  • 3 UNITS--Mathematics (from algebra I, algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, math analysis, pre-calculus statistics and probability (must have completed geometry and algebra II) calculus, Advanced Placement Statistics)

  • 3 UNITS--Lab Science (Biology, chemistry, physics or any lab science certified by the school district; General Science with or without a lab may not be used to meet this requirement)

  • 2 UNITS--Additional units of subjects previously listed or selected from: computer science, foreign language, any Advanced Placement course, psychology, sociology, or any liberal arts and sciences course (as defined in the Undergraduate Degree Requirements in the OSRHE policy) taken via concurrent enrollment at a State System institution that is not being utilized to fulfill any area previously listed.

In addition ot the above requirements, the following subjects are recommended for college preparation:

  • 2 ADDITIONAL UNITS--Fine arts - music, art, drama, and speech

  • 1 ADDITIONAL UNIT--Lab science (as described above)

  • 1 ADDITIONAL UNIT--Mathematics (as described above)

  • 4 Recommended Units

Students under 21 years of age and lacking curricular requirements are admissible into Associate in Arts and Associate in Science programs, but must remove the deficiencies by one of the following:

  • Demonstrated competency through the National ACT or secondary assessment. 天美影视 State College uses the Accuplacer test for secondary assessment. These tests must have been taken within the last three years.

  • Successful completion of transitional courses (0-level courses) within the first 24 credit hours attempted. Students who are not successful in removing deficiencies within the first 24 credit hours attempted need academic advisor approval to continue taking courses. Reasons for the exception to remediation policy are annually submitted to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

These requirements are also applicable to students in Associate in Applied Science programs with the provision that if collegiate level work in a particular discipline is not required in the degree program, the student is exempt from removing the high school curricular requirement deficiency. Students admitted to AAS programs may not transfer into AA or AS programs without first completing the high school curricular deficiencies.

Individual National ACT sub-scores in English, Math and Science must be 19 or higher in order for students to be eligible to take college level courses in those areas. The Reading National ACT sub-score must be 19 or higher to take college level courses in other areas. Results of the Residual ACT or Pre-ACT may be used only to admit and enroll concurrent high school students.

Students scoring less than 19 in the above National ACT sub-score areas may take a secondary test (the ACCUPLACER) to demonstrate readiness for college level courses. Students who score less than the minimum cut score on the ACCUPLACER will be required to successfully complete zero level courses to remediate skill deficiencies within the first 24 credit hours attempted.

The ACT/SAT or Accuplacer results must be within three years.

A retention grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.00 is required for graduation from 天美影视 State College. A student who fails to meet the following requirements will be placed on academic probation:

Hours Attempted: 0-29
Retention GPA: 1.7

Hours Attempted: Greater than 29
Retention GPA: 2.0

Students with 29 or fewer credit hours, with a retention GPA of 1.7 to less than 2.0 will be placed on academic notice.

Any student not maintaining satisfactory progress toward their academic objective as indicated above will be placed on probation for one semester. At the end of that probationary semester, the student must have a semester retention GPA of 2.0, not to include activity or performance courses or meet the minimum retention GPA standard required above, in order to continue as a student. Students not meeting either of these criteria will be immediately suspended and may not be readmitted until one regular semester (Fall or Spring) has elapsed.

Students suspended in the Spring semester may attend the Summer session immediately following Spring suspension at the discretion of the Admission Appeals Committee. Such students may enroll only in core academic courses, which meet general education requirements or degree requirements. Students who fail to achieve retention standards after the appealed Summer session will remain on suspension with the phrase 鈥渟uspension continued鈥 entered on the transcript and may not be readmitted until one regular semester (Fall or Spring) has elapsed. This option is only eligible for first-time suspension students.

A student may appeal academic suspension for immediate reinstatement to the Admissions and Appeals Committee by submitting a written request to the Admissions and Registrar Office. The written appeal must document extraordinary personal circumstances. Students whose appeals are denied and other suspended students may, after one regular semester (Fall or Spring), petition the Admissions Appeals Committee for readmission on probation. Students readmitted on academic probation must maintain a 2.0 retention GPA each semester or meet the minimum standard required as listed or be suspended again.

Should a reinstated student be suspended a second time, he/she cannot return to MSC until such time as he/she has demonstrated, by attending another institution and completing a minimum of 12 collegiate hours, the ability to succeed academically by raising his/her retention GPA to the retention standards.

Any acceptances of admission for students who have been placed on academic probation or academic suspension, either at MSC or another college or university are re-admitted on academic probation. Students admitted on academic probation must meet the minimum retention requirement or be academically suspended.

This minimum requirement is either

  • the next semester鈥檚 retention GPA of 2.0 or

  • 1.7 retention GPA with 0-29 hours attempted or

  • 2.0 retention GPA with 30 or more hours attempted.

Students admitted on academic probation must meet the minimum retention requirement or be academically suspended.

天美影视 State College takes into consideration the following nonacademic criteria in admitting first-time or transfer students:

  • Whether applicants have been expelled, suspended, denied admission or re-admission by any other college or university.

  • Whether applicants have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving violence or drug abuse (see Criminal Activity Disclosure).

MSC reserves the right to refuse admission or re-admission to any applicant who does not comply with admissions requirements or when evidence exists that the applicant would be incompatible with the aims and objectives of the College or when in the judgment of the MSC Officials, the applicant鈥檚 presence on campus would not be in the best interest of the applicant or MSC. Applicants who are denied admission may make a written appeal to the Admissions and Appeal Committee by submitting a letter of appeal with documentation (if applicable) to the Registrar Office.

天美影视 State College is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the College community. 天美影视 State requires applicants with felony convictions or harmful behavior to disclose this information. Criminal history won't necessarily bar admission but does require review.

Full disclosure is vital for admission. Omitting details may result in denial. Explanation, location, dates, and court outcome must be provided. Proof must be submitted to the Registrar. Authorization to access criminal records is required.

Violent and sexual convictions will be reviewed by committee. Denied students can appeal with written documentation.

Transfer students must provide official transcripts (institutional and military) from all prior colleges.

A military transcript transfer guide assists veterans in understanding the process of converting military training and experience into college credit. It addresses transfer policies and offers guidance for a smoother transition.

For validating a Service Member鈥檚 military experience and training with corresponding ACE college credit recommendations, refer to the following websites:
