Before Orientation Day

Submit all official AP scores to the University of Oklahoma from the CollegeBoard website. Submit all official and complete transcripts from your high school and any college or university you have attended, including Concurrent Enrollment courses, once the semester is finished and grades are posted.

Official transcripts should be mailed to:

Office of Admissions & Recruitment
1000 Asp Ave Room 127
Norman OK 73019-4076

For additional information about submitting transcripts contact the Office of Admissions & Recruitment at 405-325-2151 or email oardocuments@ou.edu.

The University of Oklahoma recognizes the hard work students have already completed in their AP courses. In response to COVID-19, the College Board has made modifications to 2020 AP Exams. In order to support our students and their plans for AP credit, OU will continue to award and honor credit based on previous evaluations. For more information on AP Scores, visit OU's Advanced Placement Chart.

Did you apply with self-reported scores on your OU application?

In order to be placed into the right classes at OU during New Sooner Orientation, you must send your official ACT or SAT test scores. Without sending your official test scores for verification, you will be required to complete all three course placement assessments, including math, reading, and English. However, once we have your official scores, depending on your score you may be excused from these assessments, so send your official scores ASAP! Please have your official test score report sent to OU directly from ACT or the CollegeBoard (for SAT).  

Once we receive and review your official scores, your assessment may be canceled (if you've scheduled one), if no longer needed. If you have additional questions regarding assessment, please contact ucac@ou.edu. 

• Math Offer or Assessment
  When registering for your New Sooner Orientation Day, you will either receive a math offer or register for a math assessment:
  
  
  • Math Offer
    Some students will receive a math offer when registering for an Orientation Day. Your math offer will include the most ideal course for you to start in relative to your major based on your high school academic experiences. It is very important you send OU any updated ACT/SAT scores as soon as possible so you can receive your most accurate math offer. You can review your math offer by logging in to your New Sooner Orientation registration confirmation page. Your academic advisor will go over your math offer during your New Sooner Orientation Day.  
    
    For additional information or questions about your math offer or how it relates to major interests, please email ucac@ou.edu or call 405-325-4336.
     
  • Math Assessment
    If you would like to be placed into a higher math course or you did not receive a math offer, you can assess with our ALEKS math assessment. If you have questions about your math offer, the math assessment, Concurrent Enrollment credit, AP/IB exams, or credit from another university, view our math offer FAQ page. 
    
    You will schedule your assessment through your New Sooner Orientation registration. If you need to reschedule your math assessment, visit iadvise.ou.edu/assess.
    
    Please see our math offer FAQ for any questions you may have regarding the math assessment. For additional questions email ucac@ou.edu or call 405-325-4336.

• English Assessment
  Please see additional information regarding the possible need to take the English assessment. Submitting ACT/SAT scores or Concurrent Enrollment transcripts could eliminate the need for this assessment.

• Reading Assessment
  Please see additional information regarding the possible need to take the reading assessment. Submitting ACT/SAT scores or Concurrent Enrollment transcripts could eliminate the need for this assessment.

• Foreign Language Assessment
  Are you interested in studying a foreign language at OU? If so, consider taking a foreign language placement test prior to your Orientation. You can find additional information and sign up for a virtual assessment by completing the Language Study Survey.
  
  You will be able to discuss foreign language courses in more depth during your one-on-one advising appointment during New Sooner Orientation.

In order for your advisor to best prepare for your advising session, it is essential that you complete and submit the brief New Sooner Orientation Questionnaire as soon as possible, but at least three days prior to your Orientation Day.
