Special Campus Programs

Joint Campus Registration

The participating colleges and universities are University of Oregon, Portland State University, Oregon Health and Sciences University (for students in the Oregon Masters of Public Health program only), Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, and Eastern Oregon University.

The joint campus registration program offers OSU graduate students access to course work at other OUS institutions through a single matriculation and registration at OSU. Joint campus registration is limited to graduate course work, and is intended for students who need to complete their graduate programs of study. The OSU Registrar’s Office will record on the OSU student’s transcript all credit earned on any OUS campus when the student has registered through joint campus registration. Graduate students who participate in the joint campus program should seek advising from their major professor or graduate program advisor. The joint campus registration form is available from the OSU Registrar’s Office. The OSU Registrar will register the student for the joint campus courses when the form, containing all required approvals, has been submitted.

Under joint campus registration, tuition and fees for the classes at the host university will be the same as if all courses were taken at Oregon State University. Students with joint campus registration for courses at other institutions will pay tuition and fees for those credits at OSU, with the exception of joint campus registration for credits at Western Oregon University (WOU). Students interested in joint campus registration at WOU may contact the OSU Registrar’s Office for tuition and fee payment information.

Access to Ecampus course work is not available through joint campus registration. Students participating in these programs are responsible for their own transportation.

Credits earned at the other campus through either joint campus registration are considered transfer credits.

Consult the Registrar’s Office for complete details and procedures.

Summer Session

Summer Admission to Graduate School

Graduate courses taken during summer session will apply toward a graduate certificate or an advanced degree only if:

1. The student has been admitted as a credential-seeking graduate student at OSU.
2. The courses have been approved by major and minor departments and the Graduate School.
3. The courses will become a part of the student's official program. See master's residence requirements.

Students who want to take graduate courses but do not intend to earn a graduate degree or graduate certificate need not apply for formal admission to the Graduate School for summer session. However, students who want to continue taking graduate classes during the regular academic year must apply for formal admission to the Graduate School.

Summer Schedule Information

OSU Extended Campus (Ecampus)

Graduate course work in select fields is available online and through face-to-face instruction at statewide locations. Individual graduate courses and workshops offered through Ecampus do not require admission to the Graduate School and are considered transfer credits unless the student has been admitted as a credential-seeking graduate student at OSU. Contact an academic advisor regarding specific requirements for graduate degree or graduate certificate programs.

Enrollment in OSU Extended Campus courses may not be used to satisfy enrollment requirements for graduate assistants or for scholarships and fellowships administered centrally by the Graduate School.
