How to apply:
All students who have taken any college coursework since the summer after finishing high school are considered a transfer applicant. The Office of Admissions will review your application file once we have received all required parts of your application. Admission decisions are made on a continuous or “rolling” basis.

2. Submitting Required Documents
Official transcripts
Transcripts must be submitted from all colleges and universities that you have previously attended. Transfer students with 29 or fewer hours of transferable credit must submit an official high school transcript to Oklahoma City University in order to be considered for admission.
To be considered official, the transcript must be sent directly from the school. We do not accept scanned copies of transcripts. OCU accepts secure electronic transcripts from several reputable companies. Please use [email protected] when asking the school to send the transcript to OCU via an electronic transcript service. Transcripts may also be mailed to:
Oklahoma City University
Attn: Office of Admissions
2501 North Blackwelder Ave
Oklahoma City, OK 73106
AP or CLEP Scores
If an AP or CLEP score appears on your transcript, you are required to send the official score report to the Office of the Registrar prior to enrollment.
ACT/SAT Scores (optional)
Applicants are not required to submit test scores for admission to OCU but may if they prefer to include them with their application.
In order to be official, ACT scores must be sent directly from ACT (OCU ACT code is 3416). Similarly, SAT scores must be sent directly from the College Board (OCU SAT code is 6543). Test scores included on a student's high school transcript are also official.

For Students who Require a Student Visa to Study in the United States
Please check with OCU International Admissions for instructions on how to apply to OCU.
For Students who are US Citizens, Permanent Residents, or Do Not Require a Student Visa to Study in the United States
Be sure to read all of the application information in the above drop down. In order to best serve students with foreign transcripts, OCU directly evaluates all college or university coursework taken outside the US. We do NOT require students to submit a WES evaluation or to provide any other report from a credit evaluation service.
Students should submit official copies (and official English translations, if needed) of their foreign transcripts to their transfer counselor.
The OCU International Admissions Office will then evaluate all credits submitted and provide that evaluation to the Undergraduate Admissions Office and any other unit at the University that requires them. If a student has questions or concerns about submitting these documents, they should contact their Transfer Counselor.
Be sure to read all of the application information in the Application Instructions drop down. Students with prior or current military experience should also request that their Joint Services Transcripts or Air University/Community College of the Air Force transcript be sent directly to OCU Admissions. Military transcripts are required for determining transfer credits, evaluating admissibility to the university, and processing VA Educational benefits.
Military transcripts can be sent to:
Oklahoma City University
Attn: Office of Admissions

Oklahoma City, OK 73106
