Campus Session Descriptions

Explore the world while you are still enrolled at the University of Oklahoma! Studying abroad provides an opportunity to discover new cultures, broaden your perspective, and gain a competitive edge in a globalized workforce. About 25% of OU students engage with global opportunities all over the world throughout their academic career. Immerse yourself in unique experiences, forge lifelong relationships and develop invaluable skills that will shape your future - without disrupting your academic and financial goals. Register for this session to learn more about where you can go!

Part of your academic journey and success is having a plan in place to pay for college. Our MidFirst MoneyCoaches are here to help you. During this time, you will receive information on FERPA, billing, bursar, scholarship requirements, and helpful tips. After, our MidFirst MoneyCoaches will walk you and your family through your individual financial success plan and how to utilize this free tool! This is a great time to ask questions and secure your plan, as a family, for paying for OU.

During this time students will be welcomed to their academic college, meet with academic advisors, and get enrolled for their first semester of classes at OU. Our team of advisors will review your final high school transcripts, concurrent/dual work, AP/IB/CLEP courses and help advise you for the courses you need in your first semester as you work toward degree completion. These advisors are equipped to help guide you toward your academic goals, help curate a schedule, and assist you. At the end of this appointment, you will walk away with your first semester class schedule.

Guests are not allowed to attend this appointment and will have specific programming during this time while students are getting advised and enrolled. It is imperative students prepare accordingly by bringing final transcripts, scores, and completing any required assessments PRIOR to NSO.

At OU, we recognize that a student’s success is contingent not only upon them, but their community. And more often than not, that starts with their supporters, family, and guardians. In this session you’ll hear from our Director of Parent & Family Programs, Tracy Carlson, on the ins and outs of supporting for your student at OU.

Additionally, we will host a Q&A with campus partners to talk about housing, advising, health care, and other resources for your students. Parents and families will have the opportunity to learn about the resources, best practices, and events related to their new student and transition to OU. Whether your student is a first-generation college goer or a fifth generation Sooner, it’s important to know when, where and how to best communicate and assist in navigating your student’s tenure at their new home - the University of Oklahoma.
