at OSU requires maintaining academic performance levels. Students who don’t maintain satisfactory progress toward their academic objectives as indicated below will be placed on probation for the following semester. During academic probation, students must raise their overall GPA to the appropriate level to remove the probation status or receive at least a 2.0 semester GPA to continue the following semester.

Grad/retention hours attempted

GPA required

0-30 1.7 31 or more

Students with 30 credit hours and a GPA between 1.7 and 2.0, considered “Academic Notice,” should speak with their academic advisor for help.

When a student turns 18 or attends an institution of postsecondary education, FERPA rights transfer from parent to the student. At the postsecondary level, parents have no expected rights to view their child’s education records. Information regarding education records is best obtained by direct communication between the parent and the student. If desired, students may grant view-only record access to parents or other third parties using the Proxy tab in Self Service. See the Proxy Access website for more information. Students may also set up a guest login to Bursar billing information at bursar.okstate.edu. Parents of a dependent student may gain view-only access to education records by producing the most current copy of Internal Revenue Form 1040 to the Office of the Registrar. If parental access has been granted, educational records may be viewed in person once an appointment has been arranged through the Office of the Registrar. We welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you if you have any questions. Extensive information regarding FERPA rules at OSU is located under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act link at registrar.okstate.edu/ferpa.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY OSU students are expected to follow the policies and guidelines written in the Student Code of Conduct. OSU takes these codes and policies seriously and requires students to understand the code and the Academic Integrity Policy. To learn more, visit studentconduct.okstate.edu and academicintegrity.okstate.edu. The following are excerpts from the Academic Integrity Policy: All members of the Oklahoma State University community are entrusted with academic integrity, which encompasses the fundamental values of honesty, trust, respect, fairness and responsibility. Students are expected to:

CONSEQUENCES

• Understand and uphold the academic integrity guidelines established by the university and their instructors.

These behaviors may subject the student to disciplinary action including receiving a failing grade on an assignment, exam or course, receiving notation of a violation of academic integrity on their transcript and suspension from the university. Serious violations discovered after a student graduates may lead to revocation of a degree. These behaviors are described in detail in the Academic Integrity Guidelines.

• Present their own work for evaluation by their instructors.

The following sanctions are applied based on the seriousness of the violation:

• Appropriately cite the words and ideas of others. • Protect their work from misuse. • Accept responsibility for their actions. • Treat instructors and members of the Academic Integrity Panel with respect when violations of academic integrity are examined or appealed and trust that instructors and the Academic Integrity Panel will enforce policy and procedures.

a. Admonition — grade reduction and/or resubmission of the assignment for minor, first-time violations. b. Level one sanction — grade of “zero” or “F” for the assignment or examination. c. Level two sanction — grade of “F!” for the course. The transcript will indicate that a grade of “F!” signifies the student failed the course because of an alleged violation of academic integrity. d. Level three sanction — recommend dismissal from the university.

Students are urged to sign the OSU Commitment to Academic Integrity statement. “I will respect OSU’s commitment to academic integrity and uphold the values of honesty and responsibility that preserve our academic community.”

Behaviors that violate the fundamental values of academic integrity may include but are not limited to: • Unauthorized collaboration. • Plagiarism. • Multiple submissions. • Cheating on exams (including prerequisite exams). • Fabricating information. • Helping another person cheat. • Unauthorized advance access to exams. Instructors may identify other behaviors that violate academic integrity.

An academic integrity violation, such as receipt of a failing grade, may result in additional consequences including program or aid ineligibility, program dismissal, visa status issues, etc. Think about why you are at OSU, the value of your education and of honestly completing your work. Students are encouraged to notify instructors when they observe violations of academic integrity.

TYPES OF ACADEMIC ADVISORS There are three basic types of academic advisors at OSU. Your advising experience will vary across academic colleges and a combination of these may be used throughout your experience.

PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS are

generally centrally-located in an academic college’s student success center. These individuals have a wide range of knowledge regarding majors within their specific academic college.

