OU Concurrent Enrollment has partnered with Norman Public Schools to bring some of our courses directly to Norman High School and Norman North High School classrooms with College in the High School. Students can have the experience of being in an OU classroom without ever having to leave their high school campus!

Be a high school junior or senior and
Have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA
At least 19 ACT or Pre ACT/ 510 SAT or PSAT 10 sub scores in the subject area a student wishes to enroll.

Review the OU Concurrent Enrollment website and get in touch with your High School Counselor at Norman High and Norman North.
CIHS College Algebra is offered at both Norman and Norman North campuses. The fall semester is a prep math class, this means students will not earn college credit for this specific semester. Students must pass the fall semester course, be an admitted OU student and successfully pass the math assessment to enroll in the spring semester. This semester is when college credit is earned for College Algebra.
CIHS English is offered at both Norman and Norman North campuses. Students will take Composition 1 during the fall semester and Composition 2 during the spring semester. College credit will be earned for both semesters.
Norman Public Schools students can choose between College in the High School courses, online courses, and in-person courses offered on the OU Norman campus.
If a student meets the prerequisites for the courses they are interested in, they are eligible to enroll in them. (Cost may vary depending on course types. Review estimated costs.)
OU even has online courses that are fee waived, which means with the tuition waiver that senior students are eligible for up to 18 hours, these courses are completely FREE seniors! Find more info about our featured courses.
College in the High School courses are offered at a reduced rate of half the fee rate ($40 per credit hour) and tuition for Juniors. The tuition waiver will apply toward CIHS courses so Seniors will only be responsible for the reduced fee rate.
If taking CIHS classes, you won’t need to re-enroll after the first semester. We will enroll you in the second semester of the course based on passing the first semester of the course.
If taking online or on-campus courses, make an advising appointment to get enrolled. If enrolling in classes for Fall semester, appointments will open towards the end of March. If enrolling in classes for Spring and Summer semesters, appointments will open mid October
No matter the type of course you are taking be sure to send in an updated Concurrent Recommendation Form (pdf) before enrolling in classes for the next semester.
