WE ARE COWBOYS 2

LIVE BY THE CODE

Hailing from all 50 states and 100 countries, we are united by the Cowboy Code. We end the day knowing we gave it everything we had. We dream as big as the sky. We know challenges come with pain, but pain will not win. We have a passion to do what's right, even when it's hard. We stand for what matters, even if we stand alone. We finish what we start. Being a Cowboy isn't in our clothes, it's in our character.

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 dates 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.

Alma Mater

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. 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.

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.

Bullet and the Spirit Rider

ALMA MATER HYMN LYRICS

Pistol Pete

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).

Orange Fridays

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!

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

The Walk On game day, 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.

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 ira.okstate.edu. Data includes a fiveyear history of student, faculty, research and financial information, as well as tuition/mandatory fee rates.

NAVIGATING your PURPOSE

WHAT’S YOUR “WHY?” Starting college can (and should!) be an exciting and challenging time of your life. There are many new experiences, people, and opportunities awaiting you. It’s a big undertaking, but one in which you’re fully capable of finding success. To take full advantage of this experience, it’s important to understand your drive and motivation in relation to your collegiate journey. Your support people (family, friends, mentors, etc.) can be huge motivators behind the reason you chose to start college, but a deeper, more personal reason will often take you further. We want to help you walk across the stage at graduation, and fully understanding your own personal “Why?” can be a great motivator to accomplish this goal. Think about it. Chat with your family and friends. Take some time to articulate your “Why?” and tell others about your goals and motivations. This allows them to help hold you accountable and provide important nudges along the way.

WORKBOOK

The key to accomplishing your “Why?” is to realize you are never alone and bringing others into your why is your first step on the path to your success.

What’s your “Why?” What motivates or drives you to pursue your degree?

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 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.

HireOSUgrads.com | 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.

CHOOSING your PATH 17

PREPARING FOR ENROLLMENT Whether you have a well-defined degree and career path or you are still deciding your direction, you have an academic advisor to help you with your enrollment each semester.

YOUR FIRST ADVISOR MEETING

WORKBOOK

Each student is assigned an academic advisor. Your academic advisor will talk with you about your interests and academic goals as they help you choose from a list of courses designed for your chosen degree program or interest areas. The more information you provide, the better able your advisor is to help you choose classes that fit your current direction.

What do you want your advisor to know about your interests and direction?

If you already have college level credit from concurrent college work, credit by exam, or other means, you will want to be sure your advisor knows about these credits. 18

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 OR DUAL ENROLLMENT COLLEGE CREDIT

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.

WORKBOOK

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.

List any college level credit you have earned that is already posted to a college transcript.

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.

Your first enrollment at OSU depends on the credits you have already earned, and whether those courses are required for the degree program you are now pursuing. 19

CHOOSING YOUR FIRST OSU CLASSES For most freshmen and students transferring in the freshman year, course choices will primarily consist of general education options and introductory courses for your intended degree program.

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.

REQUIRED GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES (ALL MAJORS): • English Composition I and II (ENGL 1113 and 1213). • American History (HIST 1103 or 1483 or 1492). • American Government (POLS 1113).

You will discuss course choice with your academic advisor. 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 choose the most appropriate courses for your interests and potential degrees, 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. 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 or to use the advanced search features of the course catalog, visit my.okstate.edu.

(A) ANALYTICAL AND QUANTITATIVE THOUGHT

INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION

Courses that ask you to critically analyze and solve problems using quantitative or logical methods receive (A) credit. One of your (A) courses must be a course with the MATH or STAT prefix.

Analyze contemporary cultures outside the United States to understand complex, modern world systems. It’s possible to choose courses that meet both the international dimension and another general education requirement at the same time.

• Business Analytics • Mathematics • Statistics • Philosophical Logic and Critical Thinking

• Geography • History • Religion

(H) HUMANITIES

(D) DIVERSITY

Analyze relationships of ideas and values on historical and/or contemporary cultures. Develop understanding as to how ideas, arts or texts shape identities.

