On May 20, the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) announced a one-time change of school Hardship Waiver.

To be eligible for this one-time hardship, students must submit a student transfer application through the State Department of Education’s website between June 1 and July 15.

If a student is returning to their home district, the school must provide documentation showing the student began the enrollment process on or before July 15.

Details of the criteria can be found on the OSSAA Website under “One time change of school hardship criteria.”

A hardship waiver submitted after the deadline must demonstrate an unusual, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstance that compelled the student to change schools.

According to OSSAA, once the student has begun the enrollment process, the school is responsible for submitting the hardship waiver to the OSSAA.
