Application for F-1 International Students  

In addition to the academic criteria used by institutions in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education as the basis for student admission, institutions consider the following nonacademic criteria in deciding whether first-time applicants or transfer students should be granted admission:

1) whether applicants have been expelled, suspended, denied admission or denied readmission by any other educational institutions;

2) whether applicants have been convicted of a felony or convicted of any lesser crime involving moral turpitude;

3) whether applicants have conducted themselves in a manner so that if, at the time of such conduct applicants had been students at the institution, their course of conduct would have been grounds for expulsion, suspension, dismissal or denial of readmission at the institution where application is being made,

If any of said criteria should be present, then the institution shall deny admission to applicants if it decides that the happening of any of the events described indicates the applicants' unfitness, at the time of application, to be accepted as students at the institution.

If an applicant is denied admission on any of the foregoing grounds, there must be substantial evidence supporting the basis for denial. In addition, the applicant must be afforded adequate procedural safeguards, including the following:

1. The applicant must be advised of the grounds of the denial;
2. The applicant must be informed of the facts which form the basis of the denial; and,
3. The applicant must be afforded an opportunity to appeal their admission denial before a committee

Seminole State College believes that students proficient in specific areas should have the opportunity to establish college credit through advanced standing examinations. A total of 30 semester hours may be earned through advanced standing exams, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, or the College Board's Advanced Placement Program (APP). Advanced standing is also given for military service evaluating credit by using the American Council on Education publication, A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.

Advanced standing credit will not be posted to the transcript until after a student has earned at least 12 hours of college credit. Information on Advanced Standing can be obtained in the admissions office.

This program allows high school students to take examinations for credit at the college level. High school counselors will assist students with testing arrangements. The following is a list of AP examinations for which SSC awards credit, and the credit awarded for various scores received. AP scores of 1 and 2 are not acceptable for credit. The various courses listed in columns under scores are SSC courses, and the last digit in each course number indicates the number of semester hours earned when a student is awarded credit for the course. All other questions concerning AP exam credit may be addressed to the SSC Chief Academic Officer.
