A transfer student is any undergraduate who has attempted more than 6 credit hours, excluding "0-level" courses and pre-college work, such as concurrent hours earned in high school.
 

To transfer to USAO from another Oklahoma State System Institution, a student must fulfill one of the following criteria:

Depending on the status of the individual student, other requirements may be pertinent. All transfer students should consult the Admissions' Office for information.

A student transferring from another Oklahoma System institution must be in good standing at that institution. If a student has earned fewer than 24 credit hours, the Registrar will require a high school transcript or GED, and  ACT scores.

An undergraduate student wishing to transfer from an out-of-state college or university to USAO may do so by meeting the entrance requirements of USAO as outlined above in the transfer criteria and by the following:

Students who do not meet the academic criteria in paragraph 7 above, but have not been formally suspended, may be admitted as transfer probation students.  These students must maintain a 2.0 GPA each trimester while on probation until they raise their retention/graduation GPA to a 2.0 level.  Any transfer student with curriculum deficiencies must remove the deficiencies within the first 12 hours of enrollment.

A maximum of 62 credit hours of junior college coursework may count toward the baccalaureate degree at USAO.

Students who hold associate in arts, associate in science, or baccalaureate degrees and who transfer from accredited junior colleges or four-year colleges or universities of Oklahoma will be considered by USAO as having met all lower-division general education requirements for a baccalaureate degree from USAO.

Teacher education candidates may need to take additional courses in general education to meet the minimum certification requirements as defined by the State, including health and physical education, geography, mathematics, science, or similar additional requirements of other professional fields.

In addition to the general education requirements, specific programs or fields may call for particular GPAs.

Students transferring to USAO without associate or baccalaureate degrees or their equivalents must meet the same general education requirements as first-time entering freshmen.
