JHS Seniors interested in UCO: See this information about reduced application fee! Right now, our application for admission fee is only $5! As you may recall, our typical rate is $50, so that’s quite a savings for your students! All your students have to do is use the promo code of “BRONCHOBOUND” when they apply to save $45, and this code is good through April 1st, 2021. We all know how difficult this past year has been, and we’re hoping the temporary lowering of our fees will encourage and motivate your students to consider applying to UCO. As a reminder, we have extended our scholarship deadline to April 1st! To be considered for scholarships, students need to complete the scholarship questions in the online application and submit their high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores.

JHS SENIORS: OSU is now calculating ACT superscores from submitted official test reports for admission and scholarship purposes. ACT plans to implement section retesting and superscoring. However, due to delays, the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education have allowed OSU to calculate superscores for admission and scholarship purposes at this time. This is a temporary policy change and OSU will rely on ACT-provided superscores when they become available.
