THE UNIVERSITY
Oregon State University provides diverse educational opportunities through the undergraduate and graduate programs of its 11 colleges and two schools.
Academic choices include studies in scientific, technological, interdisciplinary, and professional as well as liberal arts fields. A land grant, sea grant, space grant, and sun grant university with beginnings in the 1850s, OSU is now home to approximately 19,200 undergraduate, graduate, and first professional students, representing about 90 countries, every state in the nation and every county in the state of Oregon. In addition to its regular educational programs, the university conducts extensive research programs, administers the OSU Extension Service in each of
Oregon’s 36 counties, and maintains branch agricultural experiment stations at 11 locations throughout the state.
Further research is done by the university at its Seafood Laboratory in Astoria,
Food Innovation Laboratory in
Portland, and at the OSU Mark O.
Hatfield Marine Science Center on
Yaquina Bay in Newport.
As part of OSU’s Extended Campus-
Distance Education program, courses and degree programs are being offered throughout the state of Oregon, the nation, and the world. Working with many partners, there are currently four undergraduate degree programs, four undergraduate minors, and six graduate degree programs being delivered in a variety of locations in Oregon. OSU’s educational partners include 17 community colleges, Eastern Oregon University,
Oregon Center for Advanced Technology
Education, Oregon Health and Science

University, University of Oregon, or
Eastern Oregon University. The OSU-
Cascades website is http:// www.osucascades.edu.
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
Board of Higher Education that it provide a general education for its 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 OF OSU
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 that 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 of this restructuring, the new School of Education became an independent academic unit.
Presidents of the institution since its founding are (1) William A. Finley,
1865–72; Joseph Emery, 1872 (acting);
(2) Benjamin L. Arnold, 1872–92; John
D. Letcher, 1892 (acting); (3) John M.
Bloss, 1892–96; (4) Henry B. Miller,
1896–97; (5) Thomas M. Gatch, 1897–

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.
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, winter, and spring terms (also referred to as “quarters”). Summer term is generally 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.
READING A COURSE
DESCRIPTION
The elements of a typical course description found under department headings in the colleges that follow are illustrated by the political science course below:
PS 422H/PS 522. INTERNATIONAL
LAW (3) . Theories and historical development of international law, problems in development of classic cases. PREREQ: PS 101, PS 202, or PS 205 or PS 206. CROSSLISTED as ANTH 422/
ANTH 522. (NC)
Designator: (PS) an abbreviation representing the department, college, or program offering the course.
PS indicates that the course is offered through the Department of Political
Science.
Number: (422) indicates the level of the course. This is an upper-division, undergraduate course. 400-level courses
(PS 422) are offered for undergraduate credit, while the 500-level course
(PS 522) is offered at the graduate level.
(See Course Numbering System.)
Letter suffix: (PS 422H) H signifies an honors course, X signifies an experimental course.
Title: INTERNATIONAL LAW
Credit: (3) the number of credits awarded for successful completion of the course.
Graduate credit: All courses numbered at the 500- or 600-level may be taken for graduate credit. Courses numbered
500–599 are generally taken by master’s candidates and courses numbered
600–699 are taken by doctoral candidates.
Course description: Theories and historical development international law, problems in development of classic cases.
A brief description of what will be taught in the course.
PREREQ: PS 101, PS 102, or PS 205 or
PS 206.
These courses are the background necessary for successful performance in a course. Students may attempt a course without having prerequisites if they have obtained the consent of the instructor to do so. If consent is not obtained, then students who have not fulfilled published prerequisites may be disenrolled from the course during the first week of classes. Occasionally a course will have a
COREQ, usually indicating a course to be taken simultaneously with the course described. REQ: A requirement for that course.
CROSSLISTED: CROSSLISTED as ANTH
422/ANTH 522 means the same course is also offered through another department; course numbers, titles, descriptions, and prerequisites are the same for both courses.
DUAL LISTING: PS 422/PS 522, or
“slash” course means the course is offered at both the upper division and graduate level. Students wanting undergraduate credit take the course at the 4xx number, and students wanting graduate credit take the course at the
5xx number. Students taking the course for graduate credit will be assigned extra work and/or have their work graded against a higher standard.
REC: Means the course is recommended but not required by the instructor.
(NC): Area study requirement for students majoring in the College of
Liberal Arts. Four abbreviations are used in the college to indicate courses that
may be used to fulfill requirements in each of the areas:
(FA) F ine A rts
(H) H umanities
(NC) N on-Western C ulture
(SS) S ocial S tudies
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Throughout the Oregon University
System (OUS), courses follow this basic course numbering system:
0–99.
Noncredit or credit courses of a remedial, terminal, or semiprofessional nature not applicable toward degree requirements.
100–299.
Undergraduate, lowerdivision courses.
300–499.
Undergraduate, upperdivision courses.
500–599.
Graduate courses offered primarily in support of a master’s degree but which are also available for doctoral level credit. Undergraduates of superior scholastic achievement may be admitted on approval of the instructor and department head, and they may apply to reserve these courses for later use on a graduate degree program.
600–699.
Graduate courses offered principally in support of doctoral level instructional programs but also available for master’s program credit.
700–799.
Professional or technical courses that may be applied toward a professional degree (such as DVM or
PharmD) but not toward other graduate degrees (such as PhD).
800–899.
In-service courses aimed at practicing professionals in the discipline.
These courses may not be applied to graduate nor professional degree programs.

