I. University Overview

History of Oklahoma City University

Oklahoma City University was chartered as Epworth University on September 1, 1904. The first students attend-ed class in one all-purpose building. One hundred and sixteen students enrolled that fall. The original building is still standing and forms part of Epworth United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City.

Surviving the storms of financial difficulties, the university moved to Guthrie in the fall of 1911 and changed its name to Methodist University of Oklahoma. In 1922, the name was changed to Oklahoma City College. The col-lege was relocated to its present location in Oklahoma City where the current administration building housed both classrooms and student dormitories. In 1924, the college was renamed Oklahoma City University.

OCU emerged from the dark days of the Depression damaged, but intact. The end of the war in 1945 brought about an unprecedented surge in enrollment. As a result, there was an extraordinary amount of development through the remainder of the 40’s that included the Gold Star Building, which memorialized the Americans felled by World War II.

The 50’s got off to a great start with the university achieving its long-time goal of earning accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and merged with the Oklahoma City College of Law. Through the 60’s, university leaders and faculty worked together to create courses that approached lofty topics from a variety of perspectives and taught students to look at life in a new way. OCU’s spiritual life was also under construction and the Bishop W. Angie Smith Chapel was dedicated in 1968.

The 1970’s brought serious financial troubles for the university, sending waves of worry across campus and around town. By 1976, Bishop Paul Milhouse helped guide the university to receive donations from the Meth-odist Church that amounted to more than $3 million by 1980. Next, Jerald Walker, an OCU alumnus, became president in 1979. Quickly, he made a series of changes that improved facilities, created new programs and ag-gressively recruited students. By the summer of 1981, OCU was not only debt-free, but that it also had turned a profit for the first time since 1975.

The turn of the century ushered in great years for the university. In 2001, Tom McDaniel became president and his leadership transformed the university. The enhancement of university facilities included renovations to the Ann Lacy Visitor and Admissions Center, the Norick Art Center, Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center, and the Edith Kinney Gaylord Center and new construction of the Bass Music Center, Meinders School of Business and United Methodist Residence Hall.

President Robert Henry became the university’s 17th president in 2010. OCU has connected with the commu-nity and pledged to be its partner in meeting the economic and cultural needs of our citizens through premier education programs.

Star Summit for Student Leadership Star Summit for Student Leadership is a half-day leadership conference near the end of the academic year for OCU student leaders. The conference focuses on the needs of student leaders at the completion of an academic year, assessment of academic and non-academic University services, and preliminary planning for the next aca-demic year.

First-Year Experience

The First-Year Experience (FYE) program is committed to integrating new students into a diverse community that values intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. To achieve this end, the FYE program creates fun, stimulating, and exciting programs specially tailored to help new students succeed academically and socially at Oklahoma City University and beyond. Some of the FYE program’s signature events include the following.

Greek Life

Oklahoma City University is proud to host three sororities - Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, and Gamma Phi Beta; and three fraternities - Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Phi Gamma Delta. A fourth sorority, Phi Mu is colo-nizing in Fall 2013.

Four Core Values of Greek LifeGreek Life at OCU centers on four core values: Scholarship, Leadership Community Service, and Sisterhood/Brotherhood. These four core values enhance a student’s academic career by providing opportunities for practi-cal application of the knowledge gained in the classroom.

ScholarshipScholarship is an important aspect of any college organization, but OCU Greeks have taken their commitment to scholarship to the next level. Only students with at least a 2.5 GPA are eligible for recruitment, and chapters maintain individual scholarship standards for new members. Each Greek member is expected to maintain a GPA higher than the all-University average. Due to these high academic standards, OCU Greek men and women have consistently outperformed their non-Greek cohorts in the classroom.

Leadership Greek members take Oklahoma City University’s mission of servant leadership to heart every day as they serve not only in their own chapters but in all campus organizations. Involvement in the Greek community contributes to the development of positive leadership qualities in its members including vision, motivation, persistence, col-laboration, communication, self-awareness, and character.

