Oklahoma Colleagues:
 
OK EPAS Scholars, now in its eleventh year, is a State Regents' program
aimed at recognizing students for their collegiate preparedness as early
as the eighth grade.  We encourage you to consider the delivery of these
certificates at a special event in your school-either by giving them as
part of your awards ceremonies this spring, or through other special
venues.  
 
Your OK EPAS Scholars' roster will include students who scored at or
above the College Readiness Benchmark in any subject area on the EXPLORE
or PLAN test. These scores indicate whether students, based on their
performance on EXPLORE or PLAN, are on target to be ready for first-year
college-level work when they graduate from high school.  The ACT College
Readiness Benchmarks are:
 
 
EXPLORE
PLAN
 ACT 
English
13
15
18
Mathematics
17
19
22
Reading
15
17
21
Science 
Reasoning
20
21
24
 
*                PLEASE NOTE:  Because of reallocation of resources and
staff time we will not print the certificates nor will we create the
electronic certificates as we did last year.
*                THIS IS THE PROCESS FOR 2011:
o        When we receive the lists from ACT 
o        We will email the EPAS CONTACT persons with precise
instructions.  
*         The EPAS Contact will be asked to email epas at osrhe.edu
<mailto:epas at oshr.edu>  with the anticipated date of your recognition
event.
*         We will email back to you an Excel file of your student roster
AND a Word copy of the certificate.
o        If you know the person who was the EPAS Contact last fall is no
longer serving in that capacity, please email epas at osrhe.edu
<mailto:epas at oshr.edu>  and give us the updated information. 
Thank you for your support of students through EPAS and for your
leadership on your campus,
Cindy