THE ADMISSION PROCESS
Submit your application along with the
$50.00 nonrefundable application fee to the Office of Admissions, or apply online at http://oregonstate.edu/admissions/. If applying online, you are required to use a valid Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card to pay the $50 nonrefundable application fee. Request that your high school send your official high school transcript to OSU, and have your official
SAT or ACT test scores sent to OSU.
Telefax (FAX) credentials are considered official if faxed directly from the high school with a cover page. Our FAX number is 541-737-2482.
Portfolios, videotapes, essays and personal interviews are generally not required of applicants.
EVALUATION PROCESS
Admission to Oregon State University is selective and competitive.
Complete applications are first reviewed to confirm successful completion of the 14 high school subject requirements (see chart) and GPA earned.
For those who meet GPA and subject requirements, there is no minimum SAT or ACT score requirement. However, scores from one of these tests are required for advising purposes.
Applicants for undergraduate admission are required to complete an “Insight
Résumé,” a written assessment designed to evaluate students’ noncognitive attributes. These attributes include selfconcept, realistic self-appraisal, handling the system, ability to set long-range goals, leadership, connections with a strong support person, community engagement, and nontraditional learning.
Applicants are notified of their admission status on a rolling basis.
SELECTION OF
FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS
OSU’s admission requirements promote student success by assessing preparedness and academic potential in the unique context of each student’s personal experience. Admission assessment will consider all achievement, both academic and non-academic, to enroll students with a broad range of characteristics and perspectives. These include, but are not limited to: academic 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.
The admissions process provides a fair and comprehensive review of all applicants to determine potential success at
OSU. It is crucial that applicants carefully complete the application process by providing thorough information.
Estimating the likelihood of admission is very difficult without considering the complete application file.

