¡Los recoridos por campus en español abrirán en agosto para el semestre de otoño!

Esperamos dar la bienvenida a los estudiantes de la comunidad Latinx y anímelos a visitar OU para ver las oportunidades enriquecedoras que les esperan aquí en OU.

OU ofrece recorridos en español para futuros estudiantes de la escuela secundaria y estudiantes transferidos y sus familias. La experiencia del recorrido por el campus en español durará aproximadamente 2.5 horas. Una vez que llegue al campus, un miembro del personal de OU le dará una breve presentación de admisión en español seguido con un recorrido a pie (3 millas) del campus impartido por un estudiante de OU. ¡Se recomiendan zapatos cómodos! Porfavor revise el clima para Norman, Oklahoma, con tiempo antes de su visita. No te preocupes por una nota de excusa escolar-se incluirá en un correo electrónico después del recorrido. Consulte nuestra página de preguntas frecuentes para obtener más información.

Si tiene preguntas sobre el proceso de admisión y se siente más cómodo hablando con alguien en español, por favor no dude en llamar a nuestra oficina al 405 325 2151. 

Honors Personalized Visits are offered Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the fall and spring, and Mondays and Fridays in the summer.

Students must have a test score of 28 or higher ACT Composite Score OR a 1300 or higher SAT OR a 1300 or higher PSAT total score AND a 3.0 unweighted GPA to register for an Honors Student Personalized Visit. Students who have been admitted to the OU Honors College can also register for a visit.

Honors Personalized Visits are a great way to dive a little deeper into the University of Oklahoma, experience campus life, and meet with faculty and staff.

You will receive a campus tour led by a current OU student tour guide, learn more about the Honors College experience at OU, and connect with the desired programs of your choice. Detailed information about your visit is emailed to you in advance of your visit. 

Space is limited for each visit day and requests are preferred two weeks in advance.

Register for Honors Personalized Visit

We welcome the different perspectives transfer students bring to the OU family. You are classified as a transfer student if you have attended an accredited college or university and have attempted more than six semester hours after high school graduation, excluding remedial (pre-college) work or credit hours accumulated as a concurrently enrolled high school student.

Transfer students are welcome to visit OU anytime. If you would like to meet with an admissions counselor during your campus visit, you can sign up for that within your campus tour registration. We have admissions counselors available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to meet with you. If you have more specific concerns or questions, you are welcome to reach out directly to the transfer admissions team at transfer@ou.edu.

If you are looking for a more tailored experience as a transfer student, register for one of our transfer student campus visits! You'll learn how to successfully transfer to OU, receive transfer scholarship information, engage with your transfer admissions counselor, and have the opportunity to attend an in-depth academic session. 

Fall 2025 dates and registration will be available in early July.

For more information about applying to OU as a transfer student, visit ou.edu/admissions/apply/transfer.