MAJOR/DEPARTMENTAL ADVISORS are generally located within the specific department office and advise students within specific majors within that department.

FACULTY ADVISORS are generally

located throughout the college. These advisors are faculty members who are knowledgeable about the curriculum and mentor people within their field of study.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR ADVISING APPOINTMENT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT • Find your enrollment date, based on credit hours earned, at registrar.okstate.edu/registration_enrollment. • Make an advising appointment early in the semester. To make your appointment, visit registrar.okstate.edu/academic_advising.html . • Review your degree requirements sheet, located at okstate.edu. • Utilize major and career exploration tools at HireOSUgrads.com. • Log in to Self Service at my.okstate.edu and look at available course sections. In addition, review your registration holds under the “Student Profile” section. Registration holds must be cleared before you will be able to enroll. • Think FINISH IN FOUR. Plan on taking 15 hours per semester and/or averaging 30 hours per year. • Create or review your four-year academic plan.

DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT • Review major and minor options with your advisor. • Talk about your four-year academic plan. • Discuss ways to enhance your experience at OSU. Find out about study abroad programs that would work well with your major, scholarships that you can apply for and getting more out of your degree by graduating with honors or distinction. • Ask about any course overrides or special permissions. Your advisor should be able to direct you on how to obtain these.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT • Deliver any necessary paperwork to the Office of the Registrar, 322/324 Student Union. • Keep all the documents from your advising appointment. • Plan out possible schedules based on your conversation with your advisor about courses. • Enroll in courses on myOKSTATE Self Service. Once you have processed your enrollment, print your detailed schedule. • If you need to change your schedule, consult with your academic advisor first. In addition, please refer to the academic calendar for important drop/add/withdraw deadlines. The academic calendar can be found at registrar.okstate.edu.

All federal and campus-based financial aid funds are disbursed to students’ bursar accounts and refunds are issued for any overpayments. The Office of the Bursar generates a monthly electronic billing statement for charges and payments that occurred during the month on a semester timeframe. A new student's first fall billing statement is available on September 1 and the spring bill is on February 1. An electronic billing notification is sent to the student’s university email address when the billing statement is available to view online. Payment is due at the time charges are billed and considered past due after the 15th of the month. A 1.5% finance charge will be assessed to an account for any unpaid balance. It’s the student’s responsibility to verify that university-administered scholarships and waivers, as well as external scholarships, have been credited to their bursar account. Students can view their billing statement and semester account activity, set up authorized users, enroll in a monthly payment plan and pay online via my.okstate.edu by clicking on OSU Stillwater/ Tulsa Bursar Account under Quick Links. Authorized user login is located through the bursar website at bursar.okstate.edu. When students enroll at Oklahoma State University, they agree to pay all charges on their account when due. They also acknowledge that failure to make the required payment by the due date will result in the possibility of added finance charges, loss of on campus charging privileges, inability to enroll in future semesters and/ or withholding academic transcript or diploma. For additional information, please visit our office Monday through Friday from 9:00–11:30 a.m. and 1:30–4:30 p.m. Please read the full Financial Responsibility Contract online at bursar.okstate.edu/financial-responsibility. Below is a small portion of the contract: • I understand when I register for class at Oklahoma State University or receive any service from Oklahoma State University I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. I further understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement to pay my financial obligation (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)) in which Oklahoma State University is providing me educational services, deferring some or all on my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay all assessed tuition, fees and other associated costs by the published due date).