Service OCU Greek Life also believes strongly in community service. Each year, members of the Greek community con-tribute thousands of hours and dollars to local and national charities. Each Greek chapter supports its national philanthropy as well as local philanthropic projects throughout the year including support of veterans, women’s heart health, ovarian cancer awareness, Campfire USA, domestic violence awareness, children’s miracle network hospitals, the regional food bank and the USO.

Sisterhood and Brotherhood Sisterhood and brotherhood are words with deep meaning in the OCU Greek community. Greek women and men form bonds that last a lifetime. Being Greek is not just four years of college... Greek is for life.

Human Dignity Statement Greek women and men believe in cultivating an environment that fosters the development of integrity and respects the dignity of all human beings.

HazingHazing practices are not only harmful, but also have no place in Greek organizations. OCU Greeks pledge to not allow themselves to be hazed nor to tolerate the hazing or harassment of any brother or sister. Hazing of any kind violates the OCU Student Code of Conduct.

Diversity The importance of diversity in our society and the promotion of human dignity are ideals upon which Greek organizations are founded and maintained. The Greek community promotes these ideals through education, communication, and actions.



Dry Recruitment Policy Alcoholic beverages are prohibited at all recruitment events on or off-campus. This prohibition also includes the use of all illegal drugs. Alcohol and/or drugs use on-campus or during the period of recruitment are violations of the OCU Student Code of Conduct. Any student found using or distributing alcohol and other drugs on cam-pus, in University approved housing, or during campus sponsored activities can face disciplinary action by the administration. The Office of Greek Life complies with all University policies and NPC Unanimous Agreements.

Chapter Residences Oklahoma City University is committed to maintaining a positive relationship with collegians, advisors, alumni, and national offices. A chapter residence is eligible to be classified as University approved housing. All University ap-proved housing units will maintain the same standards of safety and risk management as the University residence halls. Chapters who fail to meet these expectations are at risk of losing their University approved housing status.

Chapter AdvisorsAdvisors are selected by the Greek organizations and registered with the Office of Greek Life. Each recognized organization must have a registered advisor in order to participate in University activities and/or to be recog-nized by the University.


New Member Education Oklahoma City University encourages cooperative and mutually supportive relationships among the institution, undergraduate students, chapters, advisors, and the international Greek organizations. Organizations must ad-here to the standards of discipline established by the international offices and the University. Guidelines for new member education are established in accordance with the policies governing each organization.

Religious Life is vital part of the student experience at OCU. The following are some of the signature features of Religious Life at OCU.

Location: Bishop W. Angie Smith Chapel Phone Number: (405) 208-5060Website: http://www2.okcu.edu/religiouslife/

Chapel ServicesEvery Thursday at 1:00 p.m. throughout the academic year, the community gathers for a service of worship led by the University Chaplain with student participation. These services, usually around 40 minutes in length, feature many of our talented musicians. They usually follow a traditional format with occasional special services such as gospel music, jazz, and Celtic themes. Inspirational messages are presented by the Chaplain at many of these services, with students, faculty, and special guests speaking on occasion. Students have many opportuni-ties to participate in leadership including singing in a volunteer Chapel Choir. Visitors from outside the campus community are welcome and encouraged to attend.

EvensongEach Monday night at 8:30pm during the academic year the community is invited to a service of worship led by the Director of Religious Life, students, and our Evensong Band. This contemporary style service includes praise, prayer, scripture, sermons, and Holy Communion each week. It is an interactive worship experience with pizza following the service.

Student OrganizationsReligious Life offers a wide range of student organizations to help students deeply engage their faith through religious study, fellowship, and service. Some of the signature religious student organizations include the men’s and women’s Christian fraternity and sorority (Delta Alpha Chi and Kappa Phi), the Spirit of Grace Liturgical Dance Company, and many more. For a full list of religious student organizations visit http://www2.okcu.edu/religiouslife/students.aspx

IX. Student Organizations

Using Involved

The Involved website is the first stop for any student organization at OCU. Through Involved, student organiza-tions may become registered, apply for allotments, request event approval, promote events to other students on campus, and participate in student elections and surveys. Every student has access to Involved. Visit www.okcu.edu/involved for more information.

