OneCards

OneCards, or student indentification cards, are required for all students enrolled on the HSC campus. The OneCard allows students to check out materials at the Library, is used to access any facility after-hours their college/department wishes to have them assigned, access the HSC Student Union after-hours, and can be used as a debit card to make copies in the Library, pay for print jobs in the Student Union, or purchase food in the Student Union Food Court.

A Drivers License or other form of picture identification is required to verify identity. A student's first card costs $10.00, replacement cards cost $15.00. The process only takes approximately 5 minutes.

Cards can be obtained in the Service Center Building, Room 118D. The OneCard office is open from 8:00 - 5:00, Monday thru Friday. You may contact the office at 271-2980.

Complete and submit your FAFSA and Financial Aid Data Form according to the recommended deadlines or as soon as possible. After OUHSC Financial Aid receives your FAFSA, you'll be notified via mail if any additional information is needed or for award notification. Be sure to visit our website for frequently asked questions, forms online and scholarship searches. Our office is located in room 301 of the Student Union.

The University of Oklahoma requires that all motor vehicles parked on OU controlled parking lots (except visitor areas) must display a current University parking permit issued from the Parking Office. The "hang tag" permit must be displayed by hanging from the inside rearview mirror along with a window decal that must be displayed on the lower driver's side of the rear window. Parking permits may be purchased from the Parking Office that is located in the Service Center Building, Suite 100, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am until 5:00 pm.

The billing and collection of student tuition and fees are managed by the Bursar's Office. Students not receiving adequate financial aid to pay all tuition and fees due, may make monthly installments during the Fall and Spring terms. Accounts with an outstanding balance after the initial due date will be assessed a 1.5% service charge each month a balance remains on the student account. Monthly bills are generated for students with an outstanding balance.

Students not having met their financial obligation to the university prior to the end of the term will be assessed a $50.00 late fee and will have a HOLD placed on their account which prevents enrollment in future terms and the release of official transcripts. If tuition and fees are being paid by a third party (Army, Navy, etc.), please deliver the appropriate documentation to either office as soon as the award is received.

The Bursar's Office has two locations on the HSC campus. One is located in the Service Center Building, Room 118, the branch office is located in the Student Union, Room 306, both offices are open from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, except for University recognized holidays.

International Checklist

For internationals, we put a service (hold) indicator on the SA system as a reminder that the student must do a check-in with International Admissions in Admissions & Records. During the admission process, she accepts certified copies of their academic credentials, so, once they arrive, the students are required to come by to review original transcripts/marksheets and then we start the immigration check-in (by copying their visa documents) while we're at it. This process will allow us to clear the hold so they can continue the enrollment process.

Immunization Requirements

OUHSC students are required to provide proof of the following immunizations prior to starting classes, or by the deadline set forth by your college these include:

Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD Mantoux) - Attach a record of a negative TB skin test for two consecutive years. If it has been more than twelve months since your last TB skin test, must undergo the two-step testing. (Two-step testing distinguishes a boosted reaction for a reaction due to new infection). If you have ever tested positive, attach a copy of a chest x-ray report and a copy of physical examination report completed by a physician. If you have received preventative therapy, attach a copy of the treatment record. Please note that two-step testing requires 10-14 days apart.

MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) - A history of having the disease is not sufficient. Attach evidence of two doses of vaccine at least 1 month apart or a positive antibody titer.

Tetanus and Diphtheria (Td) - Attach a record of three childhood DPT immunizations and one adult Td immunization that you received in the last ten years, or attach evidence of two adult Td immunizations, with at least one of these received in the last ten years.

Varicella (Chickenpox) - Blood test for immunity. A history of having the disease is not sufficient. Attach a copy of the varicella blood test report. If the blood test reveals non-immune status, you must receive two does of vaccine at least 4 weeks apart.

Hepatitis B Immunization Series - is required for all students that will be having potential exposure with blood. You may wait until shortly after classes begin to initiate the hepatitis B immunization series. If you receive the first dose of the vaccine before classes begin, you will need to receive subsequent doses on schedule, which are one month, second month and fifth month apart. If you have complete the series you must provide proof or a copy of a blood test report as evidence of immunity.

Individual colleges may also require additional requirement depending on what degree the student is pursuing, but will not be allowed less than the above immunizations.

If you need vaccinations or tests, you may contact Student Health Service office at the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where, for a nominal fee, they will provide the vaccinations and tests. You may contact them at 405-271-2577 for an appointment. Student Health Service is located at the Family Medicine Building, 900 NE 10th, Oklahoma City, OK.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations apply only to paid employees, however, students are encouraged to follow the precautions outlined by those regulations to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. Health and safety precautions, procedures, and training requirements established by individual departments or laboratories must be followed by students at all times.

The Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO) strives to make safety a priority at OUHSC. Other safety tips and information are available on the following web sites:
