All students who enroll in a program, enroll in nine or more credit hours or have successfully completed at least nine credit hours at OSU-Okmulgee participate in entry academic profiling. The profiling instrument, Accuplacer CPT, evaluates academic performance in reading, sentence skills, arithmetic, elementary algebra and college level math. The Accuplacer CPT is an untimed, multiple choice, nationally recognized profiling instrument.

The scores earned on Accuplacer CPT identify advanced performance levels, as well as deficient performance levels. Students who score at an advanced performance level qualify for advanced standing credit or further performance measurement. Students who score at a deficient performance level will be advised of the various methods available for satisfying the deficiency.

Unless otherwise specified by program requirements, students must remove curricular deficiencies within the first 24 semester credit hours attempted. Students may enroll in collegiate level courses within the deficiency's discipline area only after the deficiency is satisfied.

Students should review their academic progress each semester with an advisor.
