Advising
at Oregon State University
Academic Advising
OSU recognizes that quality academic advising is integral to the academic development and well-being of students.
Quality academic advising includes both the prescriptive elements of advising (assisting with course selection,
maintaining curriculum checklists, tracking degree progress and completing degree audits, etc.) and the developmental
aspects of advising (major and career decision making, integration in campus and academic cultures, assistance with and
referrals surrounding issues affecting a student’s academic success, etc.).
While each college has developed an advising system sensitive to the needs of its academic disciplines and
departments, there is consistency in that each also has a head advisor. Undeclared students receive advising through the
University Exploratory Studies Program (UESP).
Vision
Oregon State University aspires to be recognized nationally for excellence in academic advising among land grant
institutions.
Mission
Oregon State University academic advising is a teaching and learning process dedicated to student success. Academic
advising engages students in developing a plan to realize their educational, career and life goals.
Academic Advising at OSU
Values
The values associated with OSU advising are closely aligned with the stated
values of the university.
Accountability: We are committed to providing timely, accurate, and
intentional advising.
Diversity: We honor the unique nature and interests of each student.
Advising services and delivery methods will be shaped to fit the diverse
needs of our campus populations.
Respect: We seek to establish a reciprocal relationship with students
based on an ethic of care and shared responsibility.
Social Responsibility: We foster a culture of independent thinking and
global awareness so that students make informed, socially responsible
choices consistent with their academic, career and life goals.
Integrity: We seek to engage students in a fair and professional process
of meaningful self-reflection and authentic inquiry.
Goals
OSU academic advising reflects the institutional goal of excellence in
teaching and learning that is focused on student success. We will…
1. Continually assist students in understanding the nature, purpose
and potential of higher education.
2. Ensure that students have access to knowledgeable and informed
advisors who demonstrate care and respect.
3. Mentor students as they explore and clarify their values and
educational and life goals.
4. Provide accurate information about educational opportunities,
requirements, policies and procedures.
5. Collaborate with students on the development and implementation of academic plans and educational experiences congruent
with the student’s interests and abilities.
6. Communicate regularly with students to monitor and evaluate
their educational progress.
7. Teach students to utilize university resources to maximize their
unique educational and personal potential.
8. Improve university-wide academic advising via an ongoing
assessment program.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Students are our most important clients.
The quality and completeness of their
education is our top priority.
We have the responsibility to
students, staff, and faculty to help them
grow personally and professionally.
We have a responsibility to society
to contribute to its social, aesthetic,
and economic well-being.
Our social responsibility extends to
offering informed criticism even when
that criticism may not be well received,
and we maintain an internal environment that will nurture this important
contribution.
Flexibility, change, and constant
improvement are essential to our
continued success.
In instruction, research, and service
activities, we honor and impart principles of academic honesty, freedom, and
integrity.
Diversity is a key to our success. Not
only are our doors open to men and
women alike without regard to race,
ethnicity, personal belief, disability, or
sexual preference, we also have a moral
obligation to open the doors wider for
any groups that are under-represented or
that have suffered from discrimination.
GUIDELINES
The highest aspiration of a university is
to free people’s minds from ignorance,
prejudice, and provincialism and to
stimulate a lasting attitude of inquiry.
Oregon State University shares this
aspiration with universities everywhere.
Accordingly, Oregon State University
accepts the charge of the Oregon State

students so that they will acquire the
knowledge, skills, and wisdom for: (a)
personal development and enrichment,
particularly through arts and letters; (b)
responsible participation in a democratic
society; (c) an understanding of the
scientific methodology that has wrought
a revolution in the ways of knowing and
the extent and application of knowledge; and (d) an understanding of other
cultures and natures as well as our own.
Oregon State University’s basic goal is
to create a better academic environment
for the intellectual and humane
development of the men and women of
the academic community and to
maintain OSU as a center in which the
freedoms to think, to learn, to relate, to
experiment, and to develop standards of
criticism and excellence are encouraged.

HISTORY
Founded in 1858 as a small, private
academy called Corvallis College,
Oregon State University has developed
into a major teaching, research, and
public service institution.
College-level courses were introduced
into the curriculum about 1865, and two
men and one woman fulfilled the
requirements for baccalaureate degrees
in 1870, becoming the first graduates of
a state-assisted college in the western
United States.
In its early days, Corvallis College was
maintained by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and was only partly
state-supported. The state assumed
complete control in 1885.
With the assumption of state control,
the college became known as Oregon
Agricultural College. The name was
changed to Oregon State College in the
1920s and to Oregon State University on
March 6, 1961.
In designating Corvallis College as
Oregon’s agricultural institution, the
state legislature accepted the provisions
of the Morrill Act, signed into law by
President Abraham Lincoln on July 2,
1862. The act provided grants of land to
be used by states for the sole purpose of
endowing, supporting, and maintaining
publicly controlled colleges.
State assistance to higher education in
Oregon started on October 27, 1868,
when Corvallis College was designated
as “the agricultural college of the state of
Oregon.”
Following designation of the college
as a land grant institution, agriculture
was added to the existing arts and
science curriculum in 1869. The
curriculum continued to expand, with
professorships in commerce (1880),
agriculture (1883), household economy
(1889), and engineering (1889) resulting
in the establishment in 1908 of the
professional schools of commerce,
agriculture, home economics, and
engineering. The first summer session
was also held in 1908.
Curricular growth continued with the
schools of forestry (1913), mines (1913),
pharmacy (1917), education (1918),
basic arts and sciences (1922), and
health and physical education (1931).
In 1932, the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education established the School
of Science for the state system at
Corvallis, eliminated the School of
Mines, and reduced the School of Health
and Physical Education to a division.
Major work in business administration
was discontinued but was reinstated
when the College of Business was
established (first as a division) in 1943.
The College of Liberal Arts was established (as the School of Humanities and
Social Sciences) in 1959, and the College
of Oceanography was created (as a
school) in 1972 (now the College of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences). The
College of Health and Physical Education (now the College of Health and
Human Sciences) was reinstated
(as a school) in 1974, and the College of
Veterinary Medicine was established
(as a school) the following year. In 1983,
all schools of the university, except the
School of Education, were redesignated
as colleges. In 1989, the School of
Education became a college. In 1991, the
College of Education merged with the
College of Home Economics, and within
the College of Home Economics and
Education, being renamed the School of
Education in the merger process. In 1995
the University Honors College was
established. In 2002, the College of
Health and Human Performance and the
College of Home Economics and
Education were merged into the College
of Health and Human Sciences. As part
11
of this restructuring, the new School of
Education became an independent
academic unit. In 2005, the School of
Education was renamed the College of
Education.
Presidents of the institution since its
founding are:
1. William A. Finley, 1865–72;
Joseph Emery, 1872 (acting);

Certificate program (undergraduate): A specified interdisciplinary
program of study leading to an official
certificate and notation on the transcript. A certificate program draws from
more than one department, rather than
a single department (as with most
minors). The certificate program must be
taken in conjunction with a formal
degree program. An undergraduate
certificate requires a minimum of
27 credits.
Certificate program (post-baccalaureate): A specified program of study of
undergraduate courses leading to an
official certificate and notation on the
transcript. A completed baccalaureate
degree program is required. A postbaccalaureate certificate program
requires a minimum of 27 credits.
Certificate program (graduate): A
structured progression of graduate-level
courses that constitute a coherent body
of study with a specific defined focus
within a single discipline or a logical
combination of disciplines. It is designed
for students who have completed a
baccalaureate degree and are in pursuit
of advanced-level learning. A graduate
certificate requires a minimum of
18 graduate credits.
Certificate program (professional):
Site-based training and professional
development certificate that is not
transcript visible.
Course: An organized unit of instruction or research. Types include lectures,
recitations, laboratories, discussions,
internships, clerkships, reading and
conference, independent study, and
other categories of courses.
Credit: Credits vary, depending upon
the type of course and level at which it
is offered. One credit is generally given
for three hours per week of work in and
out of class. For example, each hour of
class lecture is generally expected to
require two hours of work out of class.
One credit hour would be given for a
lecture course that met for one
50-minute period each week over a
10-week period; i.e., 10 contact hours
between faculty and students. One credit
is typically given for a laboratory course
that meets for two to three hours per
week for an entire term. Equivalent
credits are given for recitations, discussions, and other types of courses. All
credits given in the General Catalog refer
to quarter credits.

program.] The conditions and conferral
of the award are governed by the faculty
and ratified by the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education.
First professional degree: An
academic award granted for an instructional program the completion of
which: (1) signifies completion of the
academic requirements to begin practice
in the profession; (2) requires at least
two years of full-time equivalent college
level work prior to entrance; and
(3) usually requires a total of at least five
years of full-time equivalent academic
work to complete the degree program,
including prior required college-level
work plus the length of the professional

100–110 and 200–210: Survey or
foundation courses in the liberal arts
and sciences
401/501/601: Research and Scholarship
402/502/602: Independent Study
403/503/603: Thesis/Dissertation
404/504/604: Writing and Conference
405/505/605: Reading and Conference
406/506/606: Special Problems/Special
Projects
407/507/607: Seminar
408/508/608: Workshop
409/509/609: Practicum/Clinical Experience
410/510/610: Internship/Work Experience
Sequence: Two, three, or four closely
related courses that are usually taken in
numerical order and through more than
one term.
Skills courses: Baccalaureate core
courses designed to give the student
fundamental mathematical, communication, and fitness competence.
Special topics courses (X99). Like
reserved numbered courses above,
special topics courses may be repeated
without limit by students. It is implied
that the course content is different each
time the student takes the course.
Synthesis courses: Baccalaureate core
upper-division courses that emphasize
interdisciplinary, critical thinking
approaches to global, technological, and
societal issues.
Term: Usually one-third of the school
year. Terms at OSU are divided into fall,

an 8- or 11-week session during the
summer.
Upper-division courses: Course
offerings at a level of preparation usually
associated with junior or senior students
(e.g., 300- and 400-level courses).
Waive: This term refers to decisions of
advisors to “waive” a course or courses
in a student’s program. Typical reasons
include transfer credit for equivalent
courses, equivalent experience in the
profession or discipline, and petitioning
for and successfully completing an
examination. Waiving courses usually
does not decrease the total credits
required for completion of the degree or
program; students should discuss this
with their advisor.
Writing Intensive Courses (WIC):
Designated upper-division courses in the
major discipline that use student writing
as a significant approach to learning.
WIC courses must meet a variety of
requirements, as do other courses in the
baccalaureate core.

achievement, creativity, initiative,
motivation, leadership, persistence,
service to others, intellectual curiosity,
exceptional personal or academic
recognition, unusual talent or ability,
substantial experience with other
cultures, and ability to overcome
significant challenges.

