What are the transfer requirements from community college to Oregon State University?

I'm currently at a community college and planning to transfer to Oregon State University. I'm not entirely sure about the transfer requirements, especially concerning GPA, credits, and deadlines. Can anyone share insights or personal experiences?

Of course, transferring to a new university involves a set process and meeting specific eligibility criteria to ensure a smooth transition. Here's some details about transfer requirements from community college to Oregon State University.

To transfer, Oregon State University (OSU) generally requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25 from all colleges attended. They also emphasize that some of their programs may have higher GPA requirements so be sure to check specific program requirements.

Regarding the application deadlines, these are dependent on the term you wish to start your studies. For Fall term, the priority application deadline is March 15, and the final deadline is August 28. For Winter term, the final application deadline is December 9, and for Spring term, it's March 3. Finally, for Summer term, the deadline is June 23. Keep in mind that certain programs may also have additional requirements or earlier deadlines.

Lastly, while not a strict requirement, OSU highly recommends you complete your degree requirements under a Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) or an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) at the community college. The DTA/AAOT meets the lower-division general education requirements of OSU and most other public and private colleges and universities in the Pacific Northwest.

Remember to have your official transcripts sent to OSU as part of your application process. If you are enrolled in courses at the time of application, you will need to send updated transcripts once the term is completed and grades are posted. It's best to regularly communicate with your current community college advisor and Oregon State University to ensure you're meeting the right requirements.

I hope this gives you a clearer understanding of the transfer process to OSU. It's always a good idea to get in touch with the admissions office if you have further questions. Good luck!
