From calexander at osrhe.edu Thu Feb 7 09:42:43 2013 From: calexander at osrhe.edu (Alexander, Carol) Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 15:42:43 +0000 Subject: [OKPromise-k12-counselors] Oklahoma's Promise Rule Amendments In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Counselors: This is information about some Oklahoma's Promise rule amendments. 1. High School and College GPA requirements have been clarified. The amendments extend the numerical value of the program's minimum GPA requirements from one decimal point to two decimal points (e.g. from 2.5 to 2.50). This change clarifies that rounding is not allowed. High school students must have at least a 2.50 in the required 17-unit core curriculum AND at least a 2.50 for all courses taken in high school. 2. The statutes creating the program state that, to begin using the program award after high school, an Oklahoma's Promise student must "have graduated within the previous three (3) years." The change clarifies that the period is three calendar years. In other words, a 2012 graduate must begin college no later than the end of 2015. The permanent rule changes were approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education at their meeting on January 31, 2013. They have been forwarded to the legislature and the governor for final review. The agenda item is attached to this e-mail.
