Adult Admissions
Any adult who is 21 years of age or older or on active
military duty and who does not qualify for regular admission to
Southeastern Oklahoma State University may apply for admission
under the Adult Admissions Category.
Any adult seeking admission under this category will be
admitted to the University if the performance standards as set
for new freshman admission have been met.
Any adult not meeting the performance standards for new
freshmen must participate in the American College Testing Program,
the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or a similar battery of tests
(CPT) and be interviewed by the Director of Admissions. If it is
determined that the adult student has a reasonable chance of
academic success, s/he will be admitted to the University.
Any adult considered for admission under this category
will be screened to determine if any basic skills deficiencies
exist. This screening may involve participation in one or more
of the College Placement Tests (CPT) administered by the
University. Any student whose screening results indicate that
skills deficiencies do exist will be required to enroll in a program
designed to remediate those deficiencies.
Special Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students who wish to enroll in courses without intending to
pursue a degree may be permitted to enroll in up to nine credit
hours without submitting academic credentials or meeting the
academic curricular or performance requirements. Once a
student has successfully completed the designated number of
hours, should s/he wish to enroll in additional course work, s/
he is required to meet the formal admission or transfer criteria.
Retention standards will be enforced. Non-degree seeking
students may not enroll in the areas of English, math, history,
or science without showing proficiency in those areas.
Home Study or Non-Recognized Accredited
or Unaccredited High Schools
An individual who is a graduate of a private, parochial,
or other nonpublic high school which is not accredited by a
recognized accrediting agency will be eligible for admission
to Southeastern Oklahoma State University by meeting the
following criteria:
1. Submit an official transcript or document reflecting
graduation.
2. Participate in the ACT or SAT program and achieve
the requisite composite score, as defined by the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (see
New Freshman Admission).
3. The student’s high school class of his or her peers
must have graduated.
4. Satisfy the high school curricular requirements listed
for freshmen, as certified by the school or, for home
study, the parent(s).
Opportunity Admissions/Exceptional
Student
Students who have not graduated from high school whose
composite standard score on the ACT places them at the 99th
percentile of all students using Oklahoma norms, or whose
combined critical reading and math score on the SAT places
them at the 99th percentile of all students using national norms
may apply for full enrollment at Southeastern.
Southeastern will determine admissibility based on test
scores; evaluation of the student’s level of maturity and ability
to function in the adult college environment; and whether the
experience will be in the best interest of students intellectually
and socially.
International Student Admission and
Admission of Non-native Speakers of
English
International students are required to meet equivalent
academic performance standards as previously listed under
New Freshman Admission. International students transferring
from U.S. universities must be in proper status with the
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Services (US-ICE).
Any F1 visa holder who has been out of school a semester
(other than summer vacation), has been a part-time student,
or is out of status for any other reason must make application
for reinstatement of US-ICE status before being accepted to
study at Southeastern.
Applications for admission should be received in the Office
of Admissions on or before:
June 1 for the Fall Semester
November 1 for the Spring Semester
April 1 for the Summer Session
To allow enough time to apply for the F-1 student visa and
make travel arrangements, it is best to submit complete application
packets by these deadlines. Although application
packets may be received after these dates, applicants who
are not currently in the United States should be aware of the
deadlines for applying for their F-1 visa and plan accordingly
when submitting the application for admission. I-20’s will only
be issued to admissible international students who provide all
required documentation for Southeastern and SEVIS and are
in good status with US-ICE.
