Transfer to Oregon State Engineering
Whether you’re coming from a community college or another university, we’re here to help you navigate the process and transition smoothly into your Oregon State engineering program.
Am I a Transfer Student?
You are considered a transfer student if you have completed a minimum of 24 quarter (16 semester) graded, transferable credits from a regionally accredited college or university. Students still in high school at the time of application should use the First-Year application, regardless of college credits taken while in high school.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are no guarantees until the official Advanced Standing Report is issued by the Office of Admissions. Many courses transfer, but not all may apply directly to degree requirements.
This depends on your previous coursework and program requirements. Contact an academic advisor to walk through what your timeline might look like.
Students can review how their Oregon Associates degree will transfer to OSU at the Undergraduate Admissions Transfer Credit Options website.
No problem! Use the course equivalency tool on your own to see what courses might transfer as, or contact an advisor to go through it together.
After you’re admitted and send your official transcripts to the Office of Admissions, you will be placed in the queue to have your transfer coursework officially articulated. You’ll be notified in Beaver Basecamp when the report is ready for review. This process can take some time, so try to be patient!
Some courses from other institutions will transfer with course designations LDT or UDT, indicating lower-division or upper-division transfer courses for which we are not aware of a direct equivalent at Oregon State; however, many of these courses can still apply toward degree requirements.
This varies by program. The best way to determine what’s possible is to connect with an academic advisor. They can help you understand your options.
