ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
REQUIREMENTS FOR A STUDENT TO BE FULLY ACCEPTED FOR ENROLLMENT
1. Submit a complete application. 2. Submit a $30 non-refundable application fee. 3. Provide official high school transcripts (or equivalent). 4. Provide official college transcripts if a transfer student, or if dual credit hours earned in high school. 5. Provide ACT/SAT score report. 6. Provide two references: Employer/Teacher and Minister/Church Leader. 7. Meet the character standards or other related issues according to normal OCC policy as stated in the catalog and Student Life Handbook (occ.edu/slh). Application deadlines are as follows: Fall semester: August 5 Spring semester: January 5 Only students who have been fully accepted can enroll, attend classes and/or live in the residence halls. The Admissions personnel will do everything possible to assist prospective students in completing their files and moving them to full acceptance status. When all necessary application materials have been received and approved by the Admissions Office, notification of your acceptance as a student at OCC will be communicated through OCC’s student portal (my.occ.edu) and mail. Please do not consider yourself accepted and admitted to Ozark Christian College until you receive such notification from the Admissions Office. Ozark Christian College admits students (who otherwise meet admission requirements) of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the college. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs. There are occasions when high school dual credit students and transfer students may be delayed in obtaining final college transcripts because classes are still “in progress.” Such a student may be considered for conditional acceptance if all other admission requirements are met. “Conditional acceptance” means that Ozark Christian College has made the determination that the student is academically admissible based on the student’s available academic record(s) and all other required admissions documents. Once the final college transcripts is received the status of “conditional acceptance” will be changed to “accepted,” making the student eligible to be housed, enroll for classes and to receive both institutional and federal financial aid. No student will be permitted to enter any course for credit more than one week after the beginning of the course. Advisors are appointed to counsel students in selection and arrangement of their courses.
ADMISSION OF FRESHMAN STUDENTS
Admissions requirements are subject to change without notice. The application procedure is outlined as follows: 1. Complete an application on the student portal at my.occ.edu by clicking on the “Admissions” tab, or submit the application via occ.edu/freshman by August 5 for the fall semester and January 5 for the spring semester. 2. Submit the application fee of $30. 3. Electronic reference forms are available through my.occ.edu or occ.edu/freshman. Reference forms must be received in the admissions office from your employer/teacher and minister/church leader. People not related to the applicant are to complete the reference forms. 4. Ozark Christian College participates in the American College Testing program (ACT) and requires the submission of their test scores. This test is given six times per year in all parts of the U.S. and some foreign countries. Registration information for the test may be obtained from your high school guidance counselor or directly from ACT (actstudent.org). A fee is required with each test application, which must be submitted in advance of the test date. Test results are sent to the college designated on the test registration. Our college code number is 2279. SAT test scores are also accepted (provided the “reasoning” test is taken). ACT/SAT scores will be waived for students who are over the age of 25 or who have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree from another institution.
