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

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

usually requires a total of at least five years of full-time equivalent academic work to complete the degree program, including prior required college-level work plus the length of the professional program itself (examples, DVM in veterinary medicine and PharmD in pharmacy). The conditions and conferral of the award are governed by the faculty and ratified by the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education.
Grade point average (GPA): The total number of grade points received for grades divided by the total number of credits attempted. OSU uses a 4-point grade scale.
Graduate area of concentration: A subdivision of a major or minor in which a strong graduate program is available. Areas of concentration may be shown on the program of study but are not listed on the transcript.
Graduate major: A discipline approved by the State Board of Higher
Education, in which students may qualify for a graduate degree.
Graduate minor: A graduate academic area that clearly supports the major and consists of a group of related courses totaling at least 15 credits in a specific topical area.
Interdisciplinary: A course or program that integrates concepts, knowledge, or faculty from several fields of study.
Lower-division courses: Course offerings at a level of preparation usually associated with freshmen and sophomore students (e.g., 100- and 200-level courses).
Major (undergraduate): An extensive program of study in a designated subject area. Majors require at least 36 credits,
24 of which must be upper-division.
Master’s degree: An approved academic award given as a mark of proficiency in scholarship and for the satisfactory completion of an instructional program requiring at least one but not more than two years of full-time equivalent academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree. A minimum of 45 credits is required beyond the baccalaureate degree. [ Note: The total number, above the minimum, will vary by degree program.] The conditions and conferral of the award are governed by the faculty and ratified by the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education.
Minor (undergraduate): A secondary field of specialized study that may be offered by an academic unit for its own majors and/or majors from other academic units. Minors require at least
27 credits, 12 of which must be at the upper-division level. An approved minor is placed on the student’s transcript.
Option (undergraduate): Options are for students of a specific major. Options consist of at least 21 designated credits of course work, 15 of which must be at the upper-division level. If all requirements have been met, the option may be listed on a student’s transcript.
Perspectives courses: Baccalaureate core courses that integrate fundamental knowledge from science and liberal arts disciplines to develop cultural, historic, and scientific perspectives.
Reading and conference: A course focused on reading assignments to be completed in conferences with the instructor.
Reserved numbered courses: Certain blocks of numbers that have been assigned for specific courses that may be taken for more than one term. The credits being granted vary according to the amount of work done.
100–110 and 200–210: Survey or foundation courses in the liberal arts and sciences
401/501/601: Research and Scholarship
402/502/602: Independent Study
403/503/603: Thesis/Dissertation
404/504/604: Writing and Conference
405/505/605: Reading and Conference
406/506/606: Special Problems/Special
Projects
407/507/607: Seminar
408/508/608: Workshop
409/509/609: Practicum/Clinical
Experience
410/510/610: Internship/Work Experience
Sequence: Two, three, or four closely related courses that are usually taken in numerical order and through more than one term.
Skills courses: Baccalaureate core courses designed to give the student fundamental mathematical, communication, and fitness competence.
Special topics courses (X99).
Like reserved numbered courses above, special topics courses may be repeated without limit by students. It is implied that the course content is different each time the student takes the course.
Synthesis courses: Baccalaureate core upper-division courses that emphasize interdisciplinary, critical thinking approaches to global, technological, and societal issues.
Term: Usually one-third of the school year. Terms at OSU are divided into fall, 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. WIC courses have a carat, ^, in front of the title.
READING A
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The elements of a typical course description found under department headings in the colleges that follow are illustrated by the microbiology course below:
Science Course Example:
MB 479. FERMENTATION MICROBI-
OLOGY (3) . An introduction to industrial microbiology with a focus on the physiology of fermentation and use of microorganisms for the production of food ingredients, fermented foods, and beverages. CROSSLISTED as FST 479/FST
579. REQ: Field trips. ENFORCED
PREREQS: BB 450 and MB 302* OTHER
PREREQS: (BB 350 or BI 314).
Designator: (MB) an abbreviation representing the department, college, or program offering the course. MB indicates that the course is offered through the Department of Microbiology.
Number: (479) indicates the level of the course. This is an upper-division, undergraduate course. 400-level courses are offered for undergraduate credit.
Courses numbered at the 500- or 600level 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. (See Course Numbering
System below.)
Title: FERMENTATION MICROBIOL-
OGY
Credit: (3) the number of credits awarded for successful completion of the course.
Course description: A brief description of what will be taught in the course.
“An introduction to industrial microbiology...”
CROSSLISTED: CROSSLISTED as FST
479/FST 579 means the same course is also offered through another department; course numbers, titles, descriptions, and prerequisites are the same for both courses.
REQ: A requirement for that course, such as field trips.
ENFORCED PREREQS: Prerequisites a student must have completed before registering for the course. The registra-
tion system will not allow students to enroll for the course unless they have the prerequisite on their transcripts.
These courses are the background necessary for successful performance in a course.
* (Asterisk): The asterisk after an enforced prerequisite (MB 302*) indicates that it may be taken concurrently with the course described.
OTHER PREREQS: Prerequisites that are not but may be enforced by the instructor. They are recommended background for success in the course.
COREQ: A course that must be taken simultaneously with the course described.
REC: Means the course is recommended but not required by the instructor.
Liberal Arts Course Example:
HST 202H. HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES (3).

