Students attending the University of Oklahoma must meet with their academic advisor every semester to have their enrollment hold lifted. Please be advised that specific majors may also require faculty advising before enrollment.
One of the University of Oklahoma’s many objectives is to ensure prospective students with the belief that a college degree is attainable. First-generation students – those whose parents/guardians did not finish a four-year college degree – may often believe that a future promise of education is not afforded to them due to a lack of familial experience. OU has been recognized as one of the more successful higher-education institutes in attracting first-generation students. Recent freshman classes have seen a 25% share of its class be the first in their families to attend college.
