A first-time student is a high school senior or graduate who has not attended a full-time semester of college since graduating from high school or earning a GED/HiSET. 

The College welcomes applications from international students. Because the College was founded to serve students from the Ozarks region, openings for international students are limited. We have vacancies for approximately 3-6 international students each year and welcome their unique contributions to our campus life! 

The International Student application is appropriate for anyone who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. 

A Former Student is an applicant who has previously attended College of the Ozarks. 

C of O welcomes applications from transfer students with a minimum college GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. To be considered a transfer student, you must have completed at least one full-time semester (12+ hours) of college credit after high school graduation. Applicants with a bachelor’s degree are ineligible for admission.