Columbian era to the present. Attention is given to economic, political, and social trends, as well as to international relations. Covers 1820 to 1920. HST
201H, HST 202H, and HST 203H need not be taken in sequence. (H) (SS) (Bacc
Core Course) OTHER PREREQS: Honors
College approval required.
Letter suffix: (MB 479H) “H” signifies an Honors College course. An “X” signifies an experimental course.
Liberal Arts Core: Students pursuing
College of Liberal Arts majors are required to complete courses in certain study areas. Four abbreviations are used in the college to indicate courses that may be used to fulfill requirements in each of these areas:
(FA) F ine A rts Core
(H) H umanities Core
(NC) N on-Western C ore
(SS) S ocial S tudies Core
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM

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 doctorallevel 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

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 a high school within the U.S.A. with a cover page. Our fax number is 541-737-2482.
Portfolios, videotapes, essays and personal interviews are generally not required.
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 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.

Additional details are available in the
OSU Credit Opportunities brochure and on the admissions website.
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):
Credit From A Two-Year Institution
(Undergraduate Students) a. College Transfer Credits: Oregon
State University accepts for credit toward a baccalaureate degree all college transfer work completed at an Oregon or other accredited community college up to 124 lowerdivision credits. Transfer credits and grades are not used in calculating the OSU cumulative GPA. Students who hold OSU-approved direct transfer degrees from Oregon or other accredited community colleges (e.g., the Associates of Arts
Oregon Transfer degree) or who have 90 or more quarter credits accepted in transfer will be granted junior standing.* Students who hold
OSU-approved direct transfer degrees will be considered to have met the Perspectives and Skills
(except WIC) areas of the baccalaureate core; see AR 25. In addition, they must complete the upperdivision Synthesis and WIC areas of the core. Students transferring from
Oregon or other accredited community colleges who do not hold approved direct transfer degrees will be given baccalaureate core credit in the Perspectives and Skills areas on a course-by-course basis for work that is judged to be equivalent in content. They must complete upperdivision Synthesis courses.
*Such standing does not necessarily imply that OSU institutional, college or division, and departmental requirements, normally satisfied by OSU students prior to their junior year, have been satisfied.
b. Transfer of Professional-Technical
Course Credits: A maximum of
124 quarter credits (83 semester credits) may be transferred from an accredited two-year or community college to OSU. A maximum of
12 quarter credits (8 semester credits) of professional-technical course work applicable in an associates degree or certificate program at an accredited institution can be accepted upon admission to
OSU as general elective credit
(graded as Pass) and as part of the
124 quarter credit total.
c. Transfer of Equivalent Professional-Technical Course Credits:
Lower-division credit for specific professional-technical community college courses may be awarded for equivalent OSU course work when equivalency is validated by the OSU
department offering the equivalent course work. This may be above the
12 quarter credits of general electives (graded as Pass) allowed when a student is admitted to OSU.
Community college course work is not equivalent to upper-division
OSU course work. Equivalent credit will be awarded only upon the recommendation of the appropriate department and college, and approval by the Academic Requirements Committee. If the professional-technical community college course and the equivalent OSU course vary in credits, the number of course credits that may be granted will be the lesser of the two.
These course credits will count as part of the 124 credits defined in paragraph 2.a. above.
PETITION FOR
ADMISSION CONSIDERATION
Transfer students not approved for admission may complete the extended admission requirements and will be provided with information about the petition procedure. Deadlines are in effect each term for appeals.
NONDEGREE STATUS
Nondegree enrollment status is designed for students who want to take courses but do not want to pursue a degree. In some instances nondegree students may not meet regular admission requirements. Nondegree students are part-time students who are expected to enroll in no more than 8 credits a term. Students who want to enroll for more than
8 credits a term must apply for regular admission.
Nondegree enrollment status requires no formal admission process and has no requirements for entrance. A nonrefundable $25.00 admission application fee is charged. Nondegree applications should be submitted electronically to the Office of Admissions. Approval is granted for a specific term. Students who are unable to attend the specific term and want to enroll later should contact the Office of
Admissions.
Nondegree students are given grades and academic records, and are reviewed according to university standards of good academic progress.
Nondegree students who wish to seek full admission and pursue a degree must do so by submitting an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate or graduate application for admission. In either case, an admission application fee is required.
Successful enrollment as a nondegree student does not guarantee regular admission. Credits earned while enrolled under nondegree undergraduate status will be applied to a student’s record, if applicable to a degree, after formal admission.
Nondegree graduate students who decide to seek admission to a specific degree program during the course of their studies should note that any credits taken as a nondegree student may or may not be applicable for that degree, depending upon a variety of factors, their chosen program and the policies of the Graduate School. Graduate students are further advised that at least
30 graduate credits must be completed after full admission as a degree-seeking graduate student, regardless of the number of credits previously earned while in nondegree status. Close communication with the Graduate
School is encouraged.
Nondegree students follow the registration procedures and policies as outlined in the Schedule of Classes.
The
Schedule of Classes is available through the web at http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/
Default.aspx?section=ClassListing.
Registering students are expected to obtain a student identification card through the ID Center in the Memorial
Union.
Tuition and fees for nondegree students enrolled in fewer than 9 credits are assessed at resident rates based on undergraduate- or graduate-course level.
Payment of the health service fee is optional. Enrollment in excess of
8 credits requires that tuition and fees be assessed at the same rates as regular students and full admission as a regular student.
Registration holds in place prior to applying for nondegree status must be satisfied before registration as nondegree student will be allowed.
ACADEMIC REGULATION 1.
ADMISSION FOR NONDEGREE
STUDENTS a. Nondegree enrollment status for undergraduate students is designed for students who wish to take 8 or fewer credits per term, but do not wish to pursue a degree or a specific postbaccalaureate credential.
b. Nondegree enrollment status for graduate students is designed for students who wish to take graduate courses, but do not wish to pursue an advanced degree. Nondegree graduate students are not limited as to the number of courses (credits) 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 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.
Students who want to earn a subsequent minor or certificate but whose baccalaureate degrees were not from
OSU may apply for nondegree enrollment status. Students must complete the current requirements for a minor or certificate and receive the dean’s approval. Students must also achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 and complete a minimum of 15 credits in residence. A nonrefundable $25.00 admission application fee is charged.

