More access to concurrent enrollment for teens
Schools and colleges cannot deny concurrent enrollment to eligible students who are at least 13 and under 21, including home-schooled students. The State Regents and State Board must set readiness rules and make concurrent enrollment available in every Oklahoma high school. Districts must give high school credit when a college course matches a district course; if it does not match, they record it as an elective. Districts must give each student information on these rules before enrollment each school year.
Tuition waivers for juniors and seniors
Eligible high school seniors get a tuition waiver for up to 18 credit hours at the resident rate. When funds are available and the senior program is fully funded, eligible juniors get up to 9 credit hours waived. There is no fixed cap on the number of waivers. The number given depends on program funding and the number of eligible students.
Adults 21–29 must use online high school
Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, adults older than 21 and younger than 30 can finish high school through their district only if the district offers a full-time virtual program and they use it. If the district has no full-time virtual option, they cannot enroll in person under this law.
Emergency clause and start dates
The law declares an emergency so it takes effect upon passage and approval. The act also states an effective date of July 1, 2026, but the emergency clause allows immediate operation upon approval.