19
ACCEPTANCE OF CREDIT
FROM A TWO-YEAR
INSTITUTION
(OSU Academic Regulation 2):
Academic Regulation 2. Credit From A
Two-Year Institution (Undergraduate
Students)
a. College Transfer Credits: Oregon
State University accepts for credit
toward a baccalaureate degree all
college transfer work completed at
an Oregon or other accredited
community college up to 124 lowerdivision credits. 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 Associates of Arts
Oregon Transfer degree) or who
have 90 or more quarter credits
accepted in transfer will be granted
junior standing.* 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; see AR 25. In addition,
they must complete the upperdivision Synthesis and WIC areas of
the core. Students transferring from
Oregon or other accredited community colleges who do not hold
approved direct transfer degrees will
be given baccalaureate core credit in
the Perspectives and Skills areas on a
course-by-course basis for work that
is judged to be equivalent in
content. They must complete upperdivision Synthesis courses.
*Such standing does not necessarily
imply that OSU institutional, college or
division, and departmental requirements, normally satisfied by OSU
students prior to their junior year, have
been satisfied.
b. Transfer of Professional-Technical
Course Credits: A maximum of
124 quarter credits (83 semester
credits) may be transferred from an
accredited two-year or community
college to OSU. 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.
c. Transfer of Equivalent Professional-Technical Course Credits:
Lower-division credit for specific
professional-technical community
college courses may be awarded for
equivalent OSU course work when
equivalency is validated by the OSU
20
Oregon State University
department offering the equivalent
course work. This may be above the
12 quarter credits of general
electives (graded as Pass) allowed
when a student is admitted to OSU.
Community college course work is
not equivalent to upper-division
OSU course work. Equivalent credit
will be awarded only upon the
recommendation of the appropriate
department and college, and
approval by the Academic Requirements Committee. If the professional-technical community college
course and the equivalent OSU
course vary in credits, the number
of course credits that may be
granted will be the lesser of the two.
These course credits will count as
part of the 124 credits defined in
paragraph 2.a. above.
PETITION FOR
ADMISSION CONSIDERATION
Transfer students not approved for
admission may complete the extended
admission requirements and will be
provided with information about the
petition procedure. Deadlines are in
effect each term for appeals.
NONDEGREE STATUS
Nondegree enrollment status is designed
for students who want to take courses
but do not want to pursue a degree. In
some instances nondegree students may
not meet regular admission requirements. Nondegree students are part-time
students who are expected to enroll in
no more than 8 credits a term. Students
who want to enroll for more than
8 credits a term must apply for regular
admission.
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, if
applicable to a degree, after formal
admission.
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 Schedule of Classes. 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 Memorial
Union.
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
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
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Credits earned as a nondegree
undergraduate student may be used
to satisfy degree requirements upon
admission as a degree-seeking
student.
d. Credits earned while enrolled as a
nondegree graduate student will not
necessarily apply to a graduate
program upon admission to degreeseeking status. Communication
with the Graduate School and
specific academic programs is
advised.
e. 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
International students must apply for
nondegree status through the Office of
Admissions. The nondegree international undergraduate student category is
designed to aid the enrollment of a
student who at the time of application is
not planning to complete degree
requirements at OSU, but is qualified for
regular admission. Based on their visa
status, students may be required to
maintain a full-time course load of
12 quarter credits or more while
attending OSU (which may include
English Language Institute courses).
Please see Admission of International
Students for further information on
admission requirements.
SELECT A MAJOR
Undergraduates and postbaccalaureate
applicants are asked to select a college
and a major within that college. The
University Exploratory Studies Program
is a choice available to undergraduates
who are undecided about a major.
Students may change their major in
consultation with an academic advisor.
ADMISSION OF
POSTBACCALAUREATE
STUDENTS
OSU Baccalaureate Students
Students whose baccalaureate degrees
were from OSU may reenroll and
reactivate their records for additional
degrees, credentials, majors, options,
minors and certificates by contacting the
Registrar’s Office. Statuses are reactivated
to the academic programs under which
students were last enrolled. Students will
then need to seek permission for the
new credentials by using the Declaration
of Subsequent Credentials Form.
If the student is seeking a credential
only, the course work will be reflected
on the nondegree academic level. After
the student has completed his or her
credential, the course work will be
moved to the undergraduate academic
level.
If the student is seeking a degree, the
course work will be reflected on the
postbaccalaureate academic level.

Students who want to earn a subsequent
undergraduate degree but whose
baccalaureate degrees were not from
OSU may apply for postbaccalaureate
admission through the Office of
Admissions. Applicants for consideration
must meet the same application
deadline and GPA requirements as
transfer applicants. The GPA is computed on the first baccalaureate degree
plus any subsequent credit earned.
Applicants must include a statement of
objectives of 150 to 200 words with their
application. A $50.00 application fee
must be included with application.
Academic departments may impose

absent four or more terms, not including
summer terms, should contact the
Registrar’s Office to reactivate their
records. All others may proceed with
registration following the registration
instructions in the current Schedule of
Classes.
Re-enrolling students who have
attended another college or university
since their last term at OSU are required
to report that enrollment at the time of
reentry. Official transcripts must be
forwarded to the Office of Admissions.
Students with transfer work with less
than a 2.00 GPA are reminded of the
graduation requirements, which
stipulate that an overall 2.00 GPA is
needed in all college work.
All re-enrolling students are reminded
of their responsibility to update any
outdated information in their OSU
records. Current addresses will be
needed. Contact the Registrar’s Office for
changes to records.
Earning a Degree at Oregon State University
UNIVERSITY DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS
Current degree requirements are printed
each year in the “Academic Regulations
and Procedures” section of the Registration Information Handbook and in the
electronic or printed General Catalog,
along with other information on a wide
range of topics from minimum credits
for full-time status to adding courses. All
students are encouraged to review this
part of the Registration Information
Handbook and electronic or printed
General Catalog each year for the most
current information about OSU requirements and procedures.
Students with questions about
baccalaureate degree requirements are
encouraged to contact their advisor.
Students needing assistance in selecting
a major or selecting an advisor may wish
to call or stop by the college office.
THE BACCALAUREATE
EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University is committed to
creating an atmosphere of intellectual
curiosity, academic freedom, diversity,
and personal empowerment. This will
enable everyone to learn with and from
others. This compelling learning
experience celebrates knowledge;
encourages personal growth and
awareness; acknowledges the benefits of
diverse experiences, world views,
learning styles, and values; and engenders personal and societal values that
benefit the individual and society.
OSU will develop curricula based on
sound disciplinary knowledge and input
from practitioners. Students acquire
skills and knowledge for a lifetime of
learning, and will be involved in
scholarly and creative pursuits.
The baccalaureate degree includes:
• the baccalaureate core
• an in-depth study in at least one
major; and
• individual elective courses.
Minors are available in many areas and
are required in certain programs.
Students should check departmental
requirements.
THE BACCALAUREATE CORE
The baccalaureate core emphasizes
writing, critical thinking, cultural
diversity, the arts, sciences, literature,
lifelong fitness, and global awareness.
The purpose of the writing intensive
requirement is to insure that each
graduate is prepared to write in the
discourse, conventions, and genres of his
or her major field.
A student completing requirements
for two majors including double degrees
as well as dual majors (one degree with
two majors) may request that one WIC
course satisfy the WIC requirement for
graduation in both majors. This
opportunity is available if and only if:
1. The discourse, written conventions,
and genres of the two majors are
closely related, and
2. The substitution of a WIC course
from one major for that in another
major is approved in writing by the
chairs or heads of both departments
involved and the approval is placed
in the student’s academic file.
Students and advisors should be aware
that in some cases, the WIC course in a
major is an integral part of the degree
and substitution may not be appropriate. The final decision rests with the
department chair or head.
Included are 48 credits plus a writing
intensive course of at least 3 credits in
the major. The course categories are
listed below.
Individual courses are listed later in
this section.

MAJOR PROGRAM
In-depth study in at least one area is
required in each baccalaureate degree.
Major requirements often include not
only courses within the given discipline
but also necessary prerequisites and
work in related areas.
Students must satisfy all the requirements of their major department and
major college. The dean’s certification of
fulfillment of all requirements of the
major college is required.
TOTAL CREDITS
A baccalaureate degree program with
one or more majors must be at least
180 total credits. Several baccalaureate
degree programs require more credits.
Departments should be contacted for the
most current information.
UPPER-DIVISION COURSES
A minimum of 60 credits of the total
number (must be in courses numbered
300 and/or 400). (Courses numbered
500 or 600 may also be counted in the
60-credit upper-division requirement,
but they may not simultaneously be
counted for graduate degree requirements.) A minimum of 36 credits must
be taken in each major, including at
least 24 upper-division credits.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Students must attain a minimum
cumulative OSU GPA of 2.00. Refer to
the Grades, Regulations, and Records
section of this catalog for grade point
information.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Oregon State University expects students
to maintain satisfactory academic
progress toward degree completion. At
the conclusion of each term, grade point
averages are calculated and academic
standings determined for students
seeking a baccalaureate degree according
to the criteria outlined in the Grades,
Regulations, and Records section of this
catalog.
ACADEMIC RESIDENCE
REQUIREMENT
1. A minimum of 45 of the last
75 credits must be completed while
the student is in academic residence
at OSU. “Academic Residence” is
defined as OSU courses taken as a
degree-seeking student of OSU or
courses through one of the following approved special programs:
Professional degree programs which
require that the student enroll in
another institution while finishing
the bachelor’s degree at OSU or an
international study program
sponsored by the Oregon University
System.

Oregon State University
2. A minimum of 15 upper-division
credits used to meet the preceding
residency requirement (#1 above)
must be taken in each of the
student’s majors.
3. Credits earned by special examination for credit (AR 23) are not
considered in academic residence.
RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS
Re-enrolling students are reminded that
graduation requirements may have
changed. Students are responsible for
consulting their college for changes in
their curriculum. If a program has been
discontinued, students cannot expect to
continue pursuit of that program. Reenrolling students are also reminded
that individual retention and reenrollment standards of specific colleges
may be in effect.
APPROVED
BACCALAUREATE CORE
COURSES

are available to meet core requirements.
Students must complete a total of
48 credits plus a Writing Intensive
Course (WIC) of at least 3 credits.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Oregon community college students
entering OSU fall term 1990 or thereafter, having completed the Associate of
Arts (AA) degree (meeting the OUSOregon Community College block
transfer agreement) will automatically
have satisfied all the lower-division
requirements of the baccalaureate core.
TRANSFER CREDITS
Decisions on transfer courses meeting
specific baccalaureate core or 1988–90
general education requirements will be
made by the Office of Admissions with
the Faculty Senate and the Office of
Academic Programs. Some requirements
may be met by advanced placement. For
more information, contact the Office of
Admissions. Articulation tables for
baccalaureate core courses can be found
on the web at http://osu.orst.edu/dept/
admindb/arttable/scr1140_arttab.htm.
OREGON TRANSFER
MODULE–OSU VERSION
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)
provides a one-year curriculum for
students who plan to transfer to a state
of Oregon two-year or four-year college/
university of higher education. The
Oregon Transfer Module is neither a
certificate nor a degree; it represents the
successful completion of certain general
education courses. OTM completion will
be noted in the student’s record. The
Oregon Transfer Module documents that a
student has met a subset of the common
general education requirements at all
Oregon community colleges and Oregon
University System institutions.
The Oregon Transfer Module requirements at Oregon State University are:
• 45 lower-division credits—a
minimum of 12 credits must be
OSU course work according to the
attached list
• Minimum grade of C– for each
course
• Minimum cumulative GPA 2.0 at
time Oregon Transfer Module is
completed
• Students are allowed 3 S/U credits
per full time term or a maximum of
9 S/U credits in the Oregon Transfer
Module.
OSU students planning to complete the
Oregon Transfer Module must file the
OTM Completion Application with the
Registrar’s Office. Students should fill
out the form when the module is
completed or they are in the last term of
completion.
Upon successful review and completion of the Oregon Transfer Module a
notation will be added to the student’s
record indicating the module is complete and the date. The notation will
appear on the transcript as follows:

PRACTICUM COURSES
AND INTERNSHIPS
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to and continuation in certain courses and programs at
the university, particularly practicum
courses and internships. The university
may find it necessary to evaluate a
person’s behavior and background to
determine the ability to maintain the
standards of professional conduct which
are necessary in some disciplines. An
evaluation may take into consideration
current performance as well as past
experiences and actions which could
effect the ability to perform in the
particular course or program.
OTHER GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
BA Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred
for broad and liberal education in
humanities, arts, social science, and
sciences. Requirements for the BA degree
differ significantly from those for a
Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in the
same department. Many departments
offer only one or the other of the two
baccalaureate degrees. Check departmental curricula for detailed information.
The BA degree requires foreign language
proficiency equivalent to that attained at
the end of the second year course in the
language as certified by the Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures.
Concurrent Baccalaureate Degrees
Students may concurrently earn two or
more bachelor’s degrees; for example, a
BA or BS with the same or different
major.
Students must:
1. Meet the institutional, college, and
departmental requirements of the
curricula represented by the degrees;
2. Complete for each additional degree
a minimum of 32 credits more than
the requirements of the curriculum
requiring the least number of
credits;
3. Complete each additional 32 credits
in residence.
Subsequent Baccalaureate Degrees
A student who has previously earned a
bachelor’s degree from OSU may receive
a second such degree if all requirements
are met. The minimum of 32 credits may
be completed at any time.
Students with a baccalaureate
degree(s) from an accredited institution
other than Oregon State University may
be granted a baccalaureate degree from
OSU upon satisfying the college and
departmental requirements of the
curriculum represented by the degree.
Such a student also may obtain concurrent degrees from Oregon State University by satisfying the requirements for
concurrent degrees.
A student seeking a concurrent or
subsequent baccalaureate degree(s) also
must satisfy the university’s residence
requirements.
Subsequent Credentials: Minors,
Certificates, Options, and Majors
A student who has received a previous
bachelor’s degree either from OSU or
from another accredited university or
college may be granted a subsequent
minor or certificate by completing
current requirements for a minor or
certificate, receiving the dean’s approval,
achieving a minimum 2.00 OSU
cumulative grade point average on work
taken for the subsequent credential, and
taking a minimum of 15 credits of OSU
course work applied to the subsequent
credential. A student who has received a
previous bachelor’s degree from OSU
may be granted a subsequent option or
major by completing current requirements for the option or major, receiving
the dean’s approval, achieving a
minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point
average on work taken for the subsequent credential, and taking a minimum
of 15 credits of OSU course work applied
to the subsequent credential.
Requirements for Certificates
See individual certificate programs
described in this catalog.
31
Requirements for
Advanced Degrees
For advanced degree requirements see
the Graduate School section of this
catalog or contact the Graduate School.
Students who take courses they wish to
apply toward an advanced degree before
they have received baccalaureate degrees
may have a limited number of credits
reserved by petition. Also see Reserving
Credits in the Graduate School section.
A graduate student also may obtain
baccalaureate degrees from Oregon State
University by satisfying the requirements for subsequent degrees.
APPLYING FOR GRADUATION
Students should consult with their
advisor to check progress toward
graduation requirements. Progress will
be based on the formally declared major,
options, minors, degree, and other
applicable requirements. Applications
should be obtained and filed in the
Office of the Registrar two terms before
expected graduation so progress can be
monitored each term.
Once the application has been filed,
the Office of the Registrar will audit and
return two copies to the college each
term–one for the advisor and one for the
student. Students who wish to have
minors or options shown on their
transcript must indicate the minors or
options they intend to complete when
filing the application to graduate.
It is important that the student
submit the application before the final
quarter so he or she has time to complete any deficiencies prior to the last
quarter. Students who wish to change
graduation dates after the first application must file the change in the Office of
the Registrar before the final quarter.
Degrees are granted at the end of each
quarter, and students are encouraged to
attend the June commencement
exercises.
DEGREES WITH DISTINCTION
Grade point averages are computed on
the basis of all work attempted at OSU.
Graduates who have been in attendance
at OSU for at least two years are awarded
degrees with distinction as follows:
Summa cum laude: 3.85–4.00 GPA
Magna cum laude: 3.70–3.84 GPA
Cum laude: 3.50–3.69 GPA
These distinctions are noted on diplomas.

student seeks change of status.
Enrollment of Spouse and
Dependent Children (580-010-086)
The spouse and dependent children of
regular department staff members with a
full-time equivalent of at least .50 may
enroll as students at resident fee rates in

Student Exchanges (580-010-085)
1. (a) Under the WICHE student
exchange program, certification of
students as Oregon residents for
purposes of attending institutions
not under board control or in other
states shall be guided by rules set
forth in Division 10. In order to be
considered for WICHE certification,
the student’s completed application
must be received by the certifying
officer on or before October 15 of
the year preceding admission. An
application received after that date
in an envelope postmarked not later
than October 15 will be deemed to
have been received on the 15th.
Residency shall be determined as of
the date of the application for
WICHE certification, not as of the
date of expected admission or
registration to an institution.
(b) Persons applying for WICHE
certification must be certified as
Oregon residents and placed in
ranked preference order within each
program. Ranked preference order is
determined by a score based on the
grade point average of all college
work plus .25 times the number of
years of residence in Oregon up to a
maximum of ten years.
2. (a) The department and separate
institutions may enter into
agreements with individual
institutions in other states or other
countries whereby resident students
specified by name in the Oregon