Classes .
Re-enrolling students who have attended another college or university since their last term at OSU are required to report that enrollment at the time of reentry. Official transcripts must be forwarded to the Office of Admissions.
Students with transfer work with less than a 2.00 GPA are reminded of the graduation requirements, which stipulate that an overall 2.00 GPA is needed in all college work.
All re-enrolling students are reminded of their responsibility to update any outdated information in their OSU records. Current addresses will be needed. Contact the Registrar’s Office for changes to records.
UNIVERSITY DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS
Current degree requirements are published each year in the printed and electronic “Academic Regulations and
Procedures” section of the Registration
Information Handbook and in the General
Catalog . All students are encouraged to read the Registration Information Handbook and General Catalog each year for current information about OSU requirements and procedures.
Students with questions about baccalaureate degree requirements should contact their advisor. Students needing assistance in selecting a major or selecting an advisor should call or stop by the college office.
THE BACCALAUREATE
EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University is committed to an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity, academic freedom, diversity, and personal empowerment to enable everyone to learn with and from others. This compelling learning experience celebrates knowledge; encourages personal growth and awareness; acknowledges the benefits of diverse experiences, world views, learning styles, and values; and engenders personal and societal values that benefit the individual and society.
OSU’s curricula is based on sound disciplinary knowledge and input from practitioners. Students acquire skills and knowledge for a lifetime of learning and engage in scholarly and creative pursuits.
The baccalaureate degree includes:
• the baccalaureate core
• an in-depth study in at least one major; and
• individual elective courses.
Minors are available in many areas and are required in certain programs.
Students should check departmental requirements.
THE BACCALAUREATE CORE
The Oregon State University Baccalaureate Core (http://catalog.oregonstate.
edu/bcc.aspx) is continually enriched. It emphasizes critical thinking, writing, world cultures, appreciation of differences, the arts, sciences, literature, lifelong fitness, and global awareness in
15 course categories. Over 250 courses are available to meet core requirements.
Students must complete a total of
48 credits plus a Writing Intensive Course
(WIC) of at least 3 credits.
The Baccalaureate Core Committee determines which courses will satisfy each of the requirements above. WIC courses will be reviewed by the Writing
Advisory Board. The core is governed by the following rules: (1) No more than two courses from any one department may be used by a student to satisfy the Perspectives category of the core. (2) No single course may be used by a student to satisfy more than one subject area of the core even though some courses have been approved in more than one area, including WIC. (3) Both Synthesis courses may not be taken in the same department.
Defining characteristics of baccalaureate core courses are available at http:// oregonstate.edu/ap/curriculum/ baccore.html.
The purpose of the writing intensive requirement is to insure that each graduate is prepared to write in the discourse, conventions, and genres of his or her major field.
A student completing requirements for two majors including double degrees as well as dual majors (one degree with two majors) may request that one WIC course satisfy the WIC requirement for graduation in both majors. This opportunity is available if and only if:
1. The discourse, written conventions, and genres of the two majors are closely related, and
2. The substitution of a WIC course from one major for that in another major is approved in writing by the chairs or heads of both departments involved and the approval is placed in the student’s academic file.
Students and advisors should be aware that in some cases, the WIC course in a major is an integral part of the degree and substitution may not be appropriate.
The final decision rests with the department chair or head.

