Admission Requirements for First-Year Students

When to Apply

These deadlines are subject to change without notice as circumstances demand.

Degree Partnership Program deadlines are posted on the Admissions Web site at http://oregonstate.edu/partnerships/students/.  

The Admission Process

Telefax (Fax) credentials are considered official if faxed directly from a high school within the U.S.A. with a cover page. Our fax number is 541-737-2482.

Portfolios, videotapes, essays and personal interviews are generally not required.

Evaluation Process

Complete applications are first reviewed to confirm successful completion of the 14 high school subject requirements and GPA earned. For those who meet GPA and subject requirements, there is no minimum SAT or ACT score requirement. However, official scores from one of these tests are required for admission and advising purposes.

Applicants for undergraduate admission are required to complete  an "Insight Résumé," a written assessment designed to evaluate students' noncognitive attributes. These attributes include self-concept, realistic self-appraisal, handling the system, ability to set long-range goals, leadership, connections with a strong support person, community engagement, and nontraditional learning.

Academic performance is not the sole criterion for admission to the university. The university may evaluate a person's behavior and background to determine their ability to maintain the standards of academic and professional conduct expected at the university. An evaluation may take into consideration current behavior and performance as well as past experiences and actions. Simply qualifying for admission does not guarantee admission.

Applicants are notified of their admission status on a rolling basis.

Selection of First-Year Students

The admissions process provides a fair and comprehensive review of all applicants to determine potential success at OSU. It is crucial that applicants carefully complete the application process by providing thorough information. Estimating the likelihood of admission is very difficult without considering the complete application file.

Regular Admission

Strength of Curriculum:

• Quality, quantity, and level of course work throughout the entire high school program, especially course work completed beyond the minimum courses required (See the high school course requirements chart.)
• AP, IB, or college course work completed or in progress
• Strength of the program taken within the context of the high school attended
• Progressively challenging math sequence (beyond Algebra II), demonstrated by performance

Academic Performance:

• A minimum high school grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale as calculated by the Office of Admissions)
• Class rank taken in context with academic rigor and size of high school attended
• Performance on standardized tests: SAT or ACT.

Insight Résumé:

• Understanding of you as a unique, contributing individual
• Your accomplishments, perspectives, experiences, and talents
• Your achievements within the context of your social and personal circumstances
• Participation in activities that develop academic, intellectual, and leadership abilities

Insight Résumé scores are also used for scholarship selection, secondary review of applicants who do not meet admission requirements, and compiling baseline data.

Extended Admission

High School Course Requirements

Alternatives to Subject Requirements

1. Earning a 940 total score on two SAT Subject Tests (Math level I or II and a second test of choice [foreign language recommended])
   OR
2. Successfully completing course work (high school or college transfer) for specific subject deficiencies.

Alternatives should be completed by high school graduation.

Test Requirements

Official scores are required.

The institutional code for having most test scores sent to OSU is 4586.
The OSU ACT code is 3482.

High School Graduation

Footnotes

² Accredited high schools are those that are reviewed and recognized by a regional entity, such as the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, as meeting an appropriate level of academic rigor and support.

Graduates of Nonstandard or Unaccredited High Schools or Home-Schooled Students

(Math level I or IIC and another test of the student’s choice. An examination in a second language is strongly recommended to qualify a student for admission by meeting the language proficiency requirements. Students who do not take a SAT subject test in a second language must prove language proficiency through another approved process.)

Minimum ACT/SAT Reasoning Requirements for Students Who Did Not Graduate from an Accredited or Standard School for 2009–10

(includes Math, Critical Reading, and Writing beginning March 2005)

ACT* 23 or SAT Reasoning 1540

* ACT scores are subject to change with additional information from ACT regarding integration of the optional writing exam.

Test scores are used:

• as an alternate means of meeting the GPA and/or subject requirements;
• to comply with the admission policy for graduates of unaccredited high schools;
• in selectively admitting qualified applicants; and
• for advising, guidance, and research purposes.

Admission Based Upon GED Scores

Petition for Admission Consideration

Advanced Placement (AP) Credit

International Baccalaureate Credit

OSU also grants additional benefits for students who complete the full IB diploma, as follows:

Guaranteed admission to OSU (Though not considered for admission, students are required to submit SAT scores for course placement purposes.)

Sophomore standing for any student with a total score on the full IB diploma of 30 or higher.

IB Awards are available to students with a total score on the IB diploma of 30 or higher. This is an annual, renewable, award of at least $2,000. IB students may also apply for more substantial awards.

