- No acceptance or admission rate (%) is published on any official Carl Albert State College website or documentation.
- Minimum GPA requirement: A Retention Grade Point Average of 2.5 or higher is required—based on either high school transcript (if fewer than 12 college hours completed) or college transcript (if 12 or more hours completed). Zero-level courses are not included in this GPA.
- ACT requirements:

- However, an ACT exam is still required unless the student already holds an advanced degree.

- Reading and Math requirements (must be met before January 15 of the application year):
- Reading: ACT reading score of 19+, or Next-Gen Accuplacer ≥260, or Accuplacer Reading ≥90.

- Nursing clinical rotations for the traditional AAS program may require evening, weekend, or early morning assignments. The exact schedule varies by semester, with multiple sessions possible, according to program needs.
- The materials reviewed do not specify whether coursework in the AAS program is asynchronous or synchronous, nor do they mention evening or weekend delivery for theory classes, beyond clinical assignment times. Therefore, format (asynchronous vs synchronous) is unclear.
- Carl Albert State College permits Advanced Standing admission for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and transfer students from other nursing programs. These applicants mus
