ISE Graduate Students:
Welcome to the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. This information will guide you through the process of obtaining your graduate degree.
Check-in with OU ISS
You are required by law to check in with OU ISS (International Student Services), at 640 Parringtn Oval, B.C. Wallace Old Science Hall, Roo, 200, upon arrival in Norman. Bring your passport, I-20 or DS 2019, and I-94 card. Failure to report to OU ISS may result in cancellation of your immigration status and cancellation of your enrollment at OU.
Attend Orientation
You are required to attend one of the New International Student Orientations held prior to the first day of class. Make every effort to arrive in advance of the semester start date.
For additional questions, please contact the ISS office directly.
The Sooner OneCard office is located in the Oklahoma Memorial Union, Room 127. A driver’s license, military ID card or passport must be presented. The cost of the initial and any replacement student ID card is $15. The card is valid for the entire period that the student attends OU. The OneCard has many uses, including as an all-purpose campus identification; a library card for the campus library system; facilities entrance for campus events and services; and obtaining discounts at area merchants. For additional information about the Sooner OneCard, click here.
Students needing to obtain an Oklahoma Driver’s License or ID card should contact the Department of Public Safety’s Norman exam site, located at 430 N. Berry Rd. The phone number is (405) 364-9595; the hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. Information about Oklahoma driver’s license requirements and an online copy of the driver’s license manual are available at: http://www.dps.state.ok.us/dls/
To assure timely and efficient communication, all OU students, faculty and staff are assigned an OU e-mail account. Official university communications will be sent to this account. E-mail sent to this account is expected to be read in a timely fashion.
Faculty and staff assume that a student’s official university e-mail is a valid mechanism for communicating with that student. Account holders who choose to have e-mail forwarded to other E-mail addresses do so at their own risk. An account holder’s failure to read, in a timely manner, official university communications sent to an official e-mail account does not absolve the account holder from knowing and complying with the content of the official communication (http://catalog.ou.edu/current —access "Policies" link at bottom of blue panel).
E-mail accounts: The Exchange e-mail system, which can be accessed at http://exchange.ou.edu).
Finding OU e-mail addresses:
You can locate e-mail addresses for all OU faculty and staff and most students online at http://search.ou.edu.
Your e-mail alias and "dotted name": When your OU e-mail account is first created, it is in a format called the "dotted name" address. It looks like this: Jane.Q.Student-1@ou.edu. The "dotted name" address is valid as long as you are at OU, but it can be long and inconvenient; you can create a shorter, personalized e-mail "alias" at this website: http://account.ou.edu. As you decide on an e-mail alias, you should remember that it is something that will appear on your job resume and in other professional contexts.
OU Student Webspace: OU students can activate their personal OU webspace at http://account.ou.edu. To browse other OU student Web pages, go to http://students.ou.edu.
If you require additional information, please visit OU’s IT website at: https://webapps.ou.edu/it/students/services.cfm.
The OU Office of Information Technology requires that all devices be registered prior to utilizing a wired or wireless connection. For more information click here.
The Graduate College offers semiannual Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training, typically at the start of the fall and spring semesters. The framework for this training is unique. Rather than focusing on rules and principles, it looks at how people try to make sense of ethical issues. The training seeks to provide graduate students across all disciplines with realistic, work-based strategies for identifying and resolving complex ethical dilemmas.
Details on RCR Training can be found at the Graduate College website.
