Petition for Oklahoma Residency

Residency Requirements
Preference is given to applicants from Oklahoma.  Non-U.S. citizens who do not have a permanent resident visa (“green card”) at the time of application cannot be considered for admission.

To qualify for Oklahoma residency, a student must be a lawful resident of the U.S. and meet one of the following two requirements:

Non-independent Students: A non-independent student must have at least one parent, stepparent, or court-appointed guardian who is an Oklahoma resident.  Additionally, this individual must have claimed the student as a dependent on his/her federal income tax return for the previous year. Independent Students: An independent student must have lived in Oklahoma, some capacity other than as a full-time student at a post-secondary institution, for a period of least twelve continuous months prior to matriculation.
