Admission to Graduate College (see also the Graduate College admission criteria page)
Inquiries related to graduate admission, including requests for an application and informational material, should be directed to the Graduate College, University of Oklahoma, 1000 Asp Avenue, Norman, OK 73019-4075, (405) 325-3811; FAX (405) 325-5346; e-mail: gradinfo@ou.edu.
Completed applications and official transcripts should be submitted to the Office of Admissions. Although the Graduate College does not require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the college endorses the use of the GRE as one useful measure of a student's potential for success in graduate school. Many academic programs do require the GRE or other supporting materials, such as GMAT scores and/or letters of recommendation, before considering applications for admission. Students seeking admission in full standing must meet the admission requirements of the department or program unit offering the desired degree program, as well as the requirements established by the Graduate College. Students should consult with the graduate liaison in the department to which they are seeking admission concerning department or program requirements. Information about graduate assistantships is also available from the departments.
Applications cannot be considered until all required materials have been submitted. The final decision on admission to the Graduate College is made by the graduate dean. To be eligible for enrollment, the student must have been admitted to the University and to the Graduate College before the registration period ends for any given semester.
Applicants seeking admission to graduate programs offered on the Norman campus should observe the following deadlines for submission of completed applications. (International student deadlines in parentheses.)
- Fall Semester-June 1 (April 1)
- Spring Semester-November 1 (September 1)
- Summer Session-April 1 (February 1)
Certain graduate programs have earlier deadlines. All applicants are strongly urged to contact the programs to which they are seeking admission for the application deadlines of those programs.
An application-processing fee must accompany the application of all students who seek admission or readmission to the University.
The Office of Admissions has charge of all matters pertaining to general admission to the University. Admission and enrollment in the Graduate College is governed by the graduate dean. Except for those in unclassified status, the student must be recommended for admission by a department or program. All admissions to the Graduate College require that the student hold a baccalaureate degree or equivalent from an accredited college or university. However, undergraduates in their final semester at accredited colleges and universities may apply for admission to the Graduate College.
A prospective student must register for courses at the University of Oklahoma for the term of admission to retain active status. The student is subject to the regulations applicable during his/her first term of enrollment so long as continuous enrollments are maintained.
