Students entering a diploma program must achieve a composite score of 15 or higher on the ACT or a total score of 710 or higher on the SAT. Students may enroll in Oklahoma Baptist College under academic probation with ACT composite scores from 12 to 14 or SAT total scores from 570 to 709. Applicants twenty-five years old or above and transfer students in good standing are exempt.

Applicants who do not take the ACT or SAT before registration may receive permission from the registrar to enroll for one semester, if all other requirements are met. Nevertheless, official ACT or SAT results must be received by OBC&I for the student to remain a second semester. Use Oklahoma Baptist College's ACT college code "3381" or SAT college code "2609" when requesting that test results be sent here. The ACT is given by the registrar each August.

Transfer Students

1. Complete steps 1 through 6 (except 5) above.
2. Request each college or junior college which you have attended to send a complete, official transcript directly to the registrar.

Transfer students must be in good standing (academic, financial, etc.) at previous schools attended. Credit is given for all courses equivalent to courses offered in this catalog and for which a grade of "C" or better was earned. An evaluation of the transfer student's transcript must be made by the appropriate department head and the registrar to determine acceptable credits as well as the student's classification. Transfer students having a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00 (semester basis) in all courses taken at all other schools will be accepted on academic probation. At least thirty (30) credits must be earned in residence at Oklahoma Baptist College to qualify for a diploma from this institution. Correspondence Courses

Transcripts showing successful completion of correspondence courses of any kind are not normally accepted for credit toward the diploma programs. Any request for an exception to this policy must be made in writing to the dean; each exception must be approved by the administration on a one-time basis.

Special Admissions

Recognizing that not all applicants will have educational backgrounds which fit the Oklahoma Baptist College Application for Admission form, the college will consider applications on an individual basis.
