Good afternoon,



We're excited to inform you about the important information and upcoming events from the OSRHE Student Preparation for College Readiness office.



1. New Counselor or District Testing Coordinator (DTC)

  *
Reminder: If you have a new counselor or District Testing Coordinator (DTC), please send their email address to Sabrina Wood at swood at osrhe.edu<mailto:swood at osrhe.edu> so that we can add them to our listserv.





2. 1st Year Counselor Desk Retreat

  *
Reminder: The Student Preparation Team will host a Desk Retreat for first-year counselors on Wednesday, August 6th. We will provide an overview of key college readiness topics, including:  PreACT, Concurrent Enrollment, OKPromise, OKcollegestart and FAFSA updates.

        *   Details:

           *   Date: August 6, 2025

           *   Time: 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM

           *   Registration: Please register in advance at 1st Year Counselor Desk Retreat Link<https://onenet.zoom.us/meeting/register/L-xGtjFKQxeet1X8bNjfhA>

           *   After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. Also, all registered attendees will receive the recording.





3. PreACT for 10th Grade

  *
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will again fund the PreACT for 10th-grade students in both public and private schools. The PreACT is free for ALL schools.  In May, you may have received an email from ACT and Student Prep about the new ACTNow platform. However, in June (see attached example), ACT informed us that the rollout of the new ordering system will be postponed until the next school year. Consequently, you will order your PreACT using the same website as in recent years, and all PreACT tests under our contract this fall will be paper/pencil only.

        *   Ordering Information:

           *   The ordering window opens on Monday, August 4. Please do not order before this date to avoid receiving an invoice from ACT.

           *
We will send the link to order via email on this listserv.

           *
Testing Window: Tuesday, September 2 through Friday, November 21





4. Student Preparation Fall Workshops

5. Student Preparation Overnight Conferences

We will be hosting overnight conferences again this year, starting in October.

        *   Registration will be available soon on our website: https://okhighered.org/student-prep. Once registration is open, we will send the link via email on this listserv.





6. Student Preparation Presentation Request