• I understand and agree if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule at Oklahoma State University, available at okla.st/catalogarchives. I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above. • If I decide to completely withdraw from OSU, I will follow the instructions at okla.st/withdrawing, which I understand and agree are incorporated herein by reference. • I also understand if I enroll in classes or my advisor enrolls me in classes at Oklahoma State University and I do not attend these classes, I am still held responsible to pay the required tuition and fees if I fail to withdraw by the published dates. • I understand and accept I am responsible for all charges on my account, including parking permits, parking fines, athletic tickets, health service charges, student store charges, etc. as well as educational expenses. • I understand OSU uses an email notification as its official billing method when my billing statement is available to view online and I am responsible for viewing and paying my bursar account by the scheduled due date. I further understand failure to review my billing statement does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my bill on time. Statements are located online through Banner Self-Service at my.okstate.edu. • I understand that administrative, clerical or technical billing errors do not absolve me of my financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees and other associated financial obligations assessed as a result of my registration at OSU. • I understand and agree it is my responsibility to notify my parents/legal guardian of my account balance or set up my parents/legal guardian as an authorized user to access my statement through the authorized user link located on the bursar website.

The following are also available on the Bursar website:

Parent and Student Guide The parent and student guide link is available on the bursar’s home page to better understand policy and processes regarding tuition/fees, payment plan, billing statements, etc.

Direct Deposits Refunds All financial aid is applied toward the student’s bursar account balance and a refund (if any) is calculated after taking into account semester charges on the account at the time of the refund program calculation. Bursar account credits resulting from a credit card payment are refunded back to the credit card, not the student. Direct deposit refunds are scheduled every working day and should be deposited into your bank account within two to three business days depending on the bank. Login to my.okstate.edu, then: • Click OSU Stillwater/Tulsa Bursar Account under Quick Links. • Click on My Payment Profile. • Enter in Banking Information and click box under Refund Options. • Set as preferred payment method. • Click Send Code – Passcode will be sent for Two-Step Verification. • Click Save. Learn more at bursar.okstate.edu/refunds.

Payment Plan Set up a semester-based monthly payment plan. The first payment is due at the time of enrollment. No finance charges or enrollment holds are associated with the payment plan if payments are made as promised. Learn more at bursar.okstate.edu/ payment-option-plan.

Title IV Authorization Students must authorize federal aid to cover all student expenses. Title IV financial aid is federally funded aid such as Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loans and Federal Parent Direct Loan. The U.S. Department of Education requires OSU to obtain authorization to pay all charges on your bursar account for the current semester or up to $200 from prior year (spring/summer charges are not allowed to be paid by fall federal Title IV aid). Learn more about Title IV Authorization at okla.st/finaid-authorization.

Third-Party Billing The Bursar's Office assists with questions concerning thirdparty billing to a student’s sponsor (for example, the Bureau of Indian Affairs or a parent’s place of employment, etc.) and nonOSU scholarship checks from outside agencies or schools (such as the Lions Club, Rotary Club, etc.). Scholarships are posted in the semester received. Please complete the form at bursar.okstate.edu, under forms (at the bottom), to authorize us to bill a third-party sponsor.

PRIVACY REGULATIONS – FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS TO PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) Federal law limits the information the university may provide regarding OSU students. The bursar account is in the student’s name and information regarding an account may only be issued directly to the student. However, students can add their parents as an authorized user via my.okstate.edu by clicking on OSU Stillwater/ Tulsa Bursar Account under Quick Links to discuss bursar account information. For additional information regarding grades or financial aid, the student can add them as a proxy through the student portal. For more information, visit registrar.okstate.edu/ferpa.

TUITION AND FEES The Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents determines official tuition and fee rates during the summer prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Visit the bursar website for the tuition and fee estimator calculation. Your actual costs will vary according to your class schedule. Federal regulations require the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to include tuition/fees, housing and meals (average of on-campus and off-campus costs), books/supplies, transportation and other miscellaneous costs into the cost of education when determining eligibility for financial aid. You may spend more or less than these average estimates.

BLOCK RATE INFORMATION Oklahoma State University is committed to providing accessible and affordable higher education for our students. Our desire is to help students shorten the time to degree completion and assist with financial budgeting. OSU’s block rate includes tuition and universitywide fees for students taking 12 to 18 credit hours. For additional information, visit blockrate.okstate.edu.

