During the 2024-2025 academic year, the policy regarding course modality and equivalency was updated. Per the
<a href="https://okhighered.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Chapter-3-2025.pdf">Undergraduate Transfer and Articulation of Course Policy 3.11.2.L.4</a>
<i>Course Equivalency determinations shall be made without reference to course modality</i>. For courses taken in prior academic years, course modality may be taken in account; however, this is no longer current practice. </div>