Registering and Forming a Student Organization

Student organizations are vital to building a vibrant campus life at Oklahoma City University. OCU strongly encourages students to explore the many diverse offerings of student organizations available on campus. All student organizations must be consistent with the University’s mission.

Requirements for Forming a Registered Student OrganizationBefore forming a student organization, the following electronic documents are required:

1. The constitution or by-laws of the student organization.2. Advisor name and contact information. The advisor must be a full-time University faculty or staff member.3. Membership roster.

For an example of all required documents visit www.okcu.edu/involved.

Annual Registration of Student OrganizationsEvery year each student organization must re-register. The registration process requires updating the student or-ganization’s executive leaderships’ contact information, governing documents, and membership roster. Instruc-tions for registration will be sent to current organization leadership prior to the end of the Spring semester.

Forming a Religious Student Organization All religious organizations on campus must be sponsored through the Office of University-Church Relations.

Those seeking approval as a student religious group must first submit an “Application for Recognition as a Student Religious Group” to the office of the University Chaplain for approval before registering on Involved. All student religious groups must agree to abide by the Ethical Framework for Religious Life at OCU.

The Application for Recognition as a Student Religious Group is available from the University Chaplains office.

Ethical Framework for Religious Life at OCU• Collegiality – OCU recognizes the diversity of religious belief present in society and on campus. This has

the potential to enrich the life of our community and the lives of each individual. A positive environment grows from mutual respect and a common understanding. All student groups and religious organiza-tions recognize that they are guests of the university and that their ability to operate on campus is a privilege. As such, all groups agree to abide by the ethical parameters of the university, partially outlined here. Any group who violates these guidelines, in the opinion of the University-Church Relations (UCR) staff, will forfeit their privilege to continue their ministry on campus.

• Accountability – All student religious groups must be associated with an organization with clear lines of accountability. Christian denominations and local houses of worship usually have boards or administra-tors who oversee such groups. Independent religious organizations may have a board of directors that serve a similar function.



• Personal Freedom – All religious groups will respect each person’s decision to believe, or not believe, any particular teaching or idea. A student must be able to freely participate in or to leave a religious group without being subject to harassment or shame. Religious groups will not encourage the alienation of any student from established friends and family. OCU religious groups should strive for a campus climate that honors the personal independence of each person, encourages open exploration, stimu-lates intellectual as well as spiritual inquiry, and supports the university’s devotion to truthful-ness and the search for knowledge.

• Inclusiveness and Identity – Student religious groups must be open to general participation by any interested student. They may, however, specify requirements for holding a leadership position and/or participating in a particular reli-gious ritual. OCU will not tolerate abuse of any kind, verbal, written, or physical, harassment, intimidation, or the denigration of another per-son on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, etc.

• Support of the University’s Mission – All reli-gious groups must promote the academic and program missions of OCU. They will not engage in any action that would place undue financial pressure on students or be demanding of their time so as to compromise their studies.

• Solicitation – All publicity distributed by reli-gious groups will conform to the policies of the University, including bearing the approval stamp from UCR. General solicitation of stu-dents is limited to specific areas and times that must be preapproved by the University Chap-lain and the Office of Student Life. Group mem-bers may make themselves available at these events and may respond when approached by interested persons but they may not actively pursue making the initial contact.

• Respecting privacy within university resi-dence halls – When desiring to share their faith commitment with students in residence halls, religious group participants should avoid invading or intruding upon the privacy of those students-whether through such means as personal visit, telephone, email, social network-ing sites, or mail – unless they have been asked by a student to make contact. They may not


canvass, approach, or visit an entire residence hall or floor. They may not randomly visit student rooms where no prior relationship has existed, even when the door to a student’s room is left open. They may not place publicity or solicitations on a general, random basis on or under the door of students’ rooms.

Funding for Student Organizations

DuesStudent organizations may require their members to pay membership dues. Dues help student organizations to maintain a consistent funding source. This is especially important because funding from Student Government Allotments or Student Senate legislation may vary from year to year. If a student organization collects dues the funds must be deposited into their student organization account. Registered student organizations that collect dues may have their members pay in cash or check. Checks can be written to Oklahoma City University with the name of the student organization included in the memo.

