NOTE: Immunization Certification Is A State Law Requirement See The Student Health Center Immunization Link at http://www.ucok.edu/student_health_center/ for more information and forms.

You may be considered for admission as a transfer student if you have completed any coursework at a recognized college or university in the U.S. and around the world. You must meet all applicable requirements for admission of first-time entering students as stated freshman admission. Official transcripts from all previously attended schools are expected before an admission decision can be reached.

You must submit course descriptions and/syllabi to determine how the earned credits may be accepted toward a UCO degree program. The transfer credits are applied to degree programs generally in accordance with the recommendations in the Transfer Credit Practices Guide published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and other guides published by the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA). Therefore, credits from some technical colleges and professional schools may not be applicable toward degree requirements at UCO due to the highly technical or specialized nature o f the credits earned.

Students transferring from junior colleges need to be aware that a minimum of 60 semester hours of coursework applied toward the bachelor's degree programs must be earned at a four years institution.

Notification of Application Status

After receiving your application materials, we will make an admission decision as quickly as possible.
If additional information or documents are required, or your admission is denied for any reason, you will be notified.
While the decision for undergraduate admission will be made by the International Office staff, we must wait for the CGS& & R to determine the academic admissibility of applicants for graduate programs. If accepted for admission, INS form I-20, an acceptance letter and on-campus housing information (if you have indicated interest on the application form) will be mailed to you. You may visit the nearest US consular office for your visa.
If accepted for transfer from a U.S. institution, you will receive an acceptance letter only. Due to SEVIS regulations, your I-20 will be issued after your enrollment at UCO.
Due to limited space availability, if you are seriously interested in living on campus, we suggest that you contact the Housing Office and/or submit the housing application and $100 non-refundable application fee as soon as possible.