• Two terms of the same of foreign language in college will be required of those high school graduates of the class of 1997 and beyond who did not complete two units (years) of foreign language while in high school.
4. Eligibility to return to most recent college or university attended.
Consideration will be given to applicants with a 2.00 GPA and an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree from an Oregon community college.
EVALUATION AND
TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDIT
Only official records are used to evaluate eligibility for admission and transferability of credit.
Official transcripts of all college work attempted must be submitted directly from the Registrar’s Office of each institution. Telefax (FAX) credentials are considered official if faxed directly from the school with a cover page. Our FAX number is 541-737-2482.
OSU accepts in transfer all college-level courses successfully completed at colleges or universities accredited by an appropriate accreditation agency. An advanced standing report acknowledging the courses accepted by the university will be sent by the Office of Admissions after the official letter of admission.
Persons transferring to OSU from a community college may have up to
124 term credits (83 semester units) accepted toward their bachelor’s degree.
If the school previously attended used the semester system, one semester credit equals 1.5 quarter credits at OSU.
CLEP
Applicants who want credit for College
Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests should have official test scores sent to admissions using college code 4586 .
Additional details are available in the
OSU Credit Opportunities brochure.
For information on OSU’s acceptance of professional-technical courses, please see Academic Regulation 2, paragraph b below.
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 lower-division 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 upper-division 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 upper-division
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 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 recommenda-
tion 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 or a specific postbaccalaureate credential. 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 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 that 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 less 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.
Non-OSU Baccalaureate Students
Students who want to earn a subsequent undergraduate degree, minor, or certificate 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 additional requirements.
The course work of admitted students will be reflected on the postbaccalaureate academic level.
ADMISSION WITH
GRADUATE STANDING
To be considered for admission to the
Graduate School, an applicant must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, as well as a scholastic record, background, or other evidence that indicates the ability to do satisfactory graduate work. See the Graduate School for further information on advanced degree, and nondegree graduate student status. Also see Graduate Admission Procedures in this catalog.
ADMISSION OF
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
International students are admitted according to standards established for each country. OSU admission standards are the equivalent of the standards for
U.S. students. International applicants must provide certified English translations for all credentials not originally issued in English, be qualified to enter a university or graduate school in their own country, and have achieved a superior scholastic record. When applying, provide complete documentation of all certificates, diplomas, degrees or titles earned, as well as grades or mark sheets from your academic institution. Applicants must present proof of English language proficiency by submitting a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based (213 on the computer-based) Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL). For alternatives to the TOEFL test, please contact the Office of Admissions for a complete listing or visit our website at http://oregonstate.edu.
Conditional admission may be granted to undergraduate students with
TOEFL scores from 450 to 549 (paperbased) or 133 to 212 (computer-based), or to graduate students with scores from
500 to 549 (paper-based) or 173 to 212
(computer-based). Such conditional admission requires (a) on-campus testing of English language proficiency prior to enrollment and, (b) compliance with a specified plan for English and academic course work during each quarter until such time as the student qualifies for nonconditional admission.
Appeals from the specified plan are made to the head advisor at the undergraduate level and to the Graduate School at the graduate level.
Exceptions to the English proficiency test requirement are: a. applicants from English-speaking countries such as Canada, United
Kingdom, etc., b. graduate applicants who have finished a previous college degree in an English-speaking country, c. those who have completed English course work or taken other tests deemed to be equivalent to the required minimum score on the
TOEFL.
A student with less than a four-year bachelor’s degree, or with a diploma, certificate, or title not accepted by OSU as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree, may apply for undergraduate admission but may not enter the Graduate School.
All records in a foreign language must include the originals accompanied by a certified English translation. A complete description of all schooling from primary or elementary school to present level of training is needed to permit better understanding of academic preparation. A GPA of 2.25 (undergraduate) and grades of “A” or “B”
(graduate) are necessary on work accepted in transfer from an American college or university.

CREDIT FOR
MILITARY EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University generally grants up to 45 credits for military education as recommended by the American
Council on Education’s (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. This is in accordance with transfer credit policies at Oregon State University and the
Oregon University System. Students may request evaluation of military credit by furnishing the Office of
Admissions with official AARTS or
SMART transcripts. For instructions on
ordering transcripts, visit the following website: http://www.acenet.edu/clll/ military/index.cfm or http:// www.acenet.edu/calec/military/. The
Office of Admissions can use a student’s
DD214, DD295 or Certificate of
Completion from the Defense Language
Institute if the AARTS or SMART transcript is not available.
Oregon State University will assess and award block transfer credit upon review of a student’s military record. An evaluation report showing block transfer credits will be sent to the student; a copy of the evaluation report and the ACE recommended guidelines will be sent to the student’s major college. Students are advised to check with their major college since not all credits accepted by Oregon State
University will or can be used in their degree programs.
For more information, contact the
Office of Admissions.
PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS
High school seniors planning to enter
OSU must take the SAT or the ACT.

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: a. Meet the institutional, college, and departmental requirements of the curricula represented by the degrees; b. Complete for each additional degree a minimum of 32 credits more than the requirements of the curriculum requiring the least number of credits; c. 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.
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.
Degrees: B =Bachelors; M =Masters; MAIS =Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies; D =Doctorate

PAYMENT OF STUDENT FEES
Payment of Nonresident
Instruction Fee (580-10-080)
1. All students classified as nonresidents shall pay a nonresident fee.
2. Refunds of the nonresident fee may be granted if the student shows that the classification previously assigned was in error, but no such refund shall be made unless the student applies and submits all supporting information for residency status prior to the last day to register for the term in which the 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 department institutions.
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 institutions may transfer to the 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.
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; 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 longstanding 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 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.
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 580-010-
0029(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 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 580-010-0030, 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.