ROTC PROGRAMS ARMY ROTC 311 Thatcher | 405-744-2055 armyrotc@okstate.edu | rotc.okstate.edu The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (Army ROTC) at Okahoma State University provides an educational training program that develops leaders and future U.S. Army officers as they complete their degrees. Army ROTC is the primary source of commissioning for officers in the active army and its reserve components (National Guard and the Army Reserve). It is a program that, in cooperation with universities, trains and commissions the future leadership of the U.S. Army. During the first two years of ROTC classes, students incur no military commitment. The four-year program is divided into two courses. The first is the basic course (freshmen/sophomores). It is open to any student at any college level with no military obligation. The second is the advanced course, which requires specific criteria to enroll (juniors/seniors). Students entering their freshman or sophomore years can enroll in Army ROTC and petition for in-state status while actively attending and participating in Army ROTC. The OSU Army ROTC push-up board has been a tradition during OSU football games since 1997. Cadets conduct push-ups every time OSU scores. It's not unusual for the OSU Army Cowboy Battalion to complete as many as 1,500 push-ups throughout the season. The OSU Army ROTC Battalion fires a 75 mm pack howitzer cannon every time the OSU football team scores. This tradition has been around the stadium since 1953. The cannon itself weighs in excess of 1,500 lbs.

AIR FORCE ROTC 320 Thatcher | 405-744-7744 afrotc@okstate.edu | afrotc.okstate.edu Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is an outstanding opportunity to commission as an Air Force officer. Through this program, you will make the most of your college experience. You will hone your time-management skills, analytical skills and physical fitness. It will not be easy. However, if you are up to the challenge, the rewards will last a lifetime! At the completion of this program, you will commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force. From there you will have the opportunity to see the world and lead people in diverse career fields, including pilot, navigator, doctor, lawyer, logistician, space or nuclear operations and many more. No matter your degree or life ambitions, there may be a place for you in the United States Air Force.

Study Abroad and National Student Exchange STUDY ABROAD AND NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE 242 Student Union | 405-744-8569 abroad@okstate.edu | abroad.okstate.edu Study abroad participation is not a luxury for a small group of elite students but a necessity in training Oklahoma State students to compete and succeed in the 21st century. Students of all majors, level of study and financial backgrounds are able to study abroad. By studying in another culture, you can gain a new perspective, improve your professional potential and enhance your overall college experience. The OSU Study Abroad and National Student Exchange office coordinates a variety of academic programs, both international and domestic, that help OSU students connect with the world. In addition to the shortterm, faculty-led programs offered through each academic college, OSU students may also study abroad for a summer, semester or full academic year. Students can even apply to live in the Global Scholars House Living Learning Program (LLP) located in the recently renovated Iba Hall. The LLP fosters intercultural communication through floor activities and events throughout the year.

Benefits of Study Abroad: • Gain a global perspective. • Enhance your career prospects. • Explore new ideas and interests. • Sharpen your analytical skills. • Expand your horizons. • Learn or improve language skills.

"Having the opportunity to participate in the National Student Exchange was an experience of a lifetime. While being on a beautiful island, I was able to not only take courses that pertained to my Marketing major, but also courses unique to the University of Hawaii. I would recommend NSE to any student who has a heart for exploring and is looking to learn outside their comfort zone." Madison Heavener | Marketing & International Business National Student Exchange in Hawaii

"Not only did I get to experience the culture and discover the rich history of France, I was also able to learn about the problems engineers face in different parts of the world and how they apply technology to come up with solutions. This course sparked my interest in other cultures and reinforced my passion for STEM."

Madison Heavener (left)

Javier Lopez | Mechanical Engineering Study Abroad in France

“I spent the summer interning with an NGO that is dedicated to protecting natural spaces and also incorporating them into urban landscapes. Their environmental projects include reforestation, urban greening and environmental conservation. The internship provided me the opportunity to gain real-life experience, something I can't get from reading a textbook. The international component of the internship provided me with invaluable insights into other cultures and allowed me to reflect on my interactions with others and the importance of communication. The skills and experience I gained interning in South Africa will benefit me and contribute to my future professional endeavors.”

