Which Courses Qualify for Oklahoma’s Promise?
Please continue to be very careful about the courses intended to count for Oklahoma’s Promise, college admission and the college preparatory/work-ready curriculum. The allowable courses are very specific as described in the curriculum. For more details, please visit www.okpromise.org, click on the FAQ in the Quick Links at the bottom of the homepage and then click on Courses to Take. Students taking high school career tech courses intended to count toward the OKPromise curriculum requirements must have the courses (not the program title) listed on the transcript.
In evaluating the 2021 Oklahoma’s Promise seniors’ transcripts and program verification curriculum worksheets, we found a few errors described below:
- SCIENCE courses! Students must be completing the college prep-work ready diploma requirements to meet OKPromise curriculum. Some courses for the core diploma do not count for OKPromise.
- Financial Literacy, Intermediate Algebra, Math of Finance and Yearbook courses do not count toward the Oklahoma’s Promise curriculum.
For more information on the unique policies for students in these situations, contact the Oklahoma’s Promise office.