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 responsibility 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.
STUDENT RECORDS
Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, (20 U.S.C.
1232g) provides that Oregon State
University students have the right to inspect their education records that are maintained by Oregon State University; the right to a hearing to challenge the contents of those records when they allege the records contain misleading or inaccurate information; the right to give their written consent prior to the release of their records to any person, agency, or organization other than university officials and certain authorized federal and state authorities.

The certifying official issues enrollment certification documents to the appropriate VA regional office and monitors students’ satisfactory progress for the VA. Students wishing veterans counseling or other services must address the Veterans
Administration directly.
1. OSU students who receive benefits from the Veterans Benefits Administration of the Department of Veterans
Affairs are subject to the satisfactory progress standards as set forth in
Chapter 38, U.S. Code sections 1674,

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 below. Students whose standings evidence a lack of satisfactory progress will be warned of this condition and advised to seek help from their academic advisers.
a. Academic Warning: Students with a term GPA below 2.0 will be placed on Academic Warning.
b. Academic Probation: Students who have completed two or more terms at OSU and have an OSU cumulative GPA below 2.0 will be placed on Academic Probation.
Students who attain a cumulative
GPA of 2.0 or better are removed from Academic Probation.
c. Academic Suspension: Students who are on Academic Probation and have a subsequent term GPA below 2.0 will be placed on
Academic Suspension. Academic
Suspension is recorded on the student’s academic record. Students who are academically suspended are denied all the privileges of the institution and of all organizations in any way connected to it, including any university-recognized living group.
d. Reinstatement to the University:
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
2.5 or above.
The Faculty Senate Committee on
Academic Standing is charged with the responsibility for enforcement of the above regulations on
Satisfactory Academic Standing.
Additionally, this committee has discretionary authority to grant exceptions and to develop guidelines for the administration of these regulations.
2. Students, who are placed on probation by the university, also will be notified that they are on probation insofar as Veterans Affairs’ progress standards are concerned. If a student’s deficiency is not corrected and they subsequently are placed on academic suspension, the university will notify
Veterans Affairs of his or her unsatisfactory progress.
3. The university will recertify students who are suspended by the university and subsequently reinstated by the
Academic Standing Committee.
4. Students dismissed from the university for unsatisfactory conduct will be reported as making unsatisfactory progress. The university will recertify the student only upon rescission of the dismissal by the university.
VA CERTIFYING OFFICIAL
The VA Certifying Official (VACO) certifies the registration of veterans and eligible dependents at Oregon State
University. All veterans and eligible dependents, whether new, returning, or transfer students, who expect to receive educational benefits from the Veterans
Administration must notify the VACO in the Registrar’s Office. The amount of educational benefits varies with the number of credits taken. Contact the
Veterans Administration directly for details at http://www.gibill.va.gov/.
The VA Certifying Official also reports to the Veterans Administration the
Satisfactory Progress Standards for students who are receiving VA education benefits. See Progress Standards for
Veteran Students for more information.
STATE EDUCATION AID
The state of Oregon has an educational aid program available to Oregon veterans who meet eligibility requirements. The state benefit may not be received for training for benefits which the veteran currently is receiving under the federal GI Bill. Information about the Oregon aid program may be obtained from the Department of
Veterans Affairs, Education Section,
700 Summer St., NE, Salem, OR 97301-
1285, 503-373-2000 or 800-828-8801.
Additional information may be obtained from the website at http:// www.odva.state.or.us/odva/ federal_benefits.shtml.
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 non-citizen, 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 29. 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 information acknowledgment by e-mail if you file online. The SAR will report the information from your aid application and