other institution, and an equal
number of students specified by
name from the other institution
may transfer to the Oregon
institution with a reciprocal waiving
of additional fees ordinarily assessed
to nonresident students in both
institutions.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
DEFINITIONS (580-010-0029)
For the purpose of OAR 580-010-0030
through 580-010-0045, the following
words and phrases mean:
1. “Domicile” is a person’s true, fixed,
and permanent home and place of
habitation. It is the place where a
person intends to remain and to
which the person expects to return
when the person leaves without
intending to establish a new
domicile elsewhere. In order to
establish a domicile in Oregon, a
person must maintain a predominant physical presence in Oregon
for 12 consecutive months after
moving to the state.
2. A “financially independent person”
is a person who, at the time of
application for residency status:
a. declares himself or herself to be
financially independent;
Fees and Residency Requirements
b. has not been claimed as a
dependent during the immediately preceding tax year, and will
not be claimed as a dependent
during the current tax year, on
the federal or state income tax
returns of any other person; and
c. has not received in the immediately preceding calendar year, and
will not receive during the current
calendar year, one-half or more of
his or her support, in cash or in
kind, from another person or
persons, except for support
received from his or her spouse.
3. A “financially dependent person” is
a person who, at the time of
application for residency status:
a. declares himself or herself to be
financially dependent; and
b. has been claimed as a dependent
on the federal and state income
tax returns of another person
during the immediately preceding
tax year.
DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCE
(580-010-0030)
1. For purposes of admission and
instruction fee assessment, OUS
institutions shall classify a student
as Oregon resident or nonresident.
In determining resident or nonresident classification, the primary issue
is a person’s intent in coming to
Oregon. Intent is inferred from a
person’s conduct and history as they
relate to the requirements of these
residency rules. If a person is in
Oregon primarily for the purpose of
obtaining an education, that person
will be considered a nonresident. It
is possible for an individual to
qualify as a resident of Oregon for
purposes of voting or obtaining an
Oregon driver’s license and not
meet the residency requirements
established by these rules.
2. An Oregon resident is a financially
independent person who, prior to
the term for which Oregon resident
classification is requested, has both:
a. established and maintained a
domicile in Oregon as provided
under OAR 580-010-0029(1) for
12 consecutive months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a
college student.
3. A student may be considered
primarily engaged in educational
activities regardless of the number
of hours for which the student is
enrolled. However, a student who is
enrolled for more than 8 hours in
any semester or quarter during the
12-month period referred to in
section (2) of this rule shall be
presumed to be in Oregon for
primarily educational purposes.
Such period of enrollment shall not
be counted toward the establishment of a bona fide domicile of
12 consecutive months in this state
unless the student proves, in fact,
establishment of a bona fide
domicile in this state primarily for
purposes other than educational.
4. An Oregon resident is also a
financially dependent person who is
claimed as a dependent by another
person who has both:
a. established and maintained an
Oregon domicile as provided
under OAR 580-010-0029(1) for
12 consecutive months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a
college student.
5. A financially dependent person who
is claimed as a dependent by
another person who has not
established and maintained an
Oregon domicile shall be presumed
to be a non-resident. This presumption may be overcome by evidence
of the student’s long-standing
presence in Oregon and demonstration of other factors under OAR
580-010-0031.
6. The criteria for determining Oregon
resident classification shall also be
used to determine whether a person
who has moved from Oregon has
established a non-Oregon residence.
7. If institution records show that the
residence of a student or the person
upon whom the student is dependent is outside of Oregon, the
student shall continue to be
classified as a nonresident until
entitlement to resident classification
is shown. The burden of showing
that the residence classification
should be changed is on the student
requesting the change.
8. Notwithstanding section (4) of this
rule, a student who is financially
dependent on a non-Oregon
resident may nonetheless be
considered an Oregon resident if the
student resides in Oregon for at
least 12 consecutive months with a
parent or legal guardian who has
both:
a. established and maintained an
Oregon domicile under OAR 580010-0029(1) for 12 consecutive
months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a
college student.
37
RESIDENCY CONSIDERATION
FACTORS (580-010-0031)
1. The following factors, although not
necessarily conclusive or exclusive,
have probative value in support of a
claim for Oregon resident
classification:
a. Reside in Oregon for 12 consecutive months prior to the beginning of the term for which
resident classification is sought
and during that period be
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of a college
student;
b. Reliance upon Oregon resources
for financial support;
c. Domicile in Oregon of persons
legally responsible for the
student;
d. Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Oregon; and
e. Ownership by the person of his or
her living quarters in Oregon.
2. The following factors, standing
alone, do not constitute sufficient
evidence to effect classification as
an Oregon resident:
a. Voting or registration to vote;
b. Employment in any position
normally filled by a student;
c. The lease of living quarters;
d. Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Oregon;
e. Automobile registration;
f. Public records, for example, birth
and marriage records, Oregon
driver’s license;
g. Continuous presence in Oregon
during periods when not enrolled
in school;
h. Ownership of property in Oregon
or the payment of Oregon income
or other Oregon taxes; or
i. Domicile in Oregon of the
student’s spouse.
3. Reliance upon non-Oregon resources for financial support is an
inference of residency in another
state.
EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL
DEPENDENCY (580-010-0033)
1. In determining whether a student is
financially dependent, a student
must provide:
a. Evidence of established domicile
as provided under OAR 580-0100029(1) of the person claiming
the student as a dependent; and
b. The identification of the student
as a dependent on the federal and
state income tax returns of the
person claiming the student as a
dependent. Additional
documentation to substantiate
38
Oregon State University
dependency during the current
calendar year may be required at a
later time if deemed necessary by
the institution.
2. A student who provides evidence
that he or she is a financially
dependent person under these rules
shall not be required to establish a
12-month domicile prior to classification of resident status, provided
such a student may not be classified
as a resident while receiving
financial assistance from another
state or state agency for educational
purposes.
RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION OF
ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL
(580-010-0035)
1. For purposes of this rule, members
of the armed forces means officers
and enlisted personnel of:
a. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard of the
United States;
b. Reserve components of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard of the United
States;
c. The National Guard of the United
States and the Oregon National
Guard.
2. Notwithstanding OAR 580-0100030, active members of the armed
forces and their spouses and
dependent children shall be
considered residents for purposes of
the instructional fee if the members:
a. Reside in this state while assigned
to duty at any base, station, shore
establishment, or other facility in
this state;
b. Reside in this state while serving
as members of the crew of a ship
that has an Oregon port of shore
establishment as its home port or
permanent station; or
c. Reside in another state or a
foreign country and file Oregon
state income taxes no later than
12 months before leaving active
duty.
3. An Oregon resident entering the
armed forces retains Oregon
residence classification until it is
voluntarily relinquished.
4. An Oregon resident who has been
in the armed forces and assigned on
duty outside of Oregon, including a
person who establishes residency
under section (2)(c) of this rule,
must, within a reasonable time,
demonstrate an intent to retain
classification as an Oregon resident.
Such intent may be shown by
returning to Oregon within six
months after completing service in
the armed forces.
5. A person who continues to reside in
Oregon after separation from the
armed forces may count the time
spent in the state while in the
armed forces to support a claim for
classification as an Oregon resident.
6. The dependent child and spouse of
a person who is a resident under
section (2) of this rule shall be
considered an Oregon resident.
“Dependent child” includes any
child of a member of the armed
forces who:
a. Is under 18 years of age and not
married, otherwise emancipated
or self-supporting; or
b. Is under 23 years of age, unmarried, enrolled in a full-time course
of study in an institution of
higher learning, and dependent
on the member for over one-half
of his/her support.

Grades, Regulations, and Records
GRADING SYSTEM
Grades
The grading system consists of:
• A = Exceptional, 4.0 grade points
per credit.
• A– = 3.7 grade points per credit.
• B+ = 3.3 grade points per credit.
• B = Superior, 3.0 grade points per
credit.
• B– = 2.7 grade points per credit.
• C+ = 2.3 grade points per credit.
• C = Average, 2.0 grade points per
credit.
• C– = 1.7 grade points per credit.
• D+ = 1.3 grade points per credit.
• D = Inferior, 1.0 grade point per
credit.
• D– = 0.7 grade point per credit.
• F = Failure, 0.0 grade point per
credit.
• G = Reserved for Graduate Credit,
no grade point per credit.
• I = Incomplete, no grade point per
credit.
• N = No Credit, no grade point per
credit.
• P = Pass, credit given, no grade
points.
• R = Thesis in Progress, credit given,
no grade points.
• S = Satisfactory, credit given, no
grade points.
• TR = Accepted Transfer Credit.
• U = Unsatisfactory, no credit or
grade points.
• W = Withdrawal (passing), no credit
or grade points.
• Y = Grade yet to be determined, no
credit or grade points.
• AUD = Audit, no credit or grade
points.
• WAU = Withdrawal from Audit, no
credit or grade points.
When a requirement of a course has not
been completed for reasons acceptable to
the instructor and the remaining course
work is passing, a report of I (incomplete) may be made and additional time
granted. The I is only granted at the
discretion of the instructor. If a student
misses the final without notification and
approval acceptable to the instructor,
the instructor will report the grade that
is appropriate for the requirements of
the course. The additional time awarded
shall in no case exceed one calendar
year. To remove the I grade, the student
must complete the deficiency within the
allotted time and the instructor will
then submit the appropriate grade. If the
student fails to complete the work
within the allotted time the instructor
has the option to either submit a
substitute grade or allow a permanent
grade of I to remain on the student’s
record. The I grade will have no effect on
the student’s grade point average.
Students may withdraw from a course.
In such cases, a grade of W is assigned. A
student who discontinues attendance in
a course without official withdrawal
receives a grade of F in the course.
Grade Points
Grade points are computed on the basis
of 4 points for each credit of A grade,
3.70 for each credit of A– grade, 3.30 for
each credit of B+ grade, 3.00 for each
credit of B grade, 2.70 for each credit of
B– grade, 2.30 for each credit of C+
grade, 2.00 for each credit of C grade,
1.70 for each credit of C– grade, 1.30 for
each credit of D+ grade, 1.00 for each
credit of D grade, .70 for each credit of
D– grade, and 0 for each credit of F.
Marks of I, W, P, N, R, S, and U are
disregarded in the computation of
points. The grade point average (GPA) is
the quotient of total points divided by
total credits; total credits are the number
of term credits in which grades A, B, C,
D, and F are received.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Satisfactory Academic Standing
(Undergraduate students)
Oregon State University expects students
to maintain satisfactory academic
progress toward degree completion. At
the conclusion of each term, grade point
averages are calculated and academic
standings determined for students
seeking a baccalaureate degree. Students
whose standings evidence a lack of
satisfactory progress will be warned of
this condition and advised to seek help
from their academic advisers.
Academic Warning: Students with a
term GPA below 2.00 will be placed on
academic warning.
Academic Probation: Students who
have completed two or more terms at
OSU and have an OSU cumulative GPA
below 2.00 will be placed on academic
probation. Students who attain a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better are
removed from academic probation.
Academic Suspension: Students who
are on academic probation and have a
subsequent term GPA below a 2.00 will
be placed on academic suspension.
Academic suspension is recorded on the
student’s academic record. Students who
are academically suspended are denied
all privileges of the institution and of all
organizations in any way connected to
it, including any university-recognized
living group. Suspended students will be
considered for reinstatement to the
university after two years or completion
of a minimum of 24 quarter credits of
transferable college level work at an
accredited college or university, with a
GPA of 2.50 or above.
The Faculty Senate Academic Standing
Committee is charged with the responsi-
bility for enforcement of the regulations
on satisfactory academic standing.
Additionally, this committee has
discretionary authority to grant
exceptions and to develop guidelines for
the administration of these regulations.
Attendance
An instructor has the privilege of
considering class participation in
arriving at a student’s grade, but it is not
intended that attendance in and of itself
normally be a factor in measuring a
student’s academic accomplishment in a
course.
Other Limitations
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to and continuation in certain courses and programs at
the university, such as practicum courses
and internships. The university may find
it necessary to evaluate a person’s
background to determine his or her
likelihood of maintaining standards of
professional conduct that are necessary
in the academic discipline or profession.
An evaluation may take into consideration current performance, as well as
past experiences and actions that could
affect a student’s ability to perform in
the particular course or program.
STUDENT CONDUCT
REGULATIONS
Oregon State University aspires to
stimulate a lasting attitude of social
responsibility and openness in our
students as well as an appreciation for
our values of accountability, diversity,
respect, and truth. Consistent with that,
all students enrolled at OSU are expected
to follow student conduct regulations
and university policies that have been
developed to govern behavior of
students as well as members of the
university community. These regulations
and policies are formulated to guarantee
each student’s freedom to learn and to
protect the fundamental rights of others.
The assumption upon which these
regulations are based is that all people
must treat others with dignity and
respect in order for scholarship to thrive.
The regulations and procedures for
disciplinary action and appeal are
available on the OSU website, http://
oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/.
Violations of the regulations subject a
student to appropriate disciplinary or
judicial action. These regulations have
been formulated by the Student Conduct
Committee, the Student Activities
Committee, the university administration, and the State Board of Higher
Education.

