ADULT ADMISSION General admission requirements apply to all students seeking admission to Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Adult students who are 21 years of age or older or on active military duty who do not meet general admission requirements may be admitted under adult admission criteria. The ACT, SAT or second level assessment scores are required for placement in classes. The class placement listed under Second Level Assessment/Remedial Courses will be used.
SECOND LEVEL ASSESSMENT/REMEDIAL COURSES
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education established an ACT score of 19 as the “first cut” in determining student readiness for college level coursework. When high school GPA is lower than 3.25, students must score 19 or above in the four subject areas of mathematics, English, reading, and science reasoning in order to avoid second level testing and/or remediation. Students who score below 19 on an ACT subtest, and students who do not submit ACT or SAT scores, have the opportunity to complete second level testing. (A grade of “B” or better on the College Career Math Ready high school course also clears the math deficiency.) The course placement test (CPT) is used as a second level test. Students may contact the University Assessment Center for information about testing and remediation information. CPT scores have been established for remedial course placement as follows: CPT TEST SCORE COURSE(S) English (Writing) 200-239 ENGL 0123 Fund. of English followed by: ENGL 1113 Eng. Comp.