SAR and return it to the address given at the end of Part 2. If you have a PIN number, you may make corrections online through the Department of
Education’s FAFSA on the website at www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid comes in several different forms: grants and scholarships, loans, and work-study. Applicants may be awarded a combination of several different aid programs to help finance their education.
Undergraduate students are eligible for grants, scholarships, loans and
Federal Work-study. Graduate and postbaccalaureate students are eligible for loans and Federal Work-study.
Graduate students should also apply through their departments for assistantships and/or research grants.
The provisions of all financial aid programs are subject to change without notice based on final determination of the regulations by the federal government and funding limits.
GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Funds that do not have to be repaid.
All-Campus Scholarships
These scholarships are need-based awards administered by the OSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships with eligible undergraduate students being considered for these awards during the financial aid process. The scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis based on a combination of financial need, academic merit, and a specified criteria for students who have completed fewer than 12 terms and whose
FAFSA is completed and processed by
February 29 at the federal processor.
Departmental Scholarships
Each department on campus administers scholarship funds associated with its college and its programs of study.
Scholarship committees within the college select recipients in accordance with the bequest of the donors.
Students should contact their college or department directly for information and applications. Graduate students should contact their department for information on assistantships, fellowships and graduate scholarships.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is a need-based grant made by the federal government directly to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s degree.
Each student’s award amount is determined on the basis of family circumstances and cost of attendance.
The Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR) approximately four weeks after the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) is filed that indicates if you are
Pell eligible. The maximum award for
2004–2005 was $4,050.
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
The FSEOG is a federal grant administered by the OSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Funds are awarded to full-time undergraduates with Pell eligibility and exceptional financial need as determined by the institution. The award amount for 2004–2005 was
$200 to $3,000.
Oregon University System of Higher
Education Supplemental Tuition Waiver
(SCW)
The SCW is a state system tuition waiver program. The program provides limited funds to full-time resident undergraduates to help offset tuition increases.
Eligibility is limited to freshman and sophomore students with high financial need. The award amount for 2004–2005 was $500–$2,000.
State of Oregon Opportunity Grant
The Opportunity Grant is a state grant administered by the Oregon Student
Assistance Commission (OSAC) and awarded to full-time undergraduate
Oregon residents. Twelve terms of eligibility are possible based on need and allowable funding. This grant may be transferred to other eligible Oregon institutions. The award amount for
2004–2005 was $1,482.
LOANS
Borrowed money you repay with interest.
Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Perkins Loan is a needbased, university administered federal loan with a 5 percent interest rate. The
Federal Perkins Loan is interest-free while the student is enrolled at least half time. Repayment begins nine months after graduation or withdrawal.
Students are considered for the Federal
Perkins Loan on the basis of their financial aid application (FAFSA). The loan is made available to full-time undergraduates, postbaccalaureate and graduate students with high financial need. The maximum loan amount per year at OSU depends on available funds and may not meet the federal maximum. The maximum amount for undergraduates is $4,000 per academic year, up to a maximum of $20,000.
Graduate students may borrow a maximum of $6,000 per academic year, up to a limit of $40,000 for both undergraduate and graduate study.
Payments and the length of the repayment period depend on the size of your debt with up to 10 years to repay.
Deferments are possible under certain conditions and are handled by the OSU
Business Affairs Office.
• William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program
The following loans are awarded by the OSU Office of Financial Aid and
Scholarships to students on the basis of their financial aid application
(FAFSA). Under this program, the loan funds come directly from the
U.S. Government. A fee of up to
3 percent of the loan is deducted proportionately from each disbursement. The financial aid office mails the Ford Federal Direct Loan information to eligible students for processing.
• Federal Direct Subsidized Ford Loan
This is a need-based federal loan at a variable interest rate capped at 8.25
percent for new borrowers. The government pays the interest on the loan while the student is enrolled at least half time. Repayment begins six months after graduation, withdrawal, or if a student drops below half time.
• Federal Direct Unsubsidized Ford Loan
This is a non-need-based federal loan with the same interest terms as the
Subsidized Ford Loan. The student is responsible for paying the interest while enrolled, but may choose to defer the interest payment until repayment begins six months after graduation, withdrawal, or if a student drops below half time.
The maximum yearly loan amount for any combination of Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Ford Loan as set by the federal government and based on class rank are:
• $2,625 for the first year of undergraduate study
• $3,500 for the second year of undergraduate study
• $5,500 per academic year for the remaining years of undergraduate study
• $8,500 per academic year for graduate students.
Independent undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to borrow an additional Federal Direct
