Concurrent Enrollment Admission

Requirements for Home Study or

Unaccredited High School Students

Concurrent students who are receiving instruction at home or from an unaccredited high school must have completed enough high school coursework to be equivalent to an individual who is classified as a junior or senior at an accredited high school and meet the following admissions requirements. • ACTor Pre-ACT (10th Grade), or ACT On-

Campus composite score* of 19; or • SAT or PSAT10 composite score* of 980; or • unweighted high school GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. (NOTE: Under OSUIT’s ACT/SAT

Test Optional Pilot, home study or unaccredited high school students applying to OSUIT for admission in the current academic year may submit a qualifying unweighted high school GPA in place of

ACT, Pre-ACT, SAT or PSAT 10 scores.) * The ACT composite score is calculated as the composite score without the writing component. Students may utilize ACT On-

Campus test scores to fulfill concurrent enrollment admission requirements.

Students may only take the ACT On-

Campus exam once each year, from

November 1 to September 30. The SAT composite score combines the evidencebased reading and math scores without the writing component. (NOTE: Under OSUIT’s ACT/SAT Test

Optional Pilot, participation in ACT and/or

SAT testing is not required but is encouraged for high school students applying to OSUIT for concurrent enrollment in the current academic year.)

Course Enrollment Requirements for Home

Study or Unaccredited High School

Students

Concurrent students are eligible for enrollment in discipline-specific courses after demonstrating academic proficiency in the subject area (English [Writing], Mathematics,

Reading, and Science Reasoning). Students may demonstrate academic proficiency through one of the following placement measures. 1. ACT, Pre-ACT(10th Grade), or ACT On-

Campus subject score of 19 or above 2. SAT or PSAT10 subject scores of 510 or above 3. Next-Generation ACCUPLACER scores at or above the minimum required score on each component as listed below Reading 250 Writing or WritePlacer 250 or 5 Arithmetic 250 Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics (QAS) 250

Concurrent students may not enroll in traditional or corequisite developmental (zerolevel) coursework offered by colleges and universities and designed to remove high school deficiencies. Concurrent students may enroll in general education courses, technical courses, or a combination thereof.

Course Workload for Concurrent High School Students

A high school student may not exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester credit hours through enrollment in a combination of high school and college-level courses each semester. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semester credit hours of collegiate coursework during a summer semester without also being enrolled in high school classes during the summer term. For the purpose of calculating workload, one-half of a high school unit is equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work. Non-academic high school units are excluded from the workload calculation. Students wishing to exceed these limits may request an enrollment exception.

Continuing Enrollment

High school students concurrently enrolled in college courses may continue concurrent enrollment in subsequent semesters if they achieve an overall (cumulative) college GPA of 2.0 or above. Therefore, a concurrent student who fails to achieve the requisite 2.0 college GPA shall not be eligible for concurrent enrollment at any State System institution. Additionally, if a concurrent student’s college GPA falls within a range that requires they be placed on academic probation, the academic probationary status shall be notated on the academic transcript. Following high school graduation, a student who has been concurrently enrolled as a high school student may be admitted to the original institution of concurrent enrollment or another institution in the State System if the student meets the college or university’s entrance requirements, including the high school curriculum requirements, and subject to the State Regents’ retention standards.

NON-ACADEMIC CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION

In addition to the academic criteria used by institutions in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education as the basis for student admission, the OSUIT Nonacademic Admissions Committee (NAC) shall consider the following non-academic criteria in deciding whether a firsttime applicant or a transfer student shall be granted admission. 1. Whether an applicant has been dismissed, expelled, suspended, denied admission or readmission, or is facing current disciplinary charges at any college, university, school, or other educational institution. 2. Whether an applicant has been charged or convicted for any felony in any state or country. 3. Whether an applicant has been charged or convicted for any behavior involving drugs (e.g., marijuana, any controlled substance) or violence (e.g., murder, sexual assault), or harm to others (e.g., stalking, domestic violence, assaults) in any state or country. 4. Whether an applicant’s conduct has been such that if, at the time of the conduct in question, the applicant had been a student at the institution to which application is made, the course of conduct would have been grounds for expulsion, suspension, dismissal or denial of readmission. If the NAC finds that an applicant has any of the above, then the committee shall deny admission to the applicant if it decides that any of the events indicate the applicant’s unfitness, at the time of application, to be a student at the institution to which application is made. The NAC may also: • admit the applicant; • admit the applicant with restrictions and/or conditions; • classify the applicant as Pending; • defer the applicant’s admission application for a specified period of time; • void an admission that was obtained through fraud or omission; or • place a hold on the ability of a student to register until specified conditions are met. In making its determinations, the NAC should look to the following criteria. • behavior • indicia of recidivist tendencies (including how recently the applicant engaged in misconduct) • potential for rehabilitation • contrition • potential for educational success • ability to conform to college expectations • letters of recommendation • investigation or interview findings • falsification of the application, omission, or delivery of partial records