MAJOR PROGRAM
In-depth study in at least one area is required in each baccalaureate degree.
Major requirements often include not only courses within the given discipline but also necessary prerequisites and work in related areas.
Students must satisfy all the requirements of their major department and major college. The dean’s certification of fulfillment of all requirements of the major college is required.
UPPER-DIVISION COURSES
A minimum of 60 credits of the total number (must be in courses numbered
300 and/or 400). (Courses numbered
500 or 600 may also be counted in the
60-credit upper-division requirement, but they may not simultaneously be counted for graduate degree requirements.) A minimum of 36 credits must be taken in each major, including least
24 upper-division credits.
PRACTICUM COURSES
AND INTERNSHIPS
Academic performance is not the sole criterion for admission to and continuation in certain courses and programs at the university, particularly practicum courses and internships. The university may find it necessary to evaluate a person’s behavior and background to determine the ability to maintain the standards of professional conduct which are necessary in some disciplines. An evaluation may take into consideration current performance as well as past experiences and actions which could affect the ability to perform in the particular course or program.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Students must attain a minimum cumulative OSU GPA of 2.00. Refer to the Grades, Regulations, and Records section of this catalog for grade point information.
TOTAL CREDITS
A baccalaureate degree program with one or more majors must be at least
180 total credits. Several baccalaureate degree programs require more credits.
Departments should be contacted for the most current information.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Oregon State University expects students to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion. At the conclusion of each term, grade point averages are calculated and academic standings determined for students seeking a baccalaureate degree according to the criteria outlined in the Grades,
Regulations, and Records section of this catalog.
ACADEMIC RESIDENCE
REQUIREMENT
A minimum of 45 of the last 75 credits must be completed while the student is in academic residence at OSU. “Academic Residence” is defined as OSU courses taken as a degree-seeking student of OSU or courses through one of the following approved special programs:
Professional degree programs which require that the student enroll in another institution while finishing the bachelor’s degree at OSU or an international study program sponsored by the
Oregon University System.
A minimum of 15 upper-division credits used to meet the preceding residency requirement must be taken in each of the student’s majors.
Credits earned by special examination for credit (AR 23) are not considered in academic residence.
OTHER GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
BA Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred for broad and liberal education in humanities, arts, social science, and sciences. Requirements for the BA degree differ significantly from those for a
Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in the same department. Many departments offer only one or the other of the two baccalaureate degrees. Check departmental curricula for detailed information. The
BA degree requires foreign language proficiency equivalent to that attained at the end of the second year course in the language as certified by the Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures.
Concurrent Baccalaureate Degrees
Students may concurrently earn two or more bachelor’s degrees; for example, a
BA or BS with the same or different major.
Students must:
1. Meet the institutional, college, and departmental requirements of the curricula represented by the degrees;
2. Complete for each additional degree a minimum of 32 credits more than the requirements of the curriculum requiring the least number of credits;
3. Complete each additional 32 credits in residence.
Subsequent Baccalaureate Degrees
A student who has previously earned a bachelor’s degree from OSU may receive a second such degree if all requirements are met. The minimum of 32 credits may be completed at any time.
Students with a baccalaureate degree(s) from an accredited institution other than Oregon State University may be granted a baccalaureate degree from
OSU upon satisfying the college and departmental requirements of the curriculum represented by the degree.
Such a student also may obtain concurrent degrees from Oregon State University by satisfying the requirements for concurrent degrees.
A student seeking a concurrent or subsequent baccalaureate degree(s) also must satisfy the university’s residence requirements.
Subsequent Credentials: Minors,
Certificates, Options, and Majors
A student who has received a previous bachelor’s degree either from OSU or from another accredited university or college may be granted a subsequent minor or certificate by completing current requirements for a minor or certificate, receiving the dean’s approval, achieving a minimum 2.00 OSU cumulative grade point average on work taken for the subsequent credential, and taking a minimum of 15 credits of OSU course work applied to the subsequent credential. A student who has received a previous bachelor’s degree from OSU may be granted a subsequent option or major by completing:
• current requirements for the option or major,
• receiving the dean’s approval
• achieving a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA on work taken for the subsequent credential,
• and taking a minimum of 15 credits of OSU course work in residence 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 BACHELOR’S
DEGREE AND GRADUATION
Students should consult with their advisor to check progress toward graduation requirements. Progress will be based on the formally declared major, minors, options, degree, and other applicable requirements. Applications should be obtained from and filed in the
Office of the Registrar two terms before expected graduation so progress can be monitored each term. The Registrar’s
Office checks for total credits, academic residency, total upper-division credits and grade point average.
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. Audits are normally available three (3) weeks after the start of the term. 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 term so he or she has time to complete any deficiencies prior to the last term.
Students who wish to change graduation dates after the first application must file the change in the Office of the Registrar before the final term.
Degrees are granted at the end of each term, 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:
Academic
OSU
GPA
Graduation
Honor
Distinction
Cum Laude
Magna Cum

