Committee advances bill easing OLAP and admissions rules for homeschool students
Summary
HB 2,950 would bar universities from creating extra admissions requirements for students from unaccredited homeschool backgrounds, allow admission by parental transcript/GPA and use existing ACT results for Oklahoma's Promise (OLAP) eligibility; Representative Wooley said the bill protects homeschooling families.
Representative Wooley said House Bill 2,950 addresses practices that may create additional obstacles for applicants from unaccredited homeschool backgrounds. The bill would prohibit public institutions from adding extra admissions requirements for homeschool graduates, allow admission by parental transcript and GPA where appropriate, and rely on ACT scores already taken for college admission rather than an added ACT requirement specifically to qualify for Oklahoma’s Promise (OLAP).
Members questioned how the bill would guard against bad‑actor homeschool transcripts and whether the Regents had been consulted. Wooley said universities still require ACT or equivalent admissions tests, institutions could place students on academic probation when needed, and she was in contact with the Regents and the fiscal team about possible impacts.
The committee moved and the chair declared HB 2,950 passed in committee by a recorded vote of 7 ayes and 2 nays.