OSU evaluates individual IB scores in much the same way that it evaluates AP scores. Students must indicate that they would like official test scores sent to OSU. OSU will grant credit for "higher-level" subjects and standard subjects listed on the admissions Web site at http://oregonstate.edu/admissions/firstyear/apibclep.html.

This policy is subject to change for fall 2010 admission.

Transfer Admission

When to Apply

Minimum Requirements for Admission Consideration

U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents:

1. Successful completion of no less than 36 quarter (24 semester) graded, transferable credits from (an) accredited U.S. institution(s). Students with at least 12 quarter but fewer than 36 graded transferable hours will be considered on the basis of their high school records and test scores, and must have a 2.25 GPA on all collegiate work attempted.
2. Only college-level, transferable credits are counted in those accepted in the GPA computation (professional-technical course grades are not included).
3. Grade of C– or better earned in the following courses:
   • College-level writing beginning with WR 121 (English Composition) or equivalent.
   • Mathematics course with course content of College Algebra for which the prerequisite is Intermediate Algebra.
   • Two terms of the same of foreign language in college will be required of those high school graduates of the class of 1997 and beyond who did not successfully complete two units (years) of foreign language while in high school.
4. Eligibility to return to most recent college or university attended.

5. Academic performance is not the sole criterion for admission to the university. The university may evaluate a person's behavior and background to determine their ability to maintain the standards of academic and professional conduct expected at the university. An evaluation may take into consideration current behavior and performance as well as past experiences and actions. Simply qualifying for admission does not guarantee admission.

Consideration will be given to applicants with a 2.00 GPA and an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree from an Oregon community college.

Evaluation and Transferability of Credit

Official transcripts of all college work attempted must be submitted directly from the Registrar's Office of each institution. Telefax (Fax) credentials are considered official if faxed directly from a U.S. school with a cover page. Our fax number is 541-737-2482.

OSU accepts in transfer all college-level courses successfully completed at colleges or universities accredited by an appropriate accreditation agency. An advanced standing report acknowledging the courses accepted by the university will be sent via e-mail by the Office of Admissions after the official letter of admission.

Persons transferring to OSU from a community college may have up to 124 term credits (83 semester units) accepted toward their bachelor's degree. If the school previously attended used the semester system, one semester credit equals 1.5 quarter credits at OSU.

CLEP

For information on OSU's acceptance of professional-technical courses, please see Academic Regulation 2, paragraph b below.

Acceptance of Credit from a Two-Year Institution
(OSU Academic Regulation 2):

Credit From A Two-Year Institution (Undergraduate Students)

1. College Transfer Credits: Oregon State University accepts credit toward a baccalaureate degree all college transfer work completed at an Oregon or other accredited community college up to 124 lower-division quarter credits. For Institutional Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees, see AR 25. Students are encouraged to work with the relevant academic unit to ensure that transfer credits meet department and college requirements for the degree. It would be unlikely for an individual student to be able to use all 124 credits toward an OSU baccalaureate degree. Transfer credits and grades are not used in calculating the OSU cumulative GPA. Students who hold OSU-approved direct transfer degrees from Oregon or other accredited community colleges (e.g., the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer) or who have 90 or more credits accepted in transfer will be granted junior standing.¹ Students who hold OSU-approved direct transfer degrees will be considered to have met the Perspectives and Skills (except WIC) areas of the Baccalaureate Core. In addition, they must complete the upper-division Synthesis areas of the core. Students transferring from Oregon or other accredited community colleges who do not hold approved direct transfer degrees ordinarily will be given baccalaureate core credit in the Perspectives and Skills area on a course-by-course basis for work that is judged to be equivalent in content.
   
2. Transfer of Professional-Technical Credits: a maximum of 12 quarter credits (8 semester credits) of professional-technical course work applicable in an associates degree or certificate program at an accredited institution can be accepted upon admission to OSU as general elective credit (graded as Pass) and as part of the 124-quarter credit total that can be applied toward a baccalaureate degree.
   
3. Transfer of Professional-Technical Course Credits through Articulation Agreements: Lower-division OSU credit may be awarded for specific professional-technical community college courses when those courses are validated by articulation agreement with the appropriate OSU department. This may be above the 12 quarter credits of general electives (graded as Pass) allowed when a student is admitted to OSU. Credit will be awarded only upon the recommendation of the appropriate department and college, and approval by the Curriculum Council. Community college professional-technical course work is not equated to upper-division OSU course work. These course credits will count as part of the 124 quarter credits defined in paragraph 2a above. OSU departments who have articulation agreements with community colleges regarding community college professional-technical courses shall review the agreements annually and forward a dated list of the articulated community college courses to the Curriculum Council.