Unsubsidized Ford Loan amount.
Dependent undergraduates may not borrow from this program unless an exception is made by a financial aid advisor due to their parent being denied the FDPLUS loan. The additional loan limits are:
• $4,000 for the first year and second year of undergraduate study;
• $5,000 per academic year for the remaining years of undergraduate study;
• $10,000 per academic year for graduate students.
The total debt you can have outstanding from all Stafford/Ford loans combined is:
• $23,000 as a dependent undergraduate;
• $46,000 and an independent undergraduate;
• $138,500 as a graduate or professional student, which includes all loan amounts received for undergraduate study.
• Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (FDPLUS)
The FDPLUS is a federal loan borrowed by the parent on behalf of a dependent student to assist with educational expenses. Parents are required to fill out a Direct PLUS
Loan Application and Promissory
Note that is mailed out by the OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships upon request. (It is not necessary to complete a FAFSA for this loan if no other aid assistance is being requested.)
It is a non-need-based loan at a variable interest rate capped at
9 percent. Interest is charged on the loan to the borrower from the date the first disbursement is made until the loan is paid in full. Repayment generally begins within 60 days after the final loan disbursement. A
3 percent administrative fee is deducted proportionately by the federal government each time a loan payment is made.
Parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance as determined by the university, minus any other financial aid the student may receive.
FEDERAL WORK-STUDY
PROGRAM (FWSP)
FWSP is a need-based federal program that is administered by the university to provide jobs for eligible students.
Eligibility is limited to full-time students with exceptional financial need as determined by their FAFSA application.
Students with FWSP funds are assisted by the OSU Office of Financial Aid and
Scholarships in locating employment on campus or at an approved site in the community to earn the amount of their award. Funds are paid out monthly on the basis of hours worked. Students are notified of their eligibility for Federal
Work-Study on their financial aid award letter.
OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Part-time Employment
Part-time employment enables many students to pay rent or to earn spending money. The Career Services Office assists students in locating employment opportunities. Career Services is located in 8 Kerr Administration Building,
541-737-4085. The website is http:// oregonstate.edu/career.
Emergency Loans
The Emergency Loan Program is administered by the Business Affairs
Office and is designed for students who anticipate a temporary cash flow 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 may repay the loan early if you like, but emergency loans are due in full by the end of the term.
To request an emergency loan, you must complete the Emergency Loan
Application available at the Cashier’s
Window. Emergency loans are not available between terms.
AID PACKAGES
After your eligibility for financial aid has been established, an award package is designed to meet your need. The OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships 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.
Other resources such as grants and scholarships from outside agencies,
ROTC awards, veterans benefits, vocational rehabilitation assistance, 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.
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 offcampus living arrangements.
2004–05 BUDGET FIGURES
Resident Tuition and fees*
Undergraduate .......................... $5,349
Graduate .................................... $9,366
Room/Board ................................ $6,786
Books/Supplies ............................. $1,350
Misc/Personal ............................... $2,181
Undergraduate Total .................. $15,666
Graduate Total ........................... $19,683
Nonresident Tuition and fees*
Undergraduate ........................ $17,775
Graduate .................................. $15,603
Room/Board ................................ $6,786
Books/Supplies ............................. $1,350
Misc/Personal ............................... $2,181
Undergraduate Total .................. $28,092
Graduate Total ........................... $25,920
* Tuition and fees are set annually by the
Oregon University System after July 1, 2005.
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, 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).
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.
ENTERING STUDENTS AWARDS
Oregon State University offers scholarships to recognize entering students’ academic achievement, while promoting the diversity necessary to reach the university’s educational goals. In keeping with those goals, OSU seeks to enroll students who represent a variety of ethnic, cultural, and geographical perspectives and who bring special skills to the campus. In addition to receiving the monetary award, scholarship students participate in the University
Scholars Program, which offers special opportunities to interact with other highly motivated students, outstanding
OSU faculty, and visiting scholars.
Contact the OSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships at 541-737-2241 for program information or online at http:/
/oregonstate.edu/admin/finaid.
To be considered for scholarship selection, entering students must meet the minimum criteria listed below, complete the OSU Application for
Undergraduate Admission, including the OSU Scholars section by the priority deadline. Applicants are evaluated on a combination of GPA, SAT or ACT scores, extracurricular and leadership activities, strength of high school or college courses completed, and potential contribution to the educational goals of the university. Scholarship amounts vary based on evaluation of merit, experience and students’ financial need.
Students who are selected receive only one of these scholarships except for college/department awards, which may be combined with other OSU scholarships. Selections for OSU scholarships are extremely competitive from within a highly qualified applicant pool.
Scholarship selections and award amounts are determined on a competitive basis.

