Opportunities for undocumented students

Some undocumented students think they can’t go to college or university. However, there are no federal or state laws that stop undocumented immigrants from being admitted to universities. No laws require students to show proof of citizenship to enroll. Still, different schools have their own rules about admitting undocumented students.

OSU and OSU-Tulsa welcome undocumented students as a part of the Cowboy family and will help you apply for admission.

"I'm here for you"

Choosing the right college is a major decision, but you can help. Encourage your loved one to talk to advisors and staff who can guide them through the process, from applying to college to financial aid and enrolling for classes.