Financial Aid
O
regon State University has
established comprehensive aid
programs to help you and
your family meet the cost of
higher education. Most of our students
receive some form of financial aid to help
offset their expenses regardless of the
family income and assets. Aid programs
provided through the OSU Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships require the
completion of the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for federal financial aid, a
student must:
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, a national or permanent
resident of the U.S. or be in the U.S.
for other than a temporary purpose.
• Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working
toward a degree or certificate in an
eligible program, e.g. not special
admit.
• Have a valid Social Security number.
• Maintain satisfactory academic
progress as defined by Oregon State
University.
• Comply with the Selective Service
registration requirements if required.
• Have a high school diploma or a
General Education Development
(GED) certificate, pass a test approved
by the U.S. Department of Education,
meet other standards the state
establishes that are approved by the
U.S. Department of Education, or
complete a high school education in
a home school setting that is treated
as a home school or private school
under state law.
• Sign a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
certifying that you will use federal
student aid only for educational
purposes.
• Sign a statement on the FAFSA
certifying that you are not in default
on a federal student loan and that
you do not owe money back on a
federal student grant.
• Demonstrate financial need based on
the methodology written into law by
the U.S. Congress. (Except for some
loans programs.)
To determine eligibility for specific
programs, students are required to
complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. The
application is sent to the Department of
Education’s Central Processing System
that analyzes the information according
to a method prescribed by Congress. A
detailed financial analysis is then
forwarded to Oregon State University.
Parent information is required for most
undergraduate students because the U.S.
Congress has said that families have the
primary responsibility for funding
college. Your dependency status is
determined by answers to a series of
questions on the FAFSA Application.
Contact the OSU Financial Aid and
Scholarships office if you have concerns
regarding your family situation.
If the information you provide
indicates you are a dependent of your
parents, your ability and your parents
ability to contribute to your education is
evaluated. Otherwise, only your resources
are evaluated, and if married, those of
your spouse.
The major factors considered in the
evaluation of your parent’s ability to
contribute are their income, net assets
(excluding home and farm), household
size, and number in college. To evaluate
the amount you are expected to contribute, the analysis considers the amount
you earned from work in the previous
calendar year (excluding work-study
earnings), as well as a portion of assets
including cash, savings, checking
accounts, equity in real estate (excluding
farm and home), stocks, bonds, trust
funds and other securities. If you have
dependent children, your student
contribution will reflect an allowance for
the additional expenses for your dependent children.
The amount that is figured from this
needs analysis is called your Expected
Family Contribution (EFC). This figure is
then used in an equation to determine
your financial need: Cost of Education
minus your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) equals need.
Once your aid eligibility has been
established, an award package is then
assigned to meet your financial need.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Students must apply for financial aid by
completing the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
Renewal Application and list Oregon
State University as one of their first six
choices. (Federal School code is 003210.)
FAFSA applications are available online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Entering freshmen can
obtain a paper FAFSA at their high
school, community college or universities
in their area.
Oregon State University requires that
the FAFSA be completed and received at
the processor by February 28. Money is
limited and deadlines are established to
award financial aid funds.
All entering undergraduate and
graduate students are required to apply
for admission to the university before
their FAFSA will be reviewed by the
financial aid office. When your FAFSA
has been received and processed by the
Department of Education Central
Processing System, you will be mailed a
Student Aid Report (SAR) or an informa-

problem or encounter an unexpected
financial difficulty related to educational
expenses. You may borrow up to a
maximum of $250 per term.
The interest rate is 1 percent per
month on the outstanding balance and
accrues on the 15th of each month. You

attempts to meet the full need of each
student whenever possible.
Awards are based on full time
enrollment (12 credits or more for
undergraduate students, 9 for graduate
students). You must contact the OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
in writing if you are enrolled less than
full time.
The type of package you receive
depends on your need, the maximum
limits within individual aid programs,
the availability of funding, as well as the
receipt date of your aid application.
There are three types of financial aid
funds: grants and scholarships; loans;
and work-study. The policy at Oregon
State University is first to award grants
and scholarships when eligible and then
loans and work-study.

graduate assistantships and fellowships,
tuition waivers, room and board
assistance, and outside loan assistance
are also considered and included in your
total aid package to meet your established need.
A student’s aid package can be revised
at any point during the academic year
for changes including but not limited to:
changes in funding; changes in an aid
application; changes resulting from the
verification process; enrollment changes;
receipt of additional sources of funding;
changes affecting eligibility for awards.
AWARD NOTIFICATION
Students whose aid application was
received by the end of February may
expect to receive an initial award letter
by approximately April 1. Aid applications are then completed on a rolling
basis by date of receipt with award
notifications being sent out as files are
completed.
The award notification will show the
type and amount of aid available to you
for the coming school year. To reserve
these funds, the student must read, sign,
and accept the award within 30 days.
The accepted award indicates the
student has read and agrees to the terms
of the award as outlined.
Once you have been awarded financial
aid, you are responsible for notifying the
OSU Office of Financial Aid and
Scholarships in the event that you
receive any additional awards from any
other source. The OSU Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships will then
make any required revisions to your aid
package. The receipt of additional aid
may result in a reduction or elimination
of aid from university-administered
programs.
RECEIPT OF AID FUNDS
Students are required to be registered
and have their tuition and fees assessed
before aid funds can be released. All
approved financial aid funds are disbursed
at the start of each term as a credit onto
the student’s billing account. Aid funds
must be received within the term of
attendance. Payment of aid funds for the
prior term of enrollment may only be
possible if certain conditions have been
met. After eligible university charges have
been paid, any excess aid will be refunded
to the student.
Federal Work-study earnings are paid
each month by check for the hours
worked in the pay period.
Some private scholarship awards made
available to students by check will be
available at the OSU Business Affairs
Office.

