College Credit through Cooperative Alliance
Agreements
For over a decade, OSU-OKC has been awarding college credit to
Metro Tech adult students through a Cooperative Agreement. OSU-OKC
and Metro Tech are partnering in an Alliance which will allow
high school students to receive college credits as juniors and
seniors while completing Metro Tech programs.
Students participating in Metro Technology Centers programs may
earn college credit from Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City,
and other participating colleges, through cooperative agreements
approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education:
Why apply for college credit? Why not?
It's easy, and...
- Students still in high school can begin earning college credit
toward a degree.
- Admissible students can transfer college credit to any college
or university depending upon the degree program.*
Who is eligible to participate?
- Adult students
- High school students who are:
- in 11th and 12th grades at an accredited high school or
at least 16 years old receiving high school level instruction
at home or from an unaccredited high school
- High school students must also have:
- an ACT score of 19, PLAN score of 15 or a high school
GPA of 2.5
- approval from a high school counselor or recruiter
- written permission from a parent or legal guardian
- met college admission requirements
Once admitted, students must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point
average in their college level courses to remain in good standing.
What degrees are included?
Cooperative Alliance Agreements include the Associates of Applied
Science (AAS) degrees that directly relate to technology center
programs.
Is my degree or certificate transferable to another college
or university?
The receiving college or university to which a student transfers
has the discretion to determine the eligibility of those courses
as applied toward the desired degree plan.
How much credit can a student earn?
Each Metro Tech program varies in the number of courses and
college credit hours that are available.
When is college credit granted?
Credit is awarded by semester upon successful completion of
an approved course.
Who awards the college credit?
OSU-Oklahoma City, and other participating colleges and universities,
award the college credit for courses taught at the technology
centers.
