If your request is received before the registration deadline, space is available and no one is on the waiting list, we can change you to a different class.  All changes must be requested in writing and sent to precollegiateprograms@ou.edu.

CAN I REGISTER FOR ONE SUBJECT AND BE ON THE WAITING LIST FOR ANOTHER?

No.  We feel it isn’t fair to other teachers trying to register.

WHAT IF THE SUBJECT I WANT IF FULL?

If the subject you request is full, and you want to be placed on the waiting list, please submit your registration form WITHOUT the $50 Registration Deposit.  Your $50 Registration Deposit will be collected if a seat becomes available.  If a seat does become available, we will contact you at the email address you provide on your registration form.  If you do not reply, we will move to the next person on the waiting list.