Footnote

¹ Junior standing does not necessarily imply that OSU institutional, college, division, and/or departmental requirements, which are normally satisfied by OSU students prior to their junior year, have been satisfied.

Petition for Admission Consideration

Nondegree Status

Nondegree enrollment status requires no formal admission process and has no requirements for entrance. A nonrefundable $25.00 admission application fee is charged. Nondegree applications should be submitted electronically to the Office of Admissions. Approval is granted for a specific term. Students who are unable to attend the specific term and want to enroll later should contact the Office of Admissions.

Nondegree students are given grades and academic records, and are reviewed according to university standards of good academic progress.

Nondegree students who wish to seek full admission and pursue a degree must do so by submitting an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate or graduate application for admission. In either case, an admission application fee is required. Successful enrollment as a nondegree student does not guarantee regular admission. Credits earned while enrolled under nondegree undergraduate status will be applied to a student's record.

Nondegree graduate students who decide to seek admission to a specific degree program during the course of their studies should note that any credits taken as a nondegree student may or may not be applicable for that degree, depending upon a variety of factors, their chosen program and the policies of the Graduate School. Graduate students are further advised that at least 30 graduate credits must be completed after full admission as a degree-seeking graduate student, regardless of the number of credits previously earned while in nondegree status. Close communication with the Graduate School is encouraged.

Nondegree students follow the registration procedures and policies as outlined in the Registration Information Handbook. The Schedule of Classes is available through the Web at http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/Default.aspx?section=ClassListing. Registering students are expected to obtain a student identification card through the ID Center in the Kerr Administration Building basement.

Tuition and fees for nondegree students enrolled in fewer than 9 credits are assessed at resident rates based on undergraduate- or graduate-course level. Payment of the health service fee is optional. Enrollment in excess of 8 credits requires that tuition and fees be assessed at the same rates as regular students and requires full admission as a regular student.

Registration holds in place prior to applying for nondegree status must be satisfied before registration as nondegree student will be allowed.

Academic Regulation 1. Admission for Nondegree Students

1. Nondegree enrollment status for undergraduate students is designed for students who wish to take 8 or fewer credits per term, but do not wish to pursue a degree or a specific postbaccalaureate credential.
2. Nondegree enrollment status for graduate students is designed for students who wish to take graduate courses, but do not wish to pursue an advanced degree. Nondegree graduate students are not limited as to the number of courses (credits) per term.
3. Credits earned as a nondegree undergraduate student may be used to satisfy degree requirements upon admission as a degree-seeking student.
4. Credits earned while enrolled as a nondegree graduate student will not necessarily apply to a graduate program upon admission to degree-seeking status. Communication with the Graduate School and specific academic programs is advised.
5. Nondegree students seeking admission to a degree program must do so by submitting an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, or graduate application for admission.

International Undergraduates as Nondegree Students

Select a Major

Admission of Postbaccalaureate Students

Students who want to earn a subsequent minor or certificate from OSU may apply for nondegree enrollment status. Students must complete the current requirements for a minor or certificate and receive the dean's approval. Students must also achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 and complete a minimum of 15 credits in residence. A nonrefundable $25.00 admission application fee is charged.

Admission with Graduate Standing

Admission of International Students

Conditional admission may be granted to:

Such conditional admission requires:

1. On-campus testing of English language proficiency prior to enrollment.
2. Compliance with a specified plan for English and academic course work during each quarter until such time as the student qualifies for nonconditional admission.

Appeals from the specified plan are made to the head advisor at the undergraduate level and to the Graduate School at the graduate level.

For alternatives to the TOEFL test, visit our Web site at http://oregonstate.edu/admissions/international/test_scores.html

Exceptions to the English proficiency test requirement are:

1. Applicants born and educated in English-speaking countries such as Canada, United Kingdom, etc.
2. Graduate applicants who have finished a previous college degree in an English-speaking country.
3. Those who have completed English course work or taken other tests deemed to be equivalent to the required minimum score on the TOEFL.

Additional detailed information is available on the admissions Web site.

A student with less than a four-year bachelor's degree, or with a diploma, certificate, or title not accepted by OSU as equivalent to a bachelor's degree, may apply for undergraduate admission but should refer to Graduate School Admission Requirements for information regarding eligibility for graduate admission.

All records in a foreign language must include the originals accompanied by a certified English translation. A complete description of all schooling from primary or elementary school to present level of training is needed to permit better understanding of academic preparation. A GPA of 2.25 (undergraduate) and grades of "A" or "B" (graduate) are necessary on work accepted in transfer from an American college or university.

When to Apply: International Undergraduate and Transfer Students

(Graduate applicants must meet departmental deadlines. Please refer to the Web site applicable to your chosen major.)