Oregon State University
EXPENSES
Each year the OSU Office of Financial
Aid and Scholarships provides an
estimate of cost for attending OSU using
modest budgeting figures. The actual
amount a student will spend depends
upon their personal situation and
lifestyle choices. This estimated cost of
education figure is used to determine
need for financial aid.
The standard student budget includes
tuition and fees, room and board, books
and supplies, and miscellaneous
personal expenses. OSU uses one
standard budget for on- and off-campus
living arrangements.
2005–06 BUDGET FIGURES
Resident ...................... Tuition and fees*
Undergraduate .......................... $5,385
Graduate .................................... $9,345
Room/Board ................................ $6,930
Books/Supplies ............................ $1,401
Misc/Personal .............................. $2,262
Undergraduate Total .............. $15,978
Graduate Total ....................... $19,938
Nonresident
Tuition and fees*
Undergraduate ........................ $17,442
Graduate .................................. $15,582
Room/Board ................................ $6,930
Books/Supplies ............................ $1,401
Misc/Personal .............................. $2,262
Undergraduate Total .............. $28,035
Graduate Total ....................... $26,175
*Tuition and fees are set annually by the
Oregon University System after July 1, 2006.
Financial aid applicants are assigned the
appropriate student budget. The
standard student budget may be adjusted
for costs associated with the study
resource fee assessed to pharmacy,
engineering, and MBA students, and the
origination fee for a student loan.
Additional adjustments for child care
expenses for children 12 and under;
medical, dental and/or commuting costs;
students with disabilities; study abroad
programs; or personal computer
expenses may be considered by meeting
with a financial aid advisor.
RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS
AND WITHDRAWAL RECORD
OSU is required to calculate the return of
Title IV financial aid funds for students
that officially or unofficially withdraw
during the academic term. Students who
do not intend to complete the term for
which they are enrolled, should follow
the official withdrawal process as
outlined by university regulations. This
calculation determines the amount of
aid funds that must be returned by the
institution as well as how much aid the
student must return for the period of
nonenrollment.
If a return of aid amount is calculated,
the funds must be repaid to the financial
aid programs in the following order:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Ford
Loan
Federal Direct Ford Loans
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Federal Pell Grant
Federal SEOG
Once all financial aid programs have
been repaid (other federal, state, and
private institutional funds), and all
tuition adjustments have been finalized,
if any funds remain, only then may a
student request a refund.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Requirements
You must make academic progress
toward your degree or educational
objective to be eligible for financial aid.
We check progress after spring term and
send a letter to students who fail to meet
the minimum yearly credits requirements and deny them any future aid.
Students who do not meet requirements
summer, fall, and winter terms receive a
warning letter informing them of their
status at the end of the term.
Maximum Time Frame
You must complete your educational
program within 150 percent of the
published time allowed for the educational program. (e.g. 18 full-time terms
for undergraduate programs). We also
consider the total number of credits you
have accumulated at any post-secondary
institution. Your eligibility for financial
aid ends when:
• You reach this maximum time
frame, or
• The cumulative number of credits
you have attempted (whether or not
earned) is greater than the number
of minimum credits required for
degree completion, regardless of
whether you have received financial
aid.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships has established guidelines for
evaluating your progress, and takes into
consideration your GPA as monitored by
the University Academic Regulations for
graduation and the total credits you
have accumulated at any post-secondary
school. This standard may not be the
same as academic department or
university standards. Permission to
enroll does not equal satisfactory
academic progress.
Credits
You must complete the number of
credits for the term of attendance at
Oregon State University for which you
received financial aid funds.
• Most aid programs require full-time
enrollment, which is 12 credits per
term for undergraduates or 36 credits
for the academic year, and 9 credits
per term for graduate students or
27 credits for the year.
• Part-time students are evaluated on
the basis of their part-time enrollment and should contact the Office
of Financial Aid and Scholarships to
verify their individual status.
• Letter grades of I, F, N, and U do not
count as completed classes.
• Withdrawal and repeated courses do
not count toward earned credits for
any term.
• In addition to financial aid requirements, students must meet the
university’s academic regulations as
outlined in the OSU General Catalog
under Academic Regulations.
Appeal Process
If you fail to maintain satisfactory
academic progress requirements, you
will face financial aid probation, and/or
denial of aid.
• If aid is withheld, you can appeal to
reinstate aid by petitioning in
writing, explaining the extenuating
circumstances that caused you to
not meet the satisfactory academic
progress requirements.
• A financial aid advisor determines if
an exception will be made to allow
aid to continue based on the
petition statement, supporting
documents, and past academic
progress history.
• Appeals must be approved within
the enrollment period you are
requesting aid.
• A decision to uphold aid denial may
be appealed first to the financial aid
director. Further appeals are to the
financial aid committee and the
vice provost for Student Affairs.
REPORTING CHANGES
Your financial aid is based on the
information submitted to our office for
the current academic year in which you
requested aid. To keep your file current
and accurate, you are required to report
the changes to the OSU Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships. You
should expect a revision of your award
in most cases. Changes can include but
are not limited to:
• Additional financial assistance:
scholarships, grants, loans, fee
waivers, GI Bill, Tribal Assistance,
VA benefits and/or VA Vocational
Rehabilitation, tuition/book,
Financial Aid
•
•
•
•
•
support, social security benefits or
any other monetary award not
reported previously.
Receipt of graduate teaching or
research assistantship, and/or
fellowship.
Receipt of resident advisor position
or ROTC stipend and scholarship
Changes in enrollment hours and/
or withdrawal from the university
Changes in residency status for
tuition purposes.
Change in course load if below full
time.
ENTRANCE AND
EXIT INTERVIEW
All Federal Direct Ford loan recipients
are required to complete an entrance
interview prior to receiving the first
disbursement of their loan proceeds
(http://dlservicer.ed.gov/ or http://
www.dlssonline.com/index.asp).
They are also required to complete an
exit interview during their last term of
attendance (http://dlservicer.ed.gov/ or
http://www.dlssonline.com/index.asp).
47
APPLYING ANNUALLY
You must submit a financial aid
application (FAFSA) for each academic
year in which you want to be considered
for financial aid assistance. Oregon State
University is not obligated to continue
aid beyond the last term stated on the
award letter.
APPEALS
Students who are not satisfied with a
decision of a financial aid staff member
may appeal that decision, in writing,
and then in person to the following staff
in the order indicated: the director of
Financial Aid and Scholarships, the
Financial Aid Appeals Subcommittee,
and then the vice provost of Student
Affairs.

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Four categories of scholarships are

1. Beginning Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships for incoming
students
2. Continuing Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships for continuing
students
3. College of Agricultural Sciences
Scholarship Awards for incoming or

4. Departmental scholarships for
incoming or continuing students
These scholarships are described, in
general, here. Please contact the College
of Agricultural Sciences for more
information about Beginning and
Continuing Venture Agricultural Honors
Scholarships and College of Agricultural
Sciences Scholarship Awards, and
contact the indicated department
regarding departmental scholarships.
We urge all students to apply. Often,
many criteria other than academic

recipients.
The Agricultural Honors
Scholarship Program
The CAS must produce well-educated,
productive, and qualified professionals
in all agricultural and natural-resource
disciplines to ensure the future prosperity of Oregon’s agricultural and natural
resources.
A shortage of qualified science,
business, and technical professionals
threatens our agricultural and natural
resources. While the need for advanced
education in the agricultural industry
has grown, the supply of highly skilled
talent in the agricultural and naturalresource sciences has declined.
The Agricultural Honors Scholarship
Program is designed to attract talented
students to the CAS.
The E.R. Jackman Board and Savery
Fund of the Agricultural Research
Foundation fostered the program to
enable students to concentrate on their
studies without worrying about personal
finances. Through the Agricultural
Honors Scholarship Program, the CAS
awards about $70,000 to incoming
students and $10,000 to continuing
students each year.
Beginning Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships
Beginning venture scholarships are for
incoming CAS students, whether they
are high school seniors or are transferring from another academic institution.

OSU’s dual-admission programs with

Exhibits, lectures, concerts, and recitals
sponsored by the departments of Art
and Music, Memorial Union Program
Council, and student musical and art
organizations play a central part in the
cultural life of the community. Under
the patronage of the Memorial Union
Program Programs, exhibitions in the
Memorial Union stimulate interest in
architecture, painting, sculpture, and
related arts. They offer students knowledge of their cultural heritage and an
awareness of contemporary art movements. Student and faculty art exhibits
are shown in various galleries throughout the year (see “Museums, Galleries,
Collections.”)
Non-credit classes in ceramics,
photography, woodworking, weaving,
and glass are offered through the
Memorial Union Craft Center.
The Department of Music offers more
than two dozen performance ensembles,
giving student musicians of all majors
the opportunity to participate at their
level of ability. Students enroll in these
organizations as a class and earn regular
credit. Some ensembles require an
audition. All require a consultation with
the instructor. The Corvallis-OSU
Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Wind
Ensemble, Concert Band, Chamber
Choir, Bella Voce women’s chorus,
Meistersingers men’s chorus, jazz band,
and the athletic bands present numerous
performances on or near campus, in
which free or reduced-price tickets are
available to students. Faculty members
and advanced music majors also perform
free, public recitals throughout the
school year.
Chamber Music Corvallis and the
Corvallis-OSU Symphony Orchestra
bring artists of international fame to
campus for public concerts. The Music
à la Carte Concert series, held most
Thursdays at noon in the Memorial
Union Lounge, gives students and
faculty the opportunity to see fine
amateur and professional chamber
musicians and performance ensembles
for free over the lunch hour. Several
dance recitals are also given each year
under the auspices of the College Health
and Human Sciences and other
organizations.

Website: http://asosu.oregonstate.edu/
The Associated Students of Oregon State
University (ASOSU) is an alliance
encompassing all students at OSU. The
elected and appointed officers comprise
the officially recognized student
government at OSU. The ASOSU
represents students at the campus,
community, state, and federal levels on
issues that directly influence the quality
of, and access to, post-secondary
education. ASOSU provides numerous
opportunities for leadership development and professional experience in
areas as diverse as political organizing
and other forms of social activism.
The structure of AOSU is very familiar.
Governance is shared among three
branches–the legislative, judicial, and
executive. The legislative portion is
divided into two bodies, the Undergraduate Senate and a Graduate Senate.
Student senators are elected by popular
vote within their respective colleges
during the student officer elections near
the end of each academic year. Senate
seats are apportioned based upon the
population of each college. The judiciary
function in ASOSU is carried out by the
Judicial Board. The Judicial Board is
made up of five students who are not
otherwise involved in ASOSU. The board
oversees any controversies or cases that
involve interpretation of the ASOSU
Constitution. The executive branch is
lead by the president and vice president
whom are elected as a ticket by popular
vote of the entire student body. Upon
election, this executive duo appoints
executive officers, service directors,
10 taskforce directors, as well as various
support staff. Each executive appointee
is subject to approval by both the
Graduate and Undergraduate Senates.
ASOSU is constantly seeking volunteers and future leaders who are
ambitious about making a difference in
the lives of OSU students. There are a
number of ways to get involved in a
broad range of interests and topics. One
of the easiest ways to get involved in
ASOSU is to simply volunteer. Volunteers work at their own pace and chose
their level of involvement. The next
level of participation involves serving as
a student representative on one of the
various campus committees. There are
numerous different working committees
at OSU that govern issues ranging from
83
public safety to budgets and fiscal
planning. Students who serve on a
university committee are eligible to
receive academic credit. Students can
also earn academic credit by becoming
an ASOSU intern. Students enrolled in
the ASOSU Leadership & Social Change
Internship spend between 2 to 6 hours
per week working with any of the
various members of the executive
branch, as well as attend a class one
night a week to learn fundamental
leadership and organizing skills. The
Internship is a great way to get tapped
into campus governance at OSU.
If you are interested in getting
involved in one of the nation’s premiere
student governments, or have any
questions or concerns regarding any
other matter, please feel free to contact
ASOSU anytime.

Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS) facilitates OSU students’
education-academically, emotionally,
and socially-through high-quality, timeeffective counseling, consultation,
outreach, and training. We value the
personal worth of each individual,
respect and embrace human diversity,
and provide services that foster the
development of healthy behaviors
necessary for success in a complex global
environment.
CAPS services are intended primarily
to help students with short-term
emotional adjustment problems rather
than long-term, intensive psychological
problems. Counselors assist students
with concerns such as:
• Planning and making choices about
future careers;
• Coping with crises;
• Dealing effectively with academic
stressors;
• Fostering personal growth and
enhancing individual potential;
• Overcoming problems resulting
from trauma, personal history, or
situational crisis through timeeffective counseling or referral for
more intensive, lengthy, or specialized care.
All regularly enrolled Oregon State
University students who have paid the
Student Health and Counseling Fee are
eligible for services. Counseling and
Psychological Services is staffed by
professional counselors, social workers,
and psychologists who are especially
trained to work with university students.
Counseling is a confidential service.
Anything said to a counselor, the fact
that a student used the service, or any
test results are not disclosed to other
persons or agencies within the limitations of professional ethical and legal
standards.
Students may receive up to five
individual sessions in a fiscal year
covered by the Student Health and
Counseling Fee. A nominal fee is
charged for individual counseling
sessions beyond the fifth. Additional fees
are charged for specialized services such as
testing or psychiatric consultation.
Counseling and Psychological Services
also houses two other programs:
• Sexual Assault Support Services:
737-7604
• National Testing Program, which
administers such national tests as
the ACT, SAT, MCAT, and PRAXIS

Oregon State University’s Educational
Opportunities Program (EOP) recruits
and assists in the retention of minority,
low-income, and disabled students who
have traditionally been denied equal
access to higher education. EOP serves
those who may or may not meet the
current university admission requirements but are recognized as having the
potential to successfully complete a
college degree program.
EOP recruits within Oregon communities with concentrations of ethnic
minority and non-traditional students.
Recruited and referred students are
assisted in gaining admission to the
university.
After arrival on campus, the particular
needs of the individual student are
identified from placement tests,
academic records, and information
obtained from the student. An academic
plan of tutoring, counseling, and
advising is developed that determines
the nature of the student’s participation
in EOP. The plan is subject to continual
re-examination and may be revised at
any time by the student and staff
together.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The English Language Institute helps
provide international students with the
broad range of language, academic, and
cultural skills necessary for competent
study at an American college or university. The institute offers instruction in
English as a Second Language (ESL) in a
variety of courses: reading, writing,
speaking, listening comprehension, and
academic preparation for students who
want intensive English study and for
students conditionally admitted to OSU.
The ELI’s Learning Center has language
books, tapes, videos, software, and
writing and pronunciation assistants.
The academic experience is supplemented by social, cultural, and recreational activities. The American
conversant program arranges at least one
hour per week of conversation with
native speakers, usually university
students. Students at the ELI have the
same privileges as regularly enrolled
students in the use of campus recreational facilities, library, bookstore, and
student health and counseling services.
The English Language Institute assists
those in the profession of teaching
English to speakers of other languages
by supporting scholarship and professional development opportunities. In
addition, it serves as a local, national,
and international resource in matters
related to second/foreign language
instruction, educational technology, and
intercultural communication.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
The ELI conducts the on-campus testing
of English language proficiency for
international students who have been
conditionally admitted to OSU. (See the
international student admission
requirements in this catalog.) Based on
this language assessment, the ELI
recommends English language course
work appropriate for the individual. The
ELI also provides assistance to graduate
teaching assistants already at OSU by
evaluating their language skills, identifying deficiencies, and offering a special
course each fall for international
graduate teaching assistants.
PART-TIME OPTIONS
FOR OSU STUDENTS
The ELI provides a communication
station in the ELI Learning Center for
international students and scholars who
want to improve their oral communication without enrolling in a class.
Students can use the ELI’s specially
designed technology resources on their
own to improve their pronunciation.
OSU students may be able to benefit
from a fee splitting arrangement with
the ELI whereby they can take an ELI
class without paying extra tuition.
The ELI is partnering with the College
of Education on the TESOL Certificate
Program, providing courses and
internship opportunities.
SERVICES TO
OSU FACULTY/STAFF
Custom language enhancement courses
for international groups are also
available as elements in grants and
contracts. These courses vary in length
from two weeks to nine months and
address English for specific purposes,
such as agriculture and education, as
well as teacher training programs.

Established in 1970, the ASOSU Experimental College started out as a resource
for students, faculty, staff and surrounding community members, offering a
wide range of noncredit, non-graded
courses on a wide-variety of subjects. As
of recently, the Experimental College
has changed its direction to focus
primarily on facilitating the needs of the
various ASOSU task forces and the
students of Oregon State University, by
means of seminars and event planning.
We specialize in coordinating events,
speakers and seminars.
Typically, the services of the Experimental College come at no cost. Yet, a
material fee may be issued depending on
the situation.
The Experimental College has no
boundaries on the criteria for seminars
and events. In order to ensure that our
organization is fully representing the
needs of the students, faculty and
community members of OSU, all are
more than welcome to call or e-mail us
with ideas, questions and comments on

The Department of University Housing
and Dining Services (UHDS) provides a
diverse selection of housing and dining
alternatives—university-owned student
cooperatives, residence halls, and
student family housing—all of which
offer a variety of programs and services.
Oregon State University recognizes
the impact the living environment has
upon student life. This environment,
Services for Student Support
whether on or off campus, is an
important part of the student’s education experience. The university is
committed to providing all students in
the residential setting an integrated
program for social, cultural, and
educational development beyond the
classroom.
Students are not required to live in
university housing, but it is strongly
encouraged. We have found it is easier
for students to make friends and adjust
to university life if they live on campus
for a year or two. Students who live on
campus typically do better academically
and are more likely to continue their
education.
University Housing and Dining
Services’ main goals are to help students
succeed academically, become active
citizens of their communities, and to
enrich and enjoy their university
experience. Through the Department of
University Housing and Dining Services,
students can make arrangements for
meals and accommodations, consult
with residential life staff, bring suggestions for improvements, and receive
assistance on their concerns and
interests. Emphasis is upon helping
students achieve academic success and
providing comfortable, safe, reasonably
priced living accommodations and
programs.
RESIDENCE HALLS
Through its 12 residence halls, the
university offers a variety of living
environments, including special
program halls, designated quiet floors,
coeducational facilities, and substancefree housing and an academic success
program focus with faculty-in-residence.
• Weatherford Hall is the home of
the Austin Entrepreneurship
Program for students interested in
turning their business ideas into
reality.
• West International House offers
cultural diversity programs for U.S.
and international students.
• McNary Hall is home to Honors
College students.
• The Callahan Hall program focuses
on the First Year Experience.
• Wilson Hall is focused on engineering, math, and science.
• Finley Hall features a wellness
program.
• Halsell Hall is home to our interdisciplinary program in community
service learning.
Most student rooms are designed for
double occupancy. A limited number of
single rooms are available in each hall.
All residence halls are smoke-free.
The residence hall dining program
features an a la carte meal service, with
services offered in Marketplace West,
McNary Central, and Arnold Dining
Centers, as well as Bing’s Café located in
Weatherford Hall. Residential students
have a choice of flexible meal plans,
which can be used in any of the UHDS
operated dining facilities and cafes.
For more detailed descriptions of
residence halls and cooperative houses,
please visit the University Housing and
Dining Services’ website at http://
oregonstate.edu/uhds.
COOPERATIVE HOUSES
The seven cooperative houses at Oregon
State University provide small-group
living experiences for approximately
350 students. House capacities vary from
40 to 60. Student residents are responsible for developing their internal
governmental organizations. Incoming
students receive help from returning
cooperative members in adjusting to the
university and to the unique, dynamic
atmosphere of the cooperative. Cooperative members reduce their board-androom costs by performing work duties
for three to five hours per week in the
houses. All cooperatives are smoke-free.
Oregon State University owns and
operates four cooperative houses: Azalea
House and Oxford House for women,
and Avery Lodge for men. Dixon Lodge
is for men and women who have been
out of high school for at least a year.
Beaver Lodge and Varsity House are
independently owned and accommodate
men. All cooperative houses are
members of the InterCooperative
Association (ICA).
Information and application forms
may be obtained from the Department
of University Housing and Dining
Services or from the individual private
houses respectively.
RESIDENCE HALL AND
COOPERATIVE RESERVATIONS
Once admitted to OSU, students submit
an online application and fee to make
reservations for university-owned
residence halls and cooperatives at http:/
/oregonstate.edu/uhds. Flexible academic year contracts are available to all
students. UHDS information packets
titled Life on Campus are mailed out to
all admitted students or are available
from the Department of University
Housing and Dining Services,
541-737-4771.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
The Office of International Student and
Faculty Services (ISFS) in 444 Snell Hall
provides a wide range of programs and
services for international students and
scholars on the OSU campus. It also
offers assistance to OSU departments
hiring international faculty. At present
there are approximately 900 students
and 470 scholars from more than
90 countries at Oregon State University.
ISFS also sponsors educational and
cultural programs for the university and
Corvallis community.
The International Student and Faculty
Services (ISFS) section of International
Programs provides special assistance to
international students. The staff offers:
• Orientation programs for new
students;
• Liaison with university, community,
and international sponsors;
• Advising on immigration and other
governmental regulations, medical
insurance coverage, cultural, and
personal matters;
• Help with financial certifications for
the transfer of funds from other
countries;
• Administration of scholarship and
loan funds;
• Advice on the university’s policy of
conditional admission related to
language proficiency.
Fully admitted OSU students wishing to
improve their English language skills
may apply for the Conditional Admission Fully Admitted program, which
allows OSU international students to
take English Language Institute courses
for no additional cost. The office also
conducts workshops of interest to
international students on such issues as
practical training and re-entry, and
serves as a resource for the community
and the university on cross-cultural
awareness and concerns.
ISFS also provides leadership for a
wide variety of cross-cultural activities to
enrich the experience of international
students and scholars on campus and in
the community. Among the cooperating
organizations are:
• Crossroads International
(a community organization), which
provides three-day home visits for
new international students, Friendship Home contacts, conversation
partners, and the Crossroads
Conversation School.
• West International Hall (an OSU
residence hall for international and
US students)
• International Students of Oregon
State University (ISOSU—a student
organization)
In addition, the International Cultural
Service Program (ICSP) provides tuition
remission scholarships to a select
number of international students who
provide cultural and educational service
in the mid-Willamette Valley area. These
“cultural ambassadors” visit classes,
clubs, service organizations, churches,
nursing homes, and businesses to share
information about their countries and
cultures.
INTERNATIONAL
STUDY AND RESEARCH
In order to facilitate graduate study
abroad, the Office of International
Education & Outreach (IEO) has a
resource library that contains information about grants, scholarships, and
other forms of financial assistance for
study, work, or research abroad.
Fulbright and NSEP scholarship advisors
are also available.
Graduate students can participate in
several of the study abroad programs
offered through OSU; however, close
consultation with the Graduate School
and the student’s graduate advisor are
necessary to assure credit recognition.
For example, a program in Denmark has
been developed for MBA candidates.
Brochures are available in the Office of
International Education & Outreach on
the fourth floor of Snell Hall.
Please see the International Education
section for further information.
LECTURES
Frequent public lectures by faculty
members, visiting scholars, and persons

