Students are only allowed to earn up to 36 semester hours of credit through AP, IB, OSSM, Rogers College High School, and Union High School credit which is the maximum amount TU allows to be earned through credit by examination and/or equivalency courses at the high school level.
Below is a list of equivalencies that have been approved for certain high school work done at Union High School or the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics.
OKLAHOMA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS
The College of Engineering & Natural Sciences faculty approved the following OSSM courses and required minimum grade as appropriate for awarding college credit at The University of Tulsa. These courses must have been taken at the main OSSM campus in Oklahoma City to qualify for credit. Courses taken at virtual regional centers are not eligible for transfer credit. Credit is awarded upon matriculation to TU with receipt of final high school transcript.
