Class Application and Admission Procedures
On this page you will find information about the application
and registration procedures for your OSLEP class.
Application
Procedures
Students must apply to participate in an OSLEP class. The minimum
requirements are a 3.0 cumulative GPA, with an academic standing
of sophomore or above. The application package consists of a completed
application form, an essay, a copy of your transcript, and a recommendation
from a faculty member who is familiar with your academic work.
Each class is taken 3 credit hours. Applications are reviewed
by the OSLEP office and students are selected on the basis of
their academic and leadership qualifications, major area of study,
and preference of scholar/topic. To apply:
- Get an application and a reference form from the OSLEP office,
your OSLEP Campus Coordinator (see Campus
Network), or by clicking the application forms link above.
APPLY EARLY. Indicate on your application the order of your
scholar preferences. Although you may apply for more than one
class, you might not get in more than one, so mark your first
choice first.
- Fill out the application and return it to the OSLEP office
along with a copy of your transcript (a student copy is acceptable)
and your essay. Please notify the OSLEP office of any change
of address or telephone number. If you have a work number where
we can call you, please include it on your application.
- Give the reference form to a faculty member familiar with
your academic work to complete and send to the OSLEP office.

ADMISSION PROCESS
As soon as your application is complete, we will let you know whether you've been admitted and what you need to do next. We will also send your
admission packet, which provides details about the class and assignments,
to your campus coordinator.
Assignments vary from class to class, but typically include reading
and questions to be submitted at the first class period, and at
least one paper. Assignments are designed and graded by a faculty
member who works with the scholar. All classes require reading
in advance. Complete details will be provided with your admission
letter.

DATES OF ADMISSION &
NOTIFICATION
The earlier you apply, the earlier we will let you know whether
you will be admitted. We want to admit you to an OSLEP class during
pre-enrollment, so that you can include the hours in your course
load for the coming semester.
Our "back-up" admission date is eight weeks prior to
the first day of the class. Our absolute last-minute "are-there-any-spaces-left?"
admission date is three weeks prior to the first day of the class.
Wait List: If you apply after a class is filled you may go on
a wait list. There is no particular order to the wait list. When
there is a vacancy in a class, we evaluate all applications.
