Send all documents to Undergraduate Admissions, 101 North Foundation Hall, 2200 North Squirrel Road, Oakland University, Rochester, MI ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR FRESHMAN APPLICANTS Request an official copy of your high school transcript and have it mailed to Undergraduate Admissions. This should be completed by the high school you last attended. Oakland University also requires your official ACT scores for admission. TRANSFER APPLICANTS Request that an official transcript be sent to Undergraduate Admissions from each college or university you have attended. To be considered official, the transcript must be mailed directly to Undergraduate Admissions by the records office of each school and must bear the seal of that institution. If you have earned fewer than 24 semester hours, a high school transcript is also required. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS International applicants may be required to submit additional application materials. POST-BACCALAUREATE APPLICANTS Post-baccalaureate students are those who hold a bachelor s degree and want to take additional courses not related to an additional degree. Under post-baccalaureate status, your previous academic work will not be evaluated by the registrar, and you will be admitted as a non-degree-seeking student. Tuition is assessed at undergraduate upper division rates. Please note that students under this status do not qualify for financial aid. Submit a photocopy of your baccalaureate diploma, or an unofficial transcript stating that you hold a baccalaureate degree, to Undergraduate Admissions. SECOND-DEGREE APPLICANTS Second-degree applicants already hold a bachelor s degree and wish to complete a second bachelor s degree at Oakland University. There are two types of second-degree applicants: If you wish to earn an additional degree in another academic discipline, select Second Degree as your applicant type. Your completed file will be reviewed by the academic department to which you are applying. If you need to complete all the prerequisites for full admission to your new major, select U5 as your applicant type. INITIAL MICHIGAN TEACHER CERTIFICATION APPLICANTS Students who hold a baccalaureate degree or higher and wish to enter Oakland University for the purpose of obtaining an Initial Michigan Provisional Teaching certification should select U1 as their applicant type. ADDITIONAL MAJOR/MINOR APPLICANTS Students holding a bachelor s degree or higher who wish to enter Oakland University for the purpose of obtaining an additional major/minor should select U3 as their applicant type. ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS TO TEACHER CERTIFICATION Students who hold a baccalaureate degree or higher and wish to enter Oakland University for the purpose of adding an undergraduate endorsement to their existing teaching certificate should select U4 as their applicant type. NON-MATRICULATING Non-matriculating status indicates that you are not seeking a degree from Oakland University. Students who have graduated from high school and plan to enroll in another college or university the following fall may take courses under this status. Note that you should consult with your intended college or university about whether Oakland courses will transfer, or whether taking courses prior to fall enrollment will impact your scholarship status. Please call Undergraduate Admissions to determine if this status is right for you. Students who are currently enrolled in high school and who wish to take classes at OU (known as dual enrollment) should not complete an application for undergraduate admission. Please visit oakland.edu/dualenroll to download an application for dual enrollment. Students who already hold a bachelor s degree and who wish to take undergraduate classes at OU should apply as either post-baccalaureate students or second-degree-seeking students (see above). Entering freshmen desiring to take summer courses should select this option.