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Four categories of scholarships are offered through the College of Agricultural Sciences
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 continuing students
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 record are used to select scholarship 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.
Qualifications and Selection
The CAS awards $1,000 to $2,000 scholarships to students entering the
CAS through OSU’s Corvallis campus, the college’s location on the Eastern
Oregon University campus in La
Grande, OSU’s Distance Education program, or OSU’s dual-admission programs with select Oregon community colleges. Students with an agricultural science-related interest enrolling in the general agriculture, environmental science, or natural resources program at
OSU’s Cascades campus are also considered.
Students must:
• Exhibit high scholastic ability
• Have an interest in an agricultural or natural-resource career
• Possess a record of leadership in school and community activities
• Meet OSU and college admission requirements
Application
To apply for a beginning venture scholarship, complete the College of
Agricultural Sciences Scholarships

Continuing Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships

CAS. These scholarships provide students with an additional year of support.
Qualifications and Selection
The CAS awards $1,500 scholarships to students beginning their second year of study in the CAS through OSU’s
Corvallis campus, the college’s location on the Eastern Oregon University campus in La Grande, OSU’s Distance

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, and Colloquia.”)
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 a 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, and others present several concerts annually on or near campus, in which free or reducedprice tickets are available to students.
Faculty members and advanced music majors also perform free, public recitals throughout the school year.
The Corvallis-OSU Music Association,
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.

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 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.

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.
United States citizens or permanent residents interested in participating in the program may write to the Educational Opportunities Program, OSU, 337

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.
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 Option 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.
For more information, call 737-2464, e-mail: eliadmi@oregonstate.edu, or visit the ELI website at http:// oregonstate.edu/dept/eli/.

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, 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’s 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 five cooperative houses: Azalea
House, Oxford House, and Reed Lodge 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

Faculty Services (ISFS) in Snell Hall, room 444, helps international students and scholars meet their educational and personal goals in this country. At present there are more than 700 international graduate students from some 91 countries at Oregon State
University.
The Office of International Student and Faculty Services (ISFS) provides special assistance to international students. The staff offers an orientation program for new students; provides liaison with the university, community, and international sponsoring offices; advises on immigration and other governmental regulations, and cultural and personal matters; helps with financial certifications for the transfer of funds from other countries; and advises on the university’s policy of conditional admission based on English proficiency requirements. The office conducts workshops of interest to international students on such issues as practical training, cross-cultural awareness, and bringing dependents to the U.S. See the
International Student and Faculty
Services website at http:// oregonstate.edu/international/oie/isfs/ index.html.
The office also provides leadership for a wide variety of cross-cultural activities that enrich the experience of international students on campus and in the community. Among the cooperating organizations are Crossroads International (a community volunteer organization), University Housing, and the
International Students of Oregon State
University (an on-campus student organization). Crossroads International, with members from the greater Corvallis area, provides home stays for international students new to the United
States, Friendship Home contacts between community members and international students, conversation partners for students and their spouses, the Crossroads Conversation School for international women, and other support services and activities.
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.
Frequent public lectures by faculty members, visiting scholars, and persons prominent in national affairs supplement the regular curriculum. Campus sponsors of lectures include the Committee on Convocations and Lectures,

The LGBT Services Office supports
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 campusbased 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.

Website: http://oregonstate.edu/career/ nse/
Through the National Student Exchange (NSE) academically qualified students are given the opportunity to spend up to one calendar year at another school while paying in-state tuition rates. Credits earned during the exchange become a part of each student’s OSU transcript.
More than 170 colleges and universities across the country currently participate in the National Student
Exchange program. While on exchange, 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.
To qualify, a student must be a full-time student;
• in good standing with a 2.50
cumulative grade-point average at the time of application and during the quarter prior to exchange; and
• an undergraduate who has earned at least 45 credits at the time the exchange begins.
Each year applications are available beginning November 1 and are due
February 15 in the Career Services office.
WICHE STUDENT
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Western Regional Graduate
Program (WRGP)
Residents of Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington, and
Wyoming are eligible to enroll at resident rates of tuition in distinctive graduate programs. There is no requirement that students meet financial aid criteria.
WRGP programs are distinctive in the sense that they are uncommon and, through a regional review process are found to be of high quality. Programs are nominated by their institutions, reviewed by other graduate institutions in the participating states, and selected by the WRGP Advisory Council, a policy body that represents all participating states.
Programs open to WRGP eligible students new to OSU include:
• Design and Human Environment
(MA, MS, PhD)
• Human Development and Family
Studies (PhD)
• Marine Resource Management
(MA, MS)
• Nuclear Engineering (MS, PhD)
• Oceanography–Biological, Chemical,
Geological, and Physical (MA, MS,
PhD)
• Ocean Engineering (MOcE)/Civil
Engineering with concentration only in ocean engineering (MS, PhD)
• Radiation Health Physics (MS, PhD)
• Toxicology (MS, PhD)
Interested students should apply for admission and for WRGP tuition status directly to the program director.
Applicants must identify themselves as
“WICHE WRGP” applicants. Additional information about this program and a list of contact persons for the graduate programs listed above are available from the Graduate School Office.
Professional Student
Exchange Program (PSEP)
The Professional Student Exchange
Program enables students in 13 western states (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, and Wyoming) to enroll in professional programs not available in their home state. The fields of study in this program are architecture, dentistry, graduate library studies, graduate nursing education, law, maritime technology, medicine, occupational therapy, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, podiatry, public health, and veterinary medicine.
The Oregon University System participation in WICHE enables qualified Oregon resident students to apply for training at designated institutions (most in other states) in the following fields: graduate library studies, occupational therapy, optometry, osteopathic medicine, physical therapy, 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 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 website at http:// www.oregonstate.edu/dept/ grad_school/Graduate_Funding/ wiche.htm.

