*These scores are reviewed

The
completion of the 15 high school curricular requirements shall not be required
of concurrently enrolled high school students for purposes of provisional
admission. Students may only enroll in curricular areas where curricular
requirements have been met by achieving a minimum ACT sub-score in the
discipline for which the student would like to enroll. Enrollment is limited to
areas in which the student meets the minimum ACT sub-scores. Concurrently
admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in any college or
university zero-level courses designed to remove high school deficiencies.
A
high school student admitted under the provisions set forth may enroll in a
combined number of high school
and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of
19 semester-credit-hours. For purposes of calculating workload, one high school
credit course shall be equivalent to three semester credit hours of college
work.
A
student who is eligible under this policy may enroll in a maximum of nine
semester hours during a summer session or term following the end of his or her
junior year of high school, without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled
in high school classes during the summer term.
Following
high school graduation, such a student may continue his or her enrollment at RSU
or may transfer to another institution
in the State System, if during the provisional enrollment period he/she achieves a
college grade-point average of 2.00 or above on a 4.00 scale and meets the
entrance requirements of the receiving institution, including the high school
curricular requirements.
Auditing
Courses
Audit
status is used for the student not interested in obtaining a course grade, but
who is enrolled simply to gain course information. The allowable time to change
an enrollment status from audit to credit or credit to audit is within the first
ten class days of a regular semester and within the first five days of the
summer semester. A grade of “AU” will be issued and is GPA-neutral.
Financial Aid will not be awarded for classes that are taken for audit. Written
permission from the instructor of the class must be presented at the time of
registration.
Tuition
will be waived, but fees are required, for residents of Oklahoma who are 65
years of age or older who wish to audit courses at Rogers State University.
Auditing a course is contingent upon space available in the classroom or
laboratory. Written permission from the instructor of the class must be
presented at the time of registration.
