Concurrent Enrollment

Who counts as a concurrent applicant?

If you are currently enrolled in high school and interested in earning college credit during your junior and/or senior years of high school, you may apply as concurrent student.

Estimated Costs for Concurrent Enrollment

Some courses have additional fees charged, see the Academic Service Fees chart for actual cost.

* Each high school junior who meets the eligibility requirements for concurrent enrollment shall be entitled to receive a tuition waiver equivalent to the amount of resident tuition for a maximum of nine (9) credit hours in their junior year. Each high school senior who meets the eligibility requirements for concurrent enrollment shall be entitled to receive a tuition waiver equivalent to the amount of resident tuition for a maximum eighteen (18) credit hours in their senior year.

+For full term or first-half courses only.

Credit hours are determined by the amount of class time required. At OSUIT the fourth number of the course number denotes the credit hour. For example: ENGL1113 is 3 credit hours and BIOL1114 is 4 credit hours.

Concurrent students must be able to satisfy all curricular requirements for graduation from high school (including curricular requirements for college admission) no later than the spring semester of their senior year. All concurrent students are required to submit an official High School Transcript and ACT scores if they have taken the ACT/SAT along with the signed Concurrent Application. OSUIT is now ACT/SAT optional, meaning we are requesting these scores; however, they are not required for admittance. 

Juniors and Seniors:	Minimum composite score of 19 ACT or 900 SAT OR have a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale AND ACT subject test must have a 19 or higher or a High School GPA of 2.5 or higher for placement into courses.

 

Admission Requirements

High School Juniors and Seniors

An eleventh or twelfth grade student enrolled in an accredited high school may, if the student meets the requirements set forth by OSRHE, be admitted provisionally as a special student. The ACT score is the composite score without the writing component. The SAT score is the combined critical reading and math scores without the writing component. Minimum standards for OSUIT are ACT/SAT at 42nd percentile OR High School GPA 3.0. Classification of Junior begins the summer after the sophomore year is completed.  Classification of Senior begins the summer after the junior year is completed.

Home Study or Unaccredited High School Students

Concurrent students who are receiving instruction at home or from an unaccredited high school must have completed enough high school credits to be classified as a junior or senior and meet the ACT/SAT requirements for high school juniors and seniors as listed above. A home school student cannot qualify for concurrent enrollment based on GPA.
