For Parents

At Oklahoma Christian University, we understand college is a family affair.  As the parent of a prospective or future student, you are intimately involved in your child's college decision making process.  And as the parent of a current OC student, you continue to mentor, guide, and encourage your child.

We hope you'll find the resources available on our website helpful.  Below you'll find links of interest for parents of prospective and current OC students.
