General Information
Accreditation
The University of Oklahoma High School is accredited by the Commission on International and Transregional Accreditation (CITA) and the Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA-CASI).The Oklahoma State Department of Education does not recognize NCA-CASI accreditation. Oklahoma State Department of Education policy does allow our courses to be used for high school credit when approved by local school boards. Because colleges in the United States recognize NCA-CASI accreditation, students who graduate from our high school may use their diploma as a credential for admission to colleges and universities around the country.
Department of Defense Policy Concerning Non-traditional High School Diplomas
The Department of Defense classifies diplomas from virtual or distance learning high schools as an alternative certificate. This classification may limit options for those enlisting in the armed forces.
Transfer Credits
OU High School accepts transfer credits from other state and regionally accredited high schools.
Portfolio Credits
Students who have completed five OU High School courses (2.5 Carnegie units) may earn elective credit by portfolio submission. There is an evaluation fee for each portfolio.