Oregon State University in meeting the
specific academic, social, and cultural
needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans,
Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Allied
(LGBTQQIA) students, prospective and
current. Retention of LGBTQQIA
students is the primary goal of the LGBT
Services Office. Promoting campus-based
groups that educate and raise awareness
about sexual and affectional orientation
and identities is an essential component
of the program. Equally important is the
goal of fostering relationships within
Corvallis and across surrounding
communities to help build relationships
through which LGBTQQIA students can
thrive as they pursue future educational,
career, and life goals.
The LGBT Services Office works to
empower all students by fostering
opportunities to think critically, receive
information, share knowledge and to
sustain an educational environment in
which each student has the support
needed to shape unique identities.
Growth is a natural progression of
curricular and co-curricular experiences
and the LGBT Services Office assists
students with such growth processes
through mentoring, advising, interaction and commitment.

students have the opportunity to
experience a different learning environment, to broaden social and cultural
awareness, and to live in another part of
the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico,
U.S. Virgin Islands or Canada. OSU
students who have gone on exchange
often describe the opportunity as the
highlight of their college career and one
of the most meaningful times of their
lives.

and podiatry. OSU provides opportunities for students from participating states
to major in pharmacy and veterinary
medicine.
In most programs, WICHE students
receive preference in admission and pay
resident tuition at state-supported
institutions (or reduced tuition at
private institutions). Students apply to
the certifying office in their home state
for certification in fields in which the
91
state supports its residents through the
Professional Student Exchange Program.
The student then applies for admission to the participating university of
their choice. Students from Oregon must
make application as Oregon residents
prior to October 15 of the year preceding
the academic year of anticipated
enrollment.
WICHE certification does not
guarantee admission. The WICHE
Professional Student Exchange Program
applies only to the professional years of
schooling; pre-professional study is not
included. This is not a scholarship
program, but an extension of the
educational opportunities that each
state offers its residents.
Additional information and forms for
application and certification for Oregon
resident students may be obtained by
writing to: Certifying Officer for Oregon,
WICHE Student Exchange Program,
P.O. Box 3175, Eugene, OR 97403-0175.
Or call 541-346-5718. Interested
nonresident student applicants should
contact the certifying officer in their
home state. Or visit the websites at

DIFFERENCE, POWER,
AND DISCRIMINATION
Jun Xing, Director
342 Snell Hall
541-737-2760
jun.xing@oregonstate.edu
The unequal distribution of social,
economic, and political power in the
United States and in other countries is
sustained through a variety of individual
beliefs and institutional practices. These
beliefs and practices have tended to
obscure the origins and operations of
social discrimination such that this
unequal power distribution is often
viewed as the natural order. The DPD
requirement engages students in the
intellectual examination of the complexity of the structures, systems, and
ideologies that sustain discrimination
and the unequal distribution of power
and resources in society. Such examination will enhance meaningful democratic participation in our diverse
university community and our increasingly multicultural U.S. society.
The DPD Program works to create a
more inclusive curriculum that addresses
issues of race, class, gender, sexual/
affectional orientation, ability, age, and
religious/spiritual affiliation. The
program provides faculty and staff with
the training and resources needed to
develop or modify comparative diversity
courses. The program’s mandate is to aid
faculty in developing a number of
classes that address issues of diversity
and discrimination. The DPD Program
fulfills its mandate by making course
development training and resources
available to OSU faculty. In addition,
DPD sponsors a range of activities,
including local/national guest speakers
and noon brown bag seminars, that
encourages participants to engage each
other in stimulating and lively exchanges about issues of diversity and
equity.
The DPD Program publishes a
quarterly newsletter, ReVisions, that
addresses issues specific to Oregon State
University. Regular features include
short articles by OSU faculty who have
completed the DPD seminar, faculty
development seminar information,
current program events, and recently
developed DPD courses.

The University Exploratory Studies
Program (UESP) is an academic advising
program for students who are exploring
majors at Oregon State University.
Students who are undecided about a
major can elect to enroll in UESP instead
of enrolling in an academic college
major. Students are encouraged to
declare a major as soon as they have
decided. Transferring from UESP to an
academic department can occur at any
time during the exploratory period.
Regular academic advising is particularly important for the long-term
academic success of students currently
exploring multiple options. Therefore,
all UESP students are required to obtain
academic advising prior to registration
for each term in the program. The
personal identification number or PIN
necessary for registration of UESP
students is provided at the conclusion of
the advising session.
Students in UESP receive specialized
academic advising that is focused on
decision making and are encouraged to
participate in one or more career and
major exploration experiences sponsored by the UESP staff. These services
include individual career counseling,
career workshops, DISCOVER and the
ALS 114 Career Decision Making course.
DISCOVER is a computer-based career
planning website that can help students
learn more about themselves and
occupations that may be right for them.
DISCOVER is available free of charge to
OSU students after obtaining a personal
password.
UESP’s website includes links to
information about the world of work.
Students can connect to many career
and academic major information
sources. Some of the sources are for OSU
departments, while others link to
national exploration resources.

OSU degree completion programs offered in
cooperation with community college
partners are “baccalaureate completion”
programs. Students complete two years of
community college course work followed by
two years of upper-division course work,
available through OSU Extended Campus.
Additionally, Degree Partnership Programs
(joint admission and dual enrollment
programs) are established with Central
Oregon Community College, Chemeketa
Community College, Columbia Gorge
Community College, Lane Community
College, Linn-Benton Community College,
Portland Community College, and Southwestern Oregon Community College. The

OSU SUMMER SESSION
OSU’s Summer Session is a great way to
begin, continue, or advance one’s
education. Credit courses range in length
from two days to 11 weeks, with most
courses running four and eight weeks.
Many departments also offer independent
study projects: e.g., research, reading and
conference, thesis, internship, etc.
The typical full-time summer course
load for undergraduates is 12 credits, for
graduate students, 9 credits. Undergraduates may, however, take up to 19 credits
and graduate students up to 16.
Summer classes are open to all students
who meet the course requirements.
Students who have been academically
suspended from the university are
ineligible to attend the summer session.
Students wishing to begin their degree
course work during the summer session
must apply according to admission
deadlines. For details, call the Office of
Admissions at 541-737-4411.
Nonresident students enjoy considerable tuition savings because there are no
out-of-state fees charged in the summer.
Residents and nonresidents pay the same
tuition.

OSU EXTENSION SERVICE
Oregon State University’s Extension Service
provides education and information based
on timely research to help Oregonians solve
problems and develop skills related to
youth, family, farm, forest, and marine
resources. It carries out its mission by
extending the research and knowledge
bases of the university to people who need

applying this knowledge to the problems
people have identified.
Anyone may participate in Extension
offerings. Thousands of Oregon citizens
volunteer to assist in Extension programs
by leading and teaching groups, responding
to questions, and providing educational
information. OSU students support their
communities, gain practical experience and
learn through Extension placements,
applying academic learning to address local
community needs.
Extension educational programs are
developed in response to the needs of
people in Oregon. Needs are identified by
OSU Extension faculty, who are located
throughout the state in county offices. Offcampus faculty, who work with people to
assess their needs, partner with members of
Extension’s on-campus faculty to prepare
and deliver useful educational programs.
About two-thirds of OSU’s Extension
faculty and staff are located in offices off
campus. Financial support is from county,
state, and federal governments, grants, and
other sources.
There are five major Extension education
program areas:
Agriculture
Extension’s agricultural program provides
education, training, and technical assistance to people with agriculturally related
needs and interests. Major program
emphasis is on food and fiber production,
farm business management, marketing,
