Oklahoma City University International Admissions

We wish all our international Asian students at OCU a Happy Lunar New Year full of prosperity and good health!

The Learning Enhancement Center (LEC) is offering our international students at OCU a wonderful opportunity for English Conversation Practice. Even during the pandemic, this opportunity is still available via Zoom. Peer educators can work with international students on specific problems, or just help them practice their speaking and listening skills.

Any OCU student can schedule an appointment from the Learning Enhancement Center web page at https://libguides.okcu.edu/lec or directly at https://okcu.libcal.com/appointments/lec?g=4077

Writing, math, science, and music theory assistance is also available.

Please join Hicham Boukhnati, the Immigration & International Activities Advisor in the IA Office at OCU, for the upcoming Post-Completion OPT Webinar on Zoom. The webinar will be held on February 4, 2021 at 1 p.m. The webinar will cover several aspects of OPT such as eligibility, application process, reporting, and unemployment. Students will also have the opportunity to ask questions regarding OPT. Below is the Zoom link to join the OPT webinar. We look forward to seeing many students and answering as many questions about OPT as possible.

Senior International Admission Counselor Star Bradford is having a quite productive week in Texas now recruiting students! She had students from Vietnam, Somalia, Mexico, Nepal, Senegal, and Nigeria visited her table today at Richland College in Dallas. She also had great help from an alumna Ms. Oni Oluwafisayo who graduated from the BSN-DNP program at OCU and is currently working as a nurse practitioner in Desoto, Texas.

Mark your calendar! Make sure you register on Handshake!

Tuesday, October 8th is Career Fair Day! Make a plan to stop by the Great Hall between 11:30-1:30! This is your opportunity to network with recruiters who have paid to meet you and talk with you about employment opportunities ranging from internships to full-time, salaried positions. This is also an ideal time to practice those networking skills – find out what employers are looking for in an ideal candidate by chatting with our recruiters, then stop by our professional headshot booth for a free headshot to use on LinkedIn or your personal webpage! Interacting with employers will help you prepare for a job interview wherever and with whomever down the road, but in this instance, your Career Services team is in the room with you while it happens! For a full list of employers attending, plus an opportunity to check out what they’re hiring for, log-in to Handshake and check out the Career Fair details under the ‘Events’ tab! While you’re there, register! This will make your check-in process at the fair easier, and will land you a premade name badge.
