Oregon University System (OUS) Admissions Requirements, 2015-16 Here are the basic admission requirements for all Oregon public universities. Students must also fulfill the Campus Admission Requirements for each university they are interested in (see overview chart below or visit a campus website)

The general admission requirement include the following: •Graduation from a public or accredited private high school or home schooling program •A satisfactory, minimum grade poit average (GPA) in all graded subjects taken toward high school graduation, or meeting requirements and deadlines; find out more on campus websites.

GED or Non-Standard High Schools If you earned a General Education Development certificate (GED) or graduated from a non-standard or unaccredited high school or homeschool program, ask a counselor about OUS admission requirements.

Honors Colleges and Programs Several of Oregon’s public universities offer selective honors colleges and programs to Oregon students. Opportunities may include working closely with scholars, completing an undergraduate thesis, and learning within a community of highly motivated students. These programs sometimes have special admissions requirements and deadlines; find out more on campus websites.

Housing Three OUS institutions, OIT, PSU, and UO—do not require freshmen to live on campus. EOU, OSU, SOU and WOU require freshmen to live in campus-approved housing. Many freshmen choose a group living situation such as a residence hall because it offers such advantages as convenient location, reasonable cost, prepared meals, and the opportunity to interact with other students in a learning and living environment. For campus housing applications and further information, visit unversity websites.

2OSU requires the Insight Resume

3All OUS institutions conduct more comprehensive reviews of applicants who do not meet the minimum required GPA for admission. Reviews include additional factors such as standardized test results, rigor of courses taken, review of writing sample or personal essays, non-cognitive factors, and other indicators that predict potential success in college. Academic performance and meeting minimum qualifications are not the sole criteria for admission to an OUS university. A university may evaluate other factors to determine ability to maintain the standards of academic and professional conduct expected at the university.
