The combined total of your enrollment at your high school and at the University of Oklahoma may not exceed 19 semester hours without special permission.
For this purpose, the University will assume that any high school course enrollment is the equivalent of 3 semester hours. As an example, if you will be enrolled in two high school courses in your last high school semester, you could enroll in up to 13 semester hours of coursework at the University. You may enroll in a maximum of 9 semester hours during a summer session without being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer term.
OU courses completed under Concurrent Enrollment will count as regular college credits earned at the University of Oklahoma. There is a General Education Planner for the University of Oklahoma that will assist you in planning what courses you will take that will satisfy your 40 hour general education program requirement.
Yes. You will be enrolled, examined, and evaluated in the same manner as any other student in the course.
Concurrent Enrollment students are most of the time limited to the times they can take OU CE classes due to their high school schedules and travel time. Most Concurrent Enrollment students pick morning or afternoon courses so that you will either come to OU at the beginning of the day or end your day here.
Most OU classes meet regularly either three times a week on Monday (M), Wednesday (W), Friday (F) OR twice a week on Tuesday (T) and Thursday (R). Classes start at 7:30 and end by 5:45 each day

Although you are still a high school student while enrolled in Concurrent Enrollment, when you take a college class you are expected to perform like a college student. The most important thing to remember is that you are responsible for yourself. You may be used to teachers checking in on and reminding you to turn in major assignments and late work. In college, your professor will expect you to keep track of your progress and seek help when needed. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Tuition Payment:
The University of Oklahoma bills tuition, mandatory, and course-related fees by semester/term. Student Financial Services provides monthly eBills, sent to students’ official OU e-mail address, on the first of every month detailing charges and payments that occurred during the prior month. The student account charges that are billed on the first of each month are due by the 25th day of the month the statement was generated.
The student eBill is posted online at one.ou.edu. The student needs his/her student username and password to login to One. To view the eBill or make payments online, students will click on the Pay Bill quick-link located on the home page of one.ou.edu.
Oklahoma Seniors:
Eligible Oklahoma high school seniors will receive a tuition waiver for up to 18 credit hours their senior year. This waiver is typically applied to eligible student accounts following the add/drop period of each semester. If a student has questions regarding the status of his/her waiver, he/she may contact Student Financial Services at 405-325-9000.
Should a student wish to allow parent or authorized user access, he/she can authorize users to access his/her Bursar account to make payment:
Authorized user(s) will receive two e-mail confirmations:
When an authorized user has accessed the account, he/she will use the Bill Pay link under Authorized User Bill Pay, to make payments. The student may authorize as many users as he/she wishes. Each user has access to view their own Bursar activity only.
For additional questions, please refer to Student Financial Services at sfc@ou.edu, or 405-325-9000.
Online Course Success Strategies
In many ways an online course functions in a similar way to a traditional on campus course. There are, however, differences between how the two operate that can affect a student’s success in a course. It is helpful to be aware of strategies that can help you to be more successful in an online classroom.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is important for all students. For more information about Academic Integrity at the University of Oklahoma view the Students Guide to Academic Integrity at OU.
