Want to try out college before leaving high school? Consider signing up for concurrent enrollment. If you're in 11th or 12th grade, you may be eligible to take credit bearing college courses while still in high school. Visit the Admission Requirements page to find out what you need to become a concurrent student. After that, head to the Course Placement page to see the scores required for enrolling in specific classes.

High school seniors who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive tuition waivers for up to 18 credit hours and high school juniors can receive tuition waivers up to 9 credit hours, subject to available funding.

Early College High School Programs

Early College High School (ECHS) programs are partnerships between individual high schools and local colleges and universities to provide the opportunity for high school students to earn a meaningful college credential, such as an associate degree or academic certificate, while completing their high school curriculum.

Not all Oklahoma high schools have ECHS programs and for those that do, programs vary greatly. Admission to ECHS programs depends on the individual program, and typically requires application between the 8th and 10th grade years. Contact your high school counselor or partner institutions to learn more about a specific ECHS program. You may also email Angel Icenhour, Director of Concurrent Enrollment Programs, at aicenhour@osrhe.edu for general inquiries about ECHS programs in the state.