To deposit dues into the student organization’s account:1. Obtain a “Cash Transmittal Form” from the Office of Student Life. 2. Submit the Cash Transmittal Fee and dues to the Office of Student Account Services. 3. Receipts of deposit should be kept in the student organization’s records.

Funding from Student Senate LegislationAny student organization may receive funding from the Student Senate through a bill. The student organization must have a Student Senator author a bill that specifies the purpose and amount of funding requested. The ap-proval process for Student Senate legislation is as follows:

1. The Student Senator writes the bill and submits it to the Vice President of the OCU-SGA. 2. After receiving the bill, the Vice President of the OCU-SGA assigns the bill to a Student Senate committee

for a hearing. 3. If approved by the committee, the entire Student Senate considers approval of the bill. 4. If the Student Senate passes the bill, the President of the OCU-SGA has seven calendar days to either

sign or veto the bill. a. The bill is approved if the President does not sign it at the end of seven days.b. If the President vetoes the bill then it returns to the Student Senate who may overturn the veto with

a two-thirds majority vote. 5. Once approved, the Vice-President of the OCU-SGA presents the bill to the OCU-SGA staff liaison that

ensures that the organization receives the funds through either a direct deposit to the student organiza-tion’s account.

6. Student organizations should plan for at least two weeks between the time the bill is submitted and subsequently approved. It is highly encouraged that the executive leadership of the requesting student organization be in attendance for the committee and Student Senate meeting where the bill is consid-ered.

Organizational Allotments In addition to legislation, registered student organizations are eligible to receive funding through Organizational Allotments each semester. Organizational Allotments are determined by the Joint Committee on Organizational Allotments whose members include elected representatives from Prexie Club as well as members of the SGA. The Joint Committee on Organizational Allotments reviews all Organizational Allotment applications and makes a recommendation to the Student Senate on how the allotments are allocated.



EligibilityOnly registered student organizations may receive Organizational Allotments. Registered organizations must meet the following requirements to be eligible to apply for Organizational Allotments:

• Send a representative of the organization to attend the Allotment Information Meeting that will be held on the 7th Monday of each semester.

• Provide documentation of fulfillment of the Five Star Model.

Five Star Organizations The Five Star Model provides objective criteria for allocating Organizational Allotments. Student organizations are allocated funds based on whether they receive each “Star” (eligibility criteria) below:

• Fundamental Star – o Have a fully updated roster for the current year uploaded on Involved.o Have a mission or purpose statement uploaded on Involved.o Have an updated Constitution uploaded on Involved.

Allotment Process1. The Joint Committee on Organizational Allotments must send an announcement via OCU Involved to

all registered organizations notifying them of the application deadline and the date of the Allotment Information Meeting.

2. The application will be available on the 7th Monday of each academic semester at www.okcu.edu/in-volved.

3. Completed applications must be submitted at www.okcu.edu/involved. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted or considered.

4. Student organizations will be notified by email about their allocation before the end of each semester.

Withdrawing Funds from Student Organization Accounts

Registered Student Organization Account All registered student organizations must have a student organization account with the University. All financial transactions for student organizations are managed through their student organization account with the Office of Financial Accounting Services. Each student organization receives an account upon registration. The Assistant Director for Student Life – Student Activities assists student organizations in managing their student organiza-tion account. Each registered student organization president, treasurer and advisor may be authorized to access the student organization’s account by contacting the Assistant Director for Student Life for Student Activities.


Accessing Student Organization Funds Student organizations have three methods for using the funds available in their student organization account.

1. Petty Cash for amounts less than $100.00 – The executive leadership of the organization may obtain petty cash for up to $100 per day. o Contact Assistant Director for Student Life’s office to obtain a petty cash voucher. o Complete the petty cash voucher and return it to the Student Accounts window, located on the 3rd

floor of the administration building. o All receipts for purchases made with petty cash must be turned in to the Student Accounts window

within one week of receiving the petty cash.o If receipts are not returned, then the amount of petty cash will be charged to the student or organi-

zation that received the cash.o Request a copy at the window for your records.

