Transfer Admission Requirements

Transfer Admission Requirements

We welcome the different perspectives transfer students bring to the OU family and encourage you to continue your academic career as a Sooner. 

OU’s academic community provides incomparable learning opportunities that will prepare you for success. We offer more than 170 degree programs, and our state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge research opportunities, and innovative academic environment set us apart from other universities.


Assured admission

Assured admission is offered to transfer students who meet one of the following requirements: 

  • a minimum of a 2.5 GPA and at least 24 non-remedial credit hours 
  • completion of an Associates of Arts or Associates of Science at an accredited Oklahoma community college

Some academic colleges may require a higher GPA for transfer admission.

The Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education requires a 2.75 GPA for transfer admission. Students with over 60 earned hours may be eligible for admission to select academic programs with below a 2.5 GPA. Contact your admissions counselor for additional information at transfer@ou.edu.


Please note that transfer students with fewer than 24 non-remedial credit hours must meet their specific academic college’s transfer GPA requirement AND the admission requirements for direct from high school students.  

If your GPA is under the requirement for your academic college of interest, contact your admissions counselor to talk about options.