Courses that emphasize the study and analysis of socially constructed groups in the United States. It’s possible to choose courses that meet both the diversity and another general education requirement at the same time.

• American Studies • English Literature and Creative Writing • Fine Arts Appreciation (Theater, Music, Art, Dance) • History • Philosophy • Religion

• American Indian Studies • American Studies • Diversity • English • Gender Studies

Analyze society and explore theoretical structures to understand observations in social and behavioral sciences. • Economics • Human Development and Family Science • Mass Communications • Political Science • Psychology • Sociology • Speech

WORKBOOK

(S) SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES What types of courses sound most interesting to you from the general education lists?

(N) NATURAL SCIENCES AND (L) SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION In Natural Sciences, students analyze the physical world to evaluate problems in biological and physical sciences. They also interpret results and solutions and understand consequences of human intervention in natural processes. Scientific Investigation classes ask students to analyze scientific problems, formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments and interpret results. Some Natural Sciences courses carry the (L) designation, in which students receive lab credit. • Astronomy • Biology • Chemistry • Geography • Geology • Nutrition • Physics • Soil Science

WORKBOOK

When you enroll, you will most likely be able to choose from a few different times for your courses. Some things to consider:

What time of day do you learn best (when are you most awake, alert, and interested in learning?)

Would you like to group your classes one after the other or spread them out for time to rest or study between classes?

What classes would you like to take in a 3 day a week, 50-minute format and which ones would you prefer to take two days a week in a 1 hour 15 minute format?

HOW TO ENROLL ENROLLING FOR YOUR FIRST SEMESTER After you’ve talked with your academic advisor, and had your course list approved, you are ready to enroll. These next steps will walk you through the process.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) Oklahoma State University maintains your academic records in accordance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). This act protects the privacy of student education records and gives students the right to inspect their records. At the elementary and secondary school levels, FERPA gives parents the right to access education records. When a student turns 18 or attends a postsecondary institution, FERPA rights transfer from the parent to the student. At the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights to 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 access to parents or other third parties using the Proxy Access tab in Self-Service. See the Proxy Access website for more information. Students may also add parental access to their Bursar billing information by adding them as an Authorized User at bursar.okstate.edu. Extensive information regarding FERPA rules at OSU is located on our FERPA website at registrar.okstate.edu/ferpa.

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.

Students are expected to: •

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

Behaviors that violate the fundamental values of academic integrity may include but are not limited to: •

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

Admonition — grade reduction and/or resubmission of the assignment for minor, first-time violations.

Level one sanction — grade of “zero” or “F” for the assignment or examination.

LIFE on CAMPUS 47

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 six 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 and 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 Residence hall move-in dates for fall are assigned based on specialty groups and halls. You will receive move-in confirmation prior to your first semester. 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 may 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 housing options to meet every lifestyle and budget. There are three styles of housing to choose from: community-style halls, suites and apartments. Electricity, water, sewer, expanded basic cable television, streaming cable television, internet access via high speed Ethernet and WiFi are covered in room rent. 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 who 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.

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.

Like the OSU Student Government Association, the Off-Campus Student Association develops networks and works to ensure issues related to the off-campus student population are heard.

The OCSA represents the views of its constituents to the university and the community in matters of concern, including, but not limited to:

MAKING THE TRANSITION SUPPORTING YOUR STUDENT 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.

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.

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.

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

First Year Family Insights is a monthly newsletter sent to emails on file for families of first year freshmen. Each newsletter during the fall and spring semesters will focus on specific resources and information to help you encourage and support your student through the typical needs for each month of the freshman year.

Learn more about Title IV Authorization at okla.st/finaid-authorization.

Third-Party Billing The Bursar's Office assists with questions concerning third-party billing to a student’s sponsor (for example, the Bureau of Indian Affairs or a parent’s place of employment, etc.) and non-OSU 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.

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.