2. Purchase Orders – Registered student organizations may have the University pay a vendor for services or goods from the student organization’s account. o The student organization must submit an invoice and an IRS W-9 form for the business issuing the

invoice to the Assistant Director of Student Life for Student Activities.o Once the invoice and W-9 have been received, the University will pay the invoice with a check from

the student organization’s account. o If the University has previously paid the vendor then only the invoice must be provided to ensure

payment. 3. Reimbursement – Students who make purchases using personal funds on behalf of a student organiza-

tion may be reimbursed. o Students must submit a receipt and complete a reimbursement form to the Assistant Director of

Student Life for Student Activities. o Once the receipt and reimbursement form are submitted, the student will be reimbursed with a

check from the student organization’s account or direct deposit to their personal checking account if the account information is on file with the University.

o Reimbursements typically require one week for processing.

XII. Student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Honesty

Academic honesty is required in all aspects of a student’s relationship with the University. Academic dishonesty may not be course-specific and includes falsification or misrepresentation of a student’s academic progress, status, or ability, including but not limited to, false or altered transcripts, letters of recommendation, registration or advising forms, or other documents related to the student’s academic career at Oklahoma City University or other colleges or universities. For more information about the University’s Academic Honesty Policy visit http://issuu.com/okcu/docs/undergraduatecatalog?e=1274003/2010309


Alcohol and Other Drug PoliciesOklahoma City University is to be a safe environment free from alcohol and other drugs. The University recog-nizes that the use of alcohol and illegal drugs diminishes the strength and vitality of human resources and the integrity of the institution. It is the intent of the University to educate and encourage students to abstain from alcohol and other drugs.

Alcohol and Drug EducationOklahoma City University recognizes its responsibility to help educate its students concerning alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and addiction. The University will offer lectures, courses, workshops, and prevention programs. The Office of Student Life, Student Health and Disability Services, and the University Counselor will provide lit-erature on resources, referral services and educational material on the use, abuse, and addiction to all drugs and treatment options.

Drug and Alcohol Dependency TestingThe University may require any student, who is reasonably suspected of drug use, to undergo drug testing. Drug testing will be conducted in accordance with the Oklahoma Standards for Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Act. Any drug tests required will be conducted by a state certified laboratory during, or immediately following, regular working or classroom hours. The tests will be paid for by the University. Any student who requests a retest of a sample in order to challenge the results of a positive test is required to pay all costs of additional tests.

The University may require a drug and alcohol dependency evaluation with either an in-house or contracted program that provides substance abuse counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation. A release of information form provided by the University must be signed by the student prior to any referral for testing or counseling. Students receiving sanctions requiring treatment may use any other certified program. In any case, a student must pro-vide proof of treatment before consideration is given to his or her reinstatement.

Disciplinary Action for Drug and Alcohol UseAny student found using or distributing alcohol and other drugs on campus, in on-campus housing, or during campus- sponsored activities can face disciplinary action by the University. The disciplinary action may include a drug assessment, referral for counseling, and/or treatment as recommended by a University approved counselor or counseling service.

The University may take disciplinary action against a student who refuses to undergo drug and alcohol testing. The University will take no disciplinary action against a student, except for temporary suspension, until the first test result has been confirmed by an additional test. Any student has the right to an explanation, in confidence, of the test results and may obtain all information and records related to testing. Information related to drug and alcohol tests will be kept confidential and apart from other student records.

Notification to State and Federal AuthoritiesThe University may refer individuals to applicable local, state, or federal law enforcement authorities for prosecu-tion. Any student who is convicted under a criminal drug statute for a violation occurring in any campus owned or leased facility must notify the University within five working days of the conviction. Within ten working days, Oklahoma City University is required to notify the Department of Education of the disciplinary action. Within thirty days, the University will take appropriate disciplinary action. Any questions concerning this policy may be directed to the Vice President for Student Affairs.

A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student is enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid



(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.

In compliance with federal law, Oklahoma City University will publish and distribute a report no later than Oc-tober 15 outlining the number and types of alcohol/drug violations occurring on campus during the previous academic year.