“Upon reflection, it seems obvious to me that my semester exchange with the National Student Exchange program was an instrumental turning point in my college and professional career. In the semesters before exchange, I was a high-achieving, albeit slightly lost, student with multiple major changes. During the exchange, I felt a growing connection back to my home university in fact, I became interested in all the resources and student leader opportunities that my home university offered. After my return, I grew confident in my skills in public speaking, educational programming, and working under pressure. I've used those skills extensively in the years since.” Lucas McCamon | University Studies National Student Exchange in Alaska

BEING

on CAMPUS

First things to do:

RESLIFE Welcome, Students and Families! Thank you for choosing Oklahoma State University. This can be an exciting time, as well as a time of anxiety. I want you to know the Department of Housing and Residential Life is committed to providing a safe and positive living-learning environment. OSU offers many opportunities for students to be involved within the campus community. Our residential community educators, assistant residential community educators and community mentors serve as catalysts in connecting students to co-curricular opportunities. Research has indicated that if students are actively engaged outside of the classroom, they increase their chances of performing well academically and have an overall higher level of satisfaction. We also staff our facilities 24 hours a day to assist students with both routine concerns and emergency situations. Our mission is to provide safe, affordable and well-maintained residential communities, which encourage individuals to value learning, respect diversity, act responsibly, promote service and foster engagement. In addition, we provide outstanding service and a commitment to student safety. You should never hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns regarding our facilities and services. Thank you, Leon McClinton, Jr., Ph.D. Director, Housing and Residential Life

HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL LIFE 100 Iba Hall | 405-744-5592 reslife@okstate.edu | reslife.okstate.edu More than 6,000 students call the OSU campus home. At OSU, the residence halls are more than just places to sleep and eat. They are exciting, active communities that promote personal and academic well-being. Twenty-six residence halls, more than 30 dining options and seven family-first apartment neighborhoods fit every need and budget.

Living Away From Home Statistically, students who live on campus are more involved, graduate earlier and make better grades than students who live off campus. There is always something to do, people to meet and experiences to share. Preparing to live in the residence halls can be very exciting and somewhat stressful. You can go to the Housing & Residential Life website to find all the information you’ll need to know about moving into the halls and living on campus.

Applying for Housing If you applied early, you may have already selected your room for the coming year. Congratulations — you’ve completed the housing process! If you’ve applied for housing and haven’t selected your room, please complete the housing registration and select a room as soon as possible. You can complete the registration at okla.st/2FoSBbA.

Moving In The residence hall move-in dates for fall are August 8-11. You will be assigned a time based on your group and hall. Talk to your roommate(s) as you prepare to move to OSU. Discuss who is bringing what, so you can all lighten your loads. Who really needs three microwaves? If you live within a few hours of campus, you might consider bringing your personal items in shifts. Do you really need all of your sweatshirts in August? When you arrive on move-in day, there will be campus volunteers to assist in unloading your car and helping you to the halls. There will be carts and dollies to help, but you might want to bring your own as supplies are limited. For more details and a packing checklist, please visit reslife.okstate.edu.

Housing Styles and Rates OSU offers attractive and convenient housing on campus, with options to meet every lifestyle and budget. There are three styles of housing to choose from: community-style halls, suites and apartments. All bills are covered in the room rent including electricity, water, sewer, expanded basic cable television, streaming cable television, internet access via high speed Ethernet and WiFi. Please check the Housing and Residential Life website for current housing rates at reslife.okstate.edu.

Living Learning Programs (LLPs) Housing and Residential Life offers many different Living Learning Programs (LLPs) and special interest housing options on campus. These communities provide a great opportunity to live with other students that share your interests and may take classes with you. By living in a community that strives to connect academics and residential life, students are ensuring that they will become connected to campus right away. To find the LLP that best fits you, visit okla.st/LLPs.

The group continues to provide information to the administration regarding the need for day care on the OSU campus. NTSO officers are proud to advocate for nontraditional students in general or, if a specific issue arises, for a student.