Summa Cum
Range Cord Color
3.50–3.69
Orange
3.70–3.84

Laude 3.85–4.00
White
These distinctions are noted on diplomas.
RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS
Re-enrolling students are reminded that graduation requirements may have changed. Students are responsible for consulting their college for changes in their curriculum. If a program has been discontinued, students cannot expect to continue pursuit of that program. Reenrolling students also are reminded that individual retention and reenrollment standards of specific colleges may be in effect.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Oregon community college students entering OSU fall term 1990 or thereafter, having completed the Associate of
Arts (AA) degree (meeting the OUS-
Oregon Community College block transfer agreement) will automatically have satisfied all the lower-division requirements of the baccalaureate core.
TRANSFER CREDITS
Decisions on transfer courses meeting specific baccalaureate core or 1988–90 general education requirements will be made by the Office of Admissions with the Faculty Senate and the Office of
Academic Programs. Some requirements may be met by advanced placement. For more information, contact the Office of
Admissions. Articulation tables for baccalaureate core courses can be found on the web at http://osu.orst.edu/dept/ admindb/arttable/scr1140_arttab.htm.
OREGON TRANSFER
MODULE-OSU VERSION
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) provides a one-year curriculum for students who plan to transfer to a state of Oregon two-year or four-year college/ university of higher education. The
Oregon Transfer Module is neither a certificate nor a degree; it represents the successful completion of certain general education courses. OTM completion will be noted in the student’s record. The
Oregon Transfer Module documents that a student has met a subset of the common general education requirements at all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System institutions.
The Oregon Transfer Module requirements at Oregon State University are:
• 45 lower-division credits—minimum of 12 credits must be OSU course work according to the attached list
• Minimum grade of C– for each course
• Minimum cumulative GPA 2.0 at time Oregon Transfer Module is completed
• Students are allowed 3 S/U credits per full time term or a maximum of
9 S/U credits in the Oregon Transfer
Module.
OSU students planning to complete the
Oregon Transfer Module must file the
OTM Completion Application with the
Registrar’s Office. Students should fill out the form when the module is completed or they are in the last term of completion.
Upon successful review and completion of the Oregon Transfer Module a notation will be added to the student’s record indicating the module is complete and the date. The notation will appear on the transcript as follows:

