Social Justice Goals of the State Regents

To make possible the participation of all able persons at the highest attainable level of academic life regardless of their race, ethnic background, sex, age, religion, disability, income level, or geographic location; and to provide for social justice in the form of equitable and fair treatment and for systematic adjustments in the form of positive action until equity is attained.

(State Regents’ Policy and Procedures Manual, II-5-5)

Oklahoma statutes allow students without lawful immigration status to:

1. Enroll in college,

2. Pay resident tuition, and

3. Be eligible for state financial aid.

What Does the Law Provide?

61

In order to benefit from the law, students must have:

1. Resided in the state with a parent or legal guardian for at least the two years prior to graduation from an Oklahoma high school or successful completion of the General

Educational Development (GED) test.

62

2. Satisfied admission standards for the institution where they intend to enroll.

3. Filed an affidavit with the institution stating that they have filed an application, have a petition pending, or will file an application as soon as they are eligible to do so with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) toward legalizing their immigration status.

63

1. The Law does not establish Oklahoma residency.

2. Eligible students should contact the admissions office of the Oklahoma college or university where they intend to enroll to get more details for enrolling. The enrolling college or university may create its own affidavit.

Elements of the Law

64

3. Students are not eligible for federal financial aid.

4. Students are eligible for state-funded financial aid.

5. OHLAP and OTAG are included among the programs for state financial aid. Procedures are in place to apply for OHLAP and OTAG without a social security number.

65

A Requirement for K-12 Schools

“High school counselors shall inform immigrant students that they should apply for legal status as soon as possible to enhance their opportunity for higher education in Oklahoma.”

Official Transcripts

These do not use abbreviations that are unclear, such as: Geo. AppComm ICE F/CS BCA

89

Avoiding Delays and Summer Contacts

Transcripts that use uncommon abbreviations go in a stack to be completed later in the summer and usually require a call to the Counselor, Principal or Superintendent to clarify coursework.Use the Checklist!

90

Avoiding Delays Continued

Please complete both g.p.a. calculations.Make sure transcripts are readable and make sense to someone not in your school system.Be sure the graduation date is noted.All signatures must be obtained.

91

Financial Resources

Remember OHLAP pays for Tuition and will often cover around 25% of a student’s college cost at an Oklahoma Public College.Students should seek other avenues of financial support for cost not covered by OHLAP.

92

Financial Resources Continued

Encourage students to seek other sources of funding for the approximately 75% OHLAP will not pay.