Welcome to OSU! We are proud that you are a part of the OSU community and look forward to seeing what type of positive impact you will have. The University is filled with people who care about you and your success. The Division of Student Affairs is here to empower you to develop and succeed through transformative experiences, services, and support. We seek every day to live out our values of collaboration, community, inclusivity, accountability, integrity and excellence. Those values are embodied in our student population, of which you are now a part. During your journey here I encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities that we have for you to engage with the University, to learn about others different than yourself and find your passion in life. To do this I would suggest getting involved in one or more student organizations, participating in your living group (through the Residence Hall Association, Off-Campus Student Association, or Fraternity and Sorority Affairs), consider an on-campus job and participate in staying emotionally and physically well. Engaging with OSU you will find opportunities for leadership, learning new life skills, expanding your critical thinking and advancing your intercultural and global fluency all with the purpose to prepare you for life after college. Finally, as a student, you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning. Mental health concerns, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, difficulty concentrating or a lack of motivation, can lead to diminished academic performance and/or feelings of distress. Whatever your need, the OSU community is here for you and wants to provide resources to best support your needs. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Student Support and Conduct and the Basic Needs Resource Center are all available to you. You can also access mental health and overall wellness resources to help navigate college life. Congratulations on being an Oklahoma State Cowboy! Go Pokes! Dr. Douglas A.

COWBOY

Since you play a critical role in helping your students succeed, I encourage you to look through this Guidebook to review resources that could help you or your student. For example, if you notice your student struggling financially or needs assistance with planning a budget, encourage them to reach out to the Office of First Year Success. Or if you notice your student feeling homesick or is having trouble meeting friends, encourage them to reach out to either University Counseling Center or Leadership and Campus Life or even their Community Mentor in their Residence Hall. Most importantly, if your student is struggling with classes, encourage them to reach out to their academic advisor or have them utilize the LASSO Tutoring Center, the Math Learning Success Center or the Writing Center. If at any time, you or your student needs assistance, you can contact us at 405-744-3636 or newstudents@okstate.edu. We are here for you every step of the way. Sincerely, Palvih Bhana, M.Ed Assistant Director, First Year Success Family Support

OSU'S PARENTS ASSOCIATION 211F Student Union | 405-744-5406 parents.okstate.edu OSU's Cowboy Parents serves as your liaison office to the university. Cowboy Parents' mission is to enhance communication between OSU and the family members of OSU students, empower families to play a supporting role in the education of their children, provide families a forum for networking with other OSU families and give them an active role in promoting OSU's excellence.

FAMILIES

Dear Cowboy Families, I'd like to offer my advice to you about your student's new start at OSU in three parts. First, trust that you've done a good job raising your child and that the values and skills that you've instilled in them will continue to serve them well as they enter adulthood. Of course, you can still be available for a face-to-face visit, but if you let go a little bit more each day and support them from a distance with a phone call, text or letter, you'll be amazed at how well they manage their lives using your solid foundation and their own wits. Second, remember yourself as an 18-year-old and reflect on the joy you felt when you did something on your own for the first time. Yes, mistakes will be made; they're some of the best teachers that young adults will ever have. College students' lives literally unfold before them day-by-day and can be exciting and scary. Your reassurance that they can and will achieve their goals, even when they make mistakes, is very important to them.

FAMILY WEEKENDS Family Weekends are fun-filled weekends that give students the opportunity to invite their parents to join them on campus. It brings students and family members together for a weekend of fun, fellowship and recognition that includes activities to benefit the family and the university community. The fall Family Weekend has a focus on dads (known as Dad's Day) and includes a home football game. The spring Family Weekend has a focus on moms (known as Mom's Day) and includes Spring Sing and other related events. All parents, however, are welcome at both events.

