Seniors: UCO is hosting two different senior days. I would encourage you to register and attend one if you are interested in UCO. Information and registration link below:
Central Close Up Days: We highly encourage seniors to visit our campus throughout the Fall semester to help familiarize them with Central and answer any questions they may have. Our Central Close Up days will be held on Wednesday, October 9th and Thursday, November 7th. During the event, we will host admission and scholarship sessions, allow students to meet with their department of interest, and provide a campus tour. Registration is free and can be found at https://www.uco.edu/admissions-aid/visit-central/on-campus-events.
JHS students interested in UCO: Automatic Scholarships: A very exciting addition to our Incoming Freshman Scholarships! The UCO application is a joint application, meaning students are applying for both admission AND UCO scholarships upon completion. The formula at the top of our scholarship guide (attached below) helps them view their eligibility for our automatic academic scholarships before even enrolling! Our application deadline is February 3rd, meaning we require the application completed, ACT/SAT official scores and an official High School transcript. Just a reminder, we do not accept transcripts sent via email so please use an official electronic transcript exchange service such as Xap, Parchment, etc. We also accept sealed transcripts via mail or you can send them with your students during their college visits. Get your UCO application completed!
Thoughts and prayers from the Jones Longhorn community to the Lexington Bulldog community! Together we are stronger! #BulldogStrong
