Transfer+email

Dear ,

I am the counselor who handles your paperwork, and I recently received your information from the OU Admissions office. First, allow me to welcome you to OU and to Price College. To get you started on the right path toward your B.B.A., here is a checklist for you to follow as you prepare for your first semester. //Please print this message// or //the attached New Student Checklist and bring it with you to your advising appointment//.


 * __ What to do __**:

□ **Make an advising appointment**: v You must be advised in the Price Academic Advising Services office prior to enrolling for your first semester at OU. An advisement stop has been placed on your record. You may meet with any counselor who has an opening that fits your schedule. Please [|make an appointment] on our web site. If you have any trouble, please call the receptionist for assistance.

□ **Arrange to take the math placement exam before you meet with an advisor**: v You will take the [|math placement test] at the Assessment Center in Wagner Hall (next door to Price). Please pay special attention to their walk-in hours during the summer and call to confirm prior to traveling to campus. Please utilize all study materials listed on this site to prepare for your exam. Your preparation could save you time and money by enabling you to place into a higher level math course. //The math placement test is required prior to enrollment in MATH courses and ECON courses, unless you have already completed Calculus I (the equivalent to OU’s MATH 1823 or MATH 1743).//


 * __ What to bring __**:

□ **Please bring official final copies of your transcripts from your previous school(s).** v The OU Admissions office will ultimately load your courses and grades to your OU record, but we may need this information during your appointment to correctly advise you on your remaining degree requirements.

□ **If you have your materials from previous transfer courses, please bring the course syllabi to your appointment**. v For any courses that were not equated to OU requirements, you may submit a course syllabus for departmental review (this is what your instructor gave you at the beginning of the course to indicate assignments, grading, text books used, etc.). The course description is generally not sufficient for course equivalency.


 * __ What you need to know __**:


 * To see how your transfer courses apply, please visit the [|Transfer Equivalency Tables].
 * If you attended a school that is not listed here, we will explain how your courses apply to OU requirements during your advising appointment.


 * You may also view your **transcript**, which reflects the OU equivalencies for your transfer courses, by visiting [|oZONE], your portal to all OU services.
 * After logging in, go to your “Academics” tab and click on the __Transcript__ link under your //Academic Profile//.
 * If you need help with your 4+4 and password, please visit the [|OU IT web site].


 * During your appointment, we will explain how to use [|Degree Navigator] to view your progress toward completing your degree.
 * You may want to familiarize yourself with it before your appointment. After you log in, click on the audit button to view your graduation report.


 * Admission into the 3000 and 4000 level business courses is based on a competitive entry process. To achieve **“Degree Candidacy,”**you will need to do very well in your courses.
 * Please familiarize yourself with the [|Degree Candidacy] process, including the pre-requisites, application process, and GPA standards prior to your appointment.


 * You will be required to maintain a 2.50 in both your OU and Combined overall **grade point averages**in order to remain in Price College.
 * If you fall below this GPA minimum, you will be placed on academic contract and will be in danger of being stopped out of the college.
 * Please keep in mind that if this is the first time you have attended OU, you are entering with a blank slate for your OU grade point average. //You can make it as ugly or as pretty as you decide. We recommend pretty//.
 * Learn to use the [|Academic Calendar] to keep track of the deadlines to add or drop courses each semester.


 * You must complete **Calculus II**(MATH 2123 or MATH 2423) before you begin upper division business courses.
 * That means that //math must be a priority every semester// until you have completed this requirement.
 * You will not be able to take Calculus II concurrently with your 3000/4000 level business courses (including those in your major).

Here is the link to the [|Campus Map] to help you get acquainted with our campus (you may want to print it and bring it with you).

If you’ve made it this far, you are well on your way to succeeding in Price College. I have attached a Campus Resource guide for your information. If you would like other resources or referrals, just ask your counselor during your advising appointment. We are happy to help! We welcome you to Price and look forward to meeting you very soon. If you have any questions or concerns prior to your appointment, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
