The following is a step-by-step guide for completing Oklahoma Christian University's international student admission process for undergraduate studies.
Please complete each step below as soon as possible for priority consideration. You may email documents to your international admissions counselor.
1. APPLICATION
Complete an admission application at oc.edu/apply.
2. PROOF OF ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
International applicants must send official, original English proficiency test scores. OC accepts the following minimum English proficiency test scores:
- TOEFL - 61 iBT (500 pBT) - ETS School Code: 6086
- IELTS - 6.0
- Duolingo English Test* (https://englishtest.duolingo.com/) - 85+
*The current COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in widespread English testing center closures in impacted regions. In response to this global crisis, OC will now temporarily accept Duolingo English Test (DET) results from Spring and Fall 2021 applicants who are unable to take the TOEFL or IELTS due to exam cancellations.
3. TRANSCRIPTS
Submit transcripts (grade reports) for all high school and university studies, as well as original, official diplomas, certificates and national examination results. All educational documents must be in English or sent with an official English translation.
4. STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
Send a signed Statement of Understanding which describes the rules and expectations of an international student at Oklahoma Christian University.
5. PASSPORT
Email a copy of your passport photo page.
6. FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS
- Send bank statements or letters showing a total balance of at least $33,290 USD (the estimated cost per year, to live and study full time at Oklahoma Christian University). Confirmed OC scholarships may also count toward proof for this total amount.
- Submit a completed Financial Worksheet.
- Affidavit of Support
TRANSFER STUDENTS, EMAIL ADDITIONAL IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS
- Your most recent I-94 (Your I-94 card may be retrieved at https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home#section)
- All previous I-20's
- OC SEVIS Transfer Release Form, signed by the transfer student, and completed and sent by the university which holds the student's current SEVIS record.
Please note that students must hold legal status in the United States to be eligible for admission.
After the above admission requirements have been received and evaluated, OC may issue a final admission letter and I-20. The admission letter and I-20 will be sent to admitted students along with F-1 visa instructions.
Next steps for all admitted students

(Note, if you waive an immunization and there is an outbreak you could be asked to leave campus.) To add immunization records, go to myOC and search "Immunizations" and complete the questions listed or click this link.
- First-time international students (freshmen) are not required to submit SAT or ACT test scores for admission to OC. However, students may qualify for OC scholarships by submitting a minimum SAT or ACT test score. Students who don't submit a minimum SAT or ACT test score may be enrolled in remedial classes. Please contact your international admission counselor for more information.