Finally, remember the goals you've always wanted to achieve and start writing the next chapters in your own life. This is a time for new beginnings for everyone, so take advantage of the extra time you may find yourself with to start or restart your own college career, travel, volunteer in your community or find a new hobby. After all, why should your student have all the fun? Congratulations! I hope to see you all on Family Weekends! Fran Gragg Assistant Director, Campus Life

MAKING THE TRANSITION PARENTS/GUESTS CHECKLIST Choosing to attend college is a big decision, one that some students don’t always make for themselves. For many, college is the next logical step. For others, the decision is life-changing, especially if the student is a first-generation college student. The bottom line is that there is no “typical” college student, and no matter their background, there will be transitions ahead.

SUPPORTING YOUR STUDENT Transitions are not limited to the first few weeks. While no list is all-inclusive, the following are a few areas you may want to consider when talking with your student throughout the year.

August

Freshmen generally experience an overall excitement, along with feelings of being homesick, initial roommate worries, abuse of freedom, multiple calls, visits home and other changes. Transfer students will be adjusting to a new academic system and may also be facing their first time away from home. Most financial aid and scholarships pay to their Bursar account the first week of fall semester.

September

The first bursar bill is issued Sept. 1. Financial planning coaches are available for guidance on personal finances. In addition, the first set of tests generally come in the fourth or fifth week of each semester. Other concerns can be possible roommate challenges, finding ways to get involved with student groups and initiating friendships.

October

Six-week grades for freshman- and sophomore-level courses are posted. Some may experience the results of poor time management related to school work. There may be issues with fitting in and establishing an identity. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the upcoming year opens Oct. 1.

November

Fall illnesses, tests and papers due, enrollment for the next semester, apprehension and excitement about going home or not for Thanksgiving and family holiday traditions can cause anxiety.

December

Finals week, last projects, money issues, as well as more mixed feelings about going home for winter break and family traditions might be of concern.

January

It’s a new semester! Decisions and adjustments regarding fall semester performance will need to be made.

February

Some students may be upset about Valentine’s Day, some miss home, some are relieved to be back at school and some just want winter to end.

March

Spring break, making choices for the next school year, such as deciding to keep current majors or consider new ones, midterms, summer employment or internships may mean stress.

April

As spring returns, the end of the semester is coming fast. Questions of “Am I in the right place? Am I heading in the right direction?” become apparent.

May

Final exams, last-minute summer planning, choosing to stay or go home, feeling upset about leaving friends, overwhelmed that the first year at OSU is over, wondering if they accomplished what was attempted can all cause questions.

Some common concerns for all incoming students include:

We believe the best way you can help your students is to:

• Separation issues

• Listen to their fears.

• Independence

• Help them take initiative.

• Degree choice

• Be aware of campus resources.

• Career questions

• Send notes/care packages.

• Study skills

• Avoid “taking care of everything.”

• Time management

• Stay open and positive.

• Making friends

• Encourage them to connect with an upperclassman, staff member, faculty member or other mentor.

• Understanding the OSU system • Staying healthy

• Encourage your student to visit the Office of First Year Success for support.

DISCOURAGEMENT ISSUES

MONEY ISSUES

Area of Concern

The first time your student comes home, they seem a little withdrawn, surprising you because every conversation about school has been OK. You chalk it up to getting a handle on college life. On Sunday, before your student leaves for school, they finally tell you that it hasn’t felt like a fit, classes are difficult, and they aren’t sure that college is right. Your student is unhappy with their major choice, doesn’t feel connected with new friends and isn’t enjoying college life in general.

Considerations

What kind of expectations did your student have about college? Was this more difficult than they expected? Did your student know their reasons for attending? Do they have an idea of what they want to do following college, or do they even see the need for college in the future? Is your student’s health OK? If your student has ever seen a counselor for related issues, this might be a good time to revisit that relationship in the college setting. Sometimes having a third party to talk with is just what a student needs to discover a more objective approach to a situation. OSU counselors are skilled at recognizing transitional issues and helping students address them at appropriate levels, often using campus resources geared specifically for these situations. Not only is your student transitioning to college, but they are also transitioning to adulthood. The pressure grows on students to know what they want. Make sure your student knows you’re available to talk and that you understand this is a big step for anyone. Also, encourage them to seek help from academic advisors or other campus resources such as those listed below. Who can help? • Academic advisors (pg. 84).

