Test Optional

The University of Oklahoma is test-optional, meaning OU does not require applicants to submit standardized test scores. Admissions decisions will still be made for applicants who do not submit test scores. OU allows you to decide if you want your test scores considered in the evaluation of your admission application. When applying for Concurrent Enrollment, the applicant will be asked if they do or do not want standardized test scores used in the evaluation of their application.

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.

Students who are admitted without submitting test scores cannot be guaranteed enrollment or placement in any certain course. Following their admission, test-optional students must take the required assessments through OU to demonstrate college readiness in a particular subject area. Please sign up for your assignments at iadvise.ou.edu/newsooner/concurrent before your advising appointment. 

Course Placement

Meeting admissions eligibility does not guarantee course placements. To enroll in a college course, students must meet the following score requirements in the subject area in which they are enrolling.
