The University of Central Oklahoma will host Junior Day for high school juniors interested in getting a head start on their college planning from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m., Friday, April 17, on Central’s campus.

The event is designed to introduce prospective students to UCO’s admissions, scholarship and housing processes while helping them to better understand what to expect as they prepare for college. Participants will also have the chance to meet current UCO students who will share firsthand insights about campus life and what it truly means to be a Broncho.

“Junior Day is an exciting way for high school juniors to get a head start on college planning and learn how UCO can meet them where they are,” said Jancy Scott, senior director of admissions and recruitment at UCO.

“It provides a hands-on introduction to the opportunities, support and sense of community that make Central a place where students can thrive from day one.”

This immersive experience will give high school juniors and their families valuable tools and information to confidently take the next steps toward their future.

UCO is accepting applications for admission for the 2026-27 academic year. Visit apply.uco.edu to apply.