Your student asks you to send more money because they have exceeded the limit on their bursar account and their meal plan is maxed out. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, and you can’t understand why your student is out of money.

Considerations

What kind of expectations have you discussed regarding spending? Is your student’s meal plan enough? Do they realize how much they are spending? Have they ever had a charge card? Are they letting others eat on their meal plan? Before your student arrives for school, determine who pays for the various expenses ahead. Parking tickets? Dinners out? Clothing? What budget is your student expected to follow? How does your student monitor spending on fun things? Does your student need to look into a job to cover spending habits? Have they ever considered taking a job on campus? Has there been a recent family crisis that caused a tightening of the budget? OSU extends charging privileges to students for campusbased services. Bursar accounts must remain current or charging privileges will be revoked. This will not affect meal plans with balances remaining. However, additional money cannot be added if the account is not current. Enrollment holds may also be applied if the student’s bursar account is past due.

TRANSFER STUDENTS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND A COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY The transitional issues of a transfer student depend heavily on the previous environment. Most transfer students enter OSU with anywhere from a semester of credit to two or more years experience at previous institutions. Often, transfer students have been living at home to save money and have had the support of family and many high school friends nearby. If this describes you, your transition to OSU will most likely be similar to that of an incoming freshman, minus the basic concerns about what college courses are like.

At a two-year school: • Living close to family and friends often provides built-in support. • Attendance may have been required. • Community or junior college courses are all lower level (freshman and sophomore). • Smaller campuses have fewer buildings. • Fewer nonacademic involvement opportunities are available.

Attending a comprehensive university: • May be farther from home and existing support network. • Coursework builds on foundational classes from the lower division. • May be a larger campus than previously attended, with resources spread across buildings. • Students may be expected to do more work on their own. • Campus involvement opportunities are everywhere, and over involvement may become an issue. Close attention to time management is needed. • If the student is transferring from freshman- or sophomore-level courses into junior- or senior-level courses, the academic expectations shift greatly.

TRANSFER STUDENT SUCCESS 104 North Classroom | 405-744-9737 transfer.okstate.edu | transferstudentservices@okstate.edu The Oklahoma State University (OSU) Office of Transfer Student Success provides a holistic transfer student experience that assists students as they transition into OSU, helps students prepare for a rewarding academic and student experience and promotes their progress toward graduation and into their desired career field.

Services that we provide students include: • Transition assistance. • Advocacy. • Workshops and seminars. • Mediation of issues or concerns. • Campus resources, guide to appropriate offices. • Transfer Student Organization. • Monthly newsletter. • Social Media, look for @OSUTransferStudentSuccess on Facebook. • Other assistance as needed.

TRANSFER CREDIT AND COURSE PLACEMENT Oklahoma State University, in conjunction with Oklahoma’s other institutions of higher education, has developed transfer guides for academic planning when a student attends more than one school in the state. OSU Transfer Credit Guides are created for institutions from which students frequently transfer. These guides assist students in their plan to begin at one institution with the intention of graduating from another with their bachelor’s degree. Interactive transfer guides that show how your courses transfer to OSU degree plans can be found at okla.st/transfercreditguides. Transfer students should understand that everything will transfer from accredited institutions. However, how it transfers depends on your degree program. For example, if you transfer 60 hours taken toward a psychology degree and then decide you’d like to study engineering instead, chances are you’ll need to go back and take foundational math and science courses before you’ll achieve the academic credit equivalent in the engineering curriculum. Speak first with your academic advisor if you have questions about credits transferring to OSU and/ or how they may be used on your degree plan. Your advisor will explain which courses transfer directly to your degree and which ones don’t. Your advisor will assist you through the process. For additional information regarding how your transfer credits are evaluated, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at transfercrediteval@okstate.edu. For assistance with "Finish Orange" or for other academic support for enrolled transfer students, contact the Office of Transfer Student Success at 405-744-9737.
