Concurrent Admissions
You're on your way to becoming an official Cowboy.The first step is completing the online OSU application. You may enroll in a maximum of nine credit hours per semester.
Who counts as a concurrent applicant?
Curricular Requirement
OSUIT is now ACT optional, meaning we request ACT/SAT scores; however, they are not required. An ACT subject score of 19 or higher, High School GPA of 2.5 or higher, or an Accuplacer ( Next Gen) score of 250 or higher, is required for enrollment in any subject area for Concurrent Enrollment.
Also, concurrent students may not enroll in remedial (zero-level) coursework offered by colleges and universities and designed to remove high school deficiencies.
Course Workload
A high school student may enroll in a combined number of high school and college level courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester credit hours. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit (excluding non academic courses, such as athletics, band, choir, etc) shall be equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semester credit hours during a summer semester without being enrolled in high school classes during the summer term.

Concurrent students must be able to satisfy all curricular requirements for graduation from high school (including curricular requirements for college admission) no later than the spring semester of their senior year. All concurrent students are required to submit an official High School Transcript and ACT scores if they have taken the ACT/SAT along with the signed Concurrent Application.
