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!
To be admitted as a concurrent student for College in the High School courses:
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.
Exception Note: Due to OU Regents’ policy, an applicant cannot be considered test-optional for concurrent courses that are taught on the Norman High and Norman North campuses.
Once admitted, students will make an advising appointment to get enrolled in classes. Advising appointments can be made at iadvise.ou.edu. Advising appointments will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays during the following advising windows:
Students enrolled in CIHS College Algebra will not be enrolled in a course through OU until spring semester, contingent on passing the first semester prep course.

College in the High School- College Algebra is offered at both Norman and Norman North campuses.

College Algebra is a requirement for all majors at OU. This course also acts as a prerequisite for the majority of other science, economic, and math courses at OU. By enrolling in this class, a student is earning credit and can take higher level courses at an earlier time.
