May 1st is the national commitment deadline, until May 1st the ATD is refundable.  The benefit of paying your ATD by May 1st is you will then be allowed to register for a START program.  START is where students will be able to register for their fall term classes, meet with their academic advisor, and many other events to help get them settled before the fall term.  There are several START sessions throughout the summer and below is a link with more information and dates.

We have an online guide to help guide students and families through the process which is included below.

“How will my course transfer to OSU?”  This is one of the top questions we receive when working with transfer or concurrent credit high school students and those who have taken advance credits interested in Oregon State University.  For those students who have wondered how courses transfer, but haven’t found the answers yet, you’re in luck!  Keep reading.

OSU has multiple ways to find out quickly if courses taken at a community college, college or university are transferable.  For information on courses from Oregon and Hawaii community colleges that transfer to OSU as baccalaureate core credit (courses that meet general education requirements) please click here to take you to the Baccalaureate Core Course Equivalencies page.  To find information on courses from Oregon colleges and universities that are accepted in transfer, click here.

Haven’t taken any course in the state of Oregon?  There’s a useful method for students coming from a community college, college or university outside the state of Oregon too.  Students can create a worksheet for their educational planning and check individual courses by using the Single Course Search tool.  Please note that not all courses from all community colleges, colleges or universities have been reviewed. Courses not on the list will be reviewed upon your application and acceptance to the university.

For those students taking advance classes such as; Advance Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), General Certificate Education (GCE) or Military credit click here to see how they are credited.  Please be aware that the scores must come directly from the testing agency in order to be accepted.

The above information and links are meant to serve as tools to educate on transferable courses and are completely unofficial.  In order to receive an official articulation, students must first apply and gain admission to OSU, submit the advance tuition deposit (ATD) and register for an orientation session (START).  Advanced standing credit is applied to a student’s record after the student has been admitted to the university and official transcripts or score reports have been received by the Office of Admissions. Please allow 2-4 weeks for credit to be evaluated and appear as part of a students record.

To summarize, below are useful links to help find answers to transfer/advance credit questions;
General Transfer Credit Information
Oregon and Hawaii Community Colleges
Colleges or Universities in Oregon
Community Colleges, Colleges and Universities Outside of Oregon
AP/IB/CLEP/GCE or Military Credit

The fairs are free to attend we strongly encourage students to register for the fairs ahead of time. Each college/university have contact cards that students fill out to request more information, but filling out multiple contact cards can get tiring. By registering online ahead of time, students will receive a bar code that they can print out and bring with them to the fair. The bar code holds the student’s contact information and all the college counselors need to do is scan the bar code to receive all their information. It is more beneficial for the students because they then have more time to talk with the admissions representatives!

Student Registration: https://www.gotomyncf.com/

I bet a lot of students are celebrating the ending of their school year by relaxing, working a summer job, hanging out with friends or just enjoying their free time.  Some students are looking back at the completion of their sophomore or junior year and might not even be thinking about the next big step; going to college.  Here is a little secret from me to prospective students…summer is a wonderful time to visit Oregon State University!

Our Campus Visitor Center is open during the week and excited to welcome interested students and their families to explore our beautiful campus and programs.  The Campus Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday with current OSU students leading tours at 9am, 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm with the last tour departing at 3pm.  On top of the campus tour, visiting prospective students can take advantage of a housing tour, specific college tours, meet with University Honors College and if available an appointment with an Academic Advisor and Admissions Representative.

For the best on campus experience, I would advise students to register for the tour a few weeks before arriving on campus.  By registering early, our team is able to personalize the visit to the best of our ability.  Please click here to sign up for a tour or call Campus Visitor Center directly at 541-737-2626 or 800-291-4192.   The center will email a personalize schedule and a free parking pass before the visit.

With all this great news, what are you waiting for?  Sign up for a summer visit now!

As your high school journey ends with graduation we are looking forward to those students attending Oregon State University this coming fall!  The Office of Admissions would like to give you a few friendly reminders prior to summer.  Before you leave your high school make sure to request your final official transcript to OSU.  Another reminder is to double check and confirm that you have sent your SAT or ACT scores to our office.  Also, if you have taken any AP or IB (International Baccalaureate) exams you can request those scores sent our way too. 

To summarize, ask yourself these questions if you are attending OSU this fall:
Q) Have I requested my official transcripts to OSU?
A) If you said no to this question, ask your school to send your official transcript.

Q) I took the SAT and/or the ACT but did I send those test scores to OSU?
