4.21 - Student Location Policy

Updated: 8/14/2024

The University, in compliance with Federal Law, will use this policy to determine the student’s Location for purposes of determining any applicable required licensure disclosures in compliance with federal law.  

In accordance with the U.S. Department of Education disclosure requirements, OU records the location of prospective and current students. OU uses a student’s Location to determine if licensure disclosures requirements are required in compliance with 34 C.F.F. § 668.43(C)(3)(ii). OU records a student’s Location and uses it to determine any applicable licensure disclosures in the following instances:

  1. At the time the student goes through the process of admission, or
  2. At the time of initial enrollment in an academic program designed to lead to or advertised as leading to licensure required for employment in an occupation, and/or
  3. When a student notifies the University of a change in their academic program or major.

The Location of each student is determined by the information provided by the student at the time of enrollment into the academic program.

Student Location designations will remain in effect unless and until the student officially notifies OU that their Location has changed. All students participating in educational activities outside of Oklahoma must notify the University of their change in Location and sign an attestation, if appropriate.

Students who are enrolled in programs that lead to licensure in and for which all courses in the first semester of the program are completed entirely on the Norman, Oklahoma City, or Tulsa campuses, or other in-state geographic locations, are deemed to have Oklahoma as their Location at the time of initial enrollment for the purposes of this policy.  

The University will provide students with any required disclosures specific to the licensure requirements for a particular academic program based on the Location provided by the student.   

Further information can be found on the Student Location Policy.
