Undergraduate Admission Requirements

At Southeastern Oklahoma State University, we review each completed application through our holistic admission process to determine a student’s academic preparation.  We consider every application individually and in relation to the admission factors for the University, including high school GPA, ACT or SAT scores, and rank in class.

Students have the option to apply to Southeastern without consideration of a test score.  Currently, consideration for most university scholarships requires an official test score from the ACT or SAT, and we strongly encourage students to provide us with their test scores during the application process for scholarship consideration.

Any student not meeting the performance or curricular requirements for admission to Southeastern Oklahoma State University will automatically be considered for admission under the Alternative Admission category.

A student who has earned no more than six hours of college-level credit after graduation from high school (this excludes credits earned concurrently with high school enrollment and credits earned by examination) or has earned a GED.