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 orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 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.

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 and are encouraged to participate in one or more career 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 program 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 are worldwide.

Foundation staff members, student workers, and volunteers build relationships with donors at all giving levels, helping them to make gifts that meet their charitable goals. Outright gifts, including cash, securities, and property, benefit the university immediately.
Deferred gifts, including bequests, life insurance, and life income agreements, provide funding for the future.
In addition to supporting projects initiated by donors, the foundation seeks gifts for specific priorities determined by the university. In the past, these priorities have included scholarships, endowed faculty positions, renovating The Valley Library, and building Richardson Hall, the CH2M
Hill Alumni Center, and the LaSells
Stewart Center. Currently the foundation is focusing its efforts on a technology campaign to help the College of
Engineering become a top-25 ranked program. One component of the technology campaign will restore
Weatherford Hall, making it the home of an innovative program in entrepreneurship. This effort is spearheaded by the College of Business.
Besides raising funds, the foundation holds and manages several thousand gift accounts earmarked by donors to benefit specific programs or colleges.
Over 1,000 of the gift accounts are endowed; only a portion of the interest they generate can be expended each year. The principal remains invested for growth so future generations will have the same opportunities that today’s students have.
As of June 30, 2002, the foundation’s endowment totaled $243 million and its assets exceeded $375 million.

Saturday Academy’s Apprenticeships in
Science and Engineering (ASE) program offers high school freshmen through juniors a chance to work with an engineer or scientist for eight weeks during the summer. ASE apprentices attend workshops, seminars, lectures, and leadership classes at the Mid-
Summer Conference, and share their work in poster sessions and presentations at a symposium. Other offerings include an AWSEM (Advocates for
Women in Science, Engineering and
Mathematics) Club for middle school girls and a Creative Engineering Design
Program that introduces students to creative design challenges in mechanical engineering.
Summer Experience in Science and
Engineering for Youth (SESEY) SESEY is primarily for high school girls and ethnic minorities traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering, and for science, math, or physics teachers who are interested in developing curricular materials to promote engineering activities in their classrooms.
Students come to the OSU campus for a one-week residential summer camp and are paired with a faculty mentor in engineering for a mini-research project in areas such as microscale technologies, plastics recycling, drug formulation and delivery, bioprocessing, microelectronics, and environmental engineering. There are also group learning activities
(computer instruction, communication skills, field trips) and social activities.
Students are exposed to science and engineering as viable and interesting career paths. Career counseling is provided by faculty mentors and OSU graduate and undergraduate students who work with the students throughout the week as research project advisors and friends. Students live in OSU housing, so they receive a complete college experience.

OSU’s The SMILE (Science and Math
Investigative Learning Experiences)
Program collaborates with 13 school districts in Oregon to increase the number of historically under-represented minority, low-income, and other educationally underserved students who graduate from high school prepared to go on to college and pursue careers in math, science, engineering, health professions, and teaching. More than
650 students and 66 teachers in 35 schools across the state participated in
SMILE last year. The program functions as a pipeline that takes students from the 4th to 12th grade and on to postsecondary education.
SMILE provides a comprehensive program of science and math enrichment through weekly after-school clubs, field trips, outdoor science camp, oncampus, college-connection challenge activities, a bridge-to-college summer program for SMILE graduates entering
OSU, and professional development for classroom teachers serving as SMILE
Club advisors.
