Congratulations on your admission to the University of Oklahoma, and welcome to the class of 2030! The deadline to submit your enrollment deposit is May 1, or within 21 days of your admission, whichever is later. The enrollment deposit is refundable should you officially withdraw your application by May 1. Visit OU Bound to submit your enrollment deposit. A deposit is only required for fall freshman admitted students.
Your OU account is your key to submitting your enrollment deposit and accessing OU resources such as email, enrollment, grades, course materials, computer labs, OU Libraries resources, and more. You will also need to set up your OU account to complete your housing contract. Many OU offices will only communicate with you via your official OU email account. Please check it regularly.
To set up your account, visit one.ou.edu/activate. You'll need your OU Net ID (4 letters and 4 numbers) to create your account. You'll use this to access all things OU!
If you need assistance, please call OU IT at 405-325-4357.
