Who decides
Statewide: OSRHE Policy 3.18; institutions judge cases.
The high-school path
None — HB 1804 path (70 O.S. §3242) struck down Aug 2025 (E.D. Okla.); Regents removed the policy Sep 2025. Never covered visa holders..
Where this comes from
OSRHE Policy 3.18.
Re-verification note: Waiver is discretionary per institution — in-state RATE, not classification.