For more information, call Student
Accounts at 541-737-3775.
FEE PAYMENT OBLIGATION
Web registration presents you with a confirmed class schedule. When you finish registering, your schedule is official. This obligates you to pay all tuition and fees for your classes. If you wish to cancel this commitment and
reduce or eliminate tuition charges for the term, you must officially cancel your registration or withdraw from the university (see the Tuition/Fee Reduction and Refund Schedule at http:// oregonstate.edu/fa/businessaffairs/ studentfinance/tuition/ tuition_reduction.php) .
Electronic billing statements are processed around the 5th of each month. Notification that your statement is ready will be sent to your ONID e-mail address. It is very important that your
ONID address is active and that you are checking it regularly. You may also select to have your ONID e-mail forwarded to an alternate address. eBill statements can be viewed online at http:// mybill.oregonstate.edu/. See “How eBill
Works” at http://oregonstate.edu/fa/ businessaffairs/studentfinance/eBill/ instructions.php.
You may pay your tuition and fees in the following ways:
• By eCheck through your electronic billing statement. Login with your student ID and GAP.
• By mailing a paper check to the OSU
Cashier’s Office, PO Box 1086,
Corvallis, OR 97339.
• By placing a paper check in one of our drop boxes. Drop boxes are located in front of the Cashier’s Office in Kerr Administration or on the landing between the apparel and book levels at the OSU Bookstore.
• By paying in person by cash or check at the Cashier’s Office in Kerr
Administration.
• By credit card via your account and
Student Online Services. Please note the associated convenience fee.
Accounts are “due upon receipt” of the monthly statement, and any unpaid balance remaining after the 1st of each month is subject to an interest charge of
1% per month (12% APR).
If you are enrolled for the current term, you will be allowed to register for the following term only if your account balance does not exceed $2,200.00. If you are not currently enrolled, you must have your account balance paid in full in order to register.
Requests for transcripts cannot be processed until your account balance is paid in full.
DROP/WITHDRAW REFUNDS
Students who drop or withdraw from a class, or withdraw from the university may be eligible for a tuition refund.
Refunds are based on assessed tuition, course fees, and mandatory fees, and are calculated from the date you officially drop, withdraw, or cancel your registration or reduce your class load, not the last date of class attendance. Please see
“Registration Cancellation/Withdrawal from the University.”
Refunds are processed as a credit on your account. A check will be issued to you if any credit balance remains after other charges and financial aid repayments have been satisfied. No refunds are authorized for persons paying staff rates. Allow about two weeks for processing a refund. Your refund will be sent to your current mailing address. Be sure to update your current mailing address online in Student Online
Services.

PAYMENT OF STUDENT FEES
Payment of Nonresident
Instruction Fee (580-10-080)

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)
(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.
(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 long-standing presence in Oregon and demonstration of other factors under OAR
580-010-0031.
6. The criteria for determining Oregon resident classification shall also be used to determine whether a person who has moved from Oregon has established a non-Oregon residence.
7. If institution records show that the residence of a student or the person upon whom the student is dependent is outside of Oregon, the student shall continue to be classified as a nonresident until entitlement to resident classification is shown. The burden of showing that the residence classification should be changed is on the student requesting the change.
8. Notwithstanding section (4) of this rule, a student who is financially dependent on a non-Oregon resident may nonetheless be considered an Oregon resident if the student resides in Oregon for at least 12 consecutive months with a parent or legal guardian who has both: a. established and maintained an
Oregon domicile under OAR 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,

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. If not resolved after 12 months, the grade becomes an F.
• 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 civility, 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.

17 and older who are or were registered at OSU for at least 1 credit in the requested term. Recruiters may request this information each term. Recruiters may not obtain any information that is not in the above list of student recruiting information. For example, they may not request any of the following: Social
Security Number or ID Number, place of birth, race/ethnicity/nationality, grades and GPA, grades of low-performing students, religious affiliation, names of students with loans in default, veteran status, or names of students no longer enrolled at OSU. Institutions that do not comply with the Solomon Amendment risk losing federal funding from the
Departments of Defense, Education,
Health and Human Services, Labor, and
Transportation. Institutions do not risk losing student-aid funding such as
Perkins Loans, Federal SEOG or Work-
Study funds.
PROGRESS STANDARDS
FOR VETERAN STUDENTS
Programs at Oregon State University are approved for the use of VA benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, Dependents Educational Assistance, and Title
38 and Title 10 of the US Code, or benefits offered by the State of Oregon
Department of Veteran Affairs. The university, through the Registrar’s Office, provides the certifying service to qualified students. 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, 1724, 1775, and 1776, and to those defined by the university in Academic Regulation 22.
AR 22. Satisfactory
Academic Standing
Oregon State University expects students to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion. At the conclusion of each term, grade point averages are calculated and academic standings determined for students seeking a baccalaureate degree according to the criteria outlined 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 enrollment 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 monitors and 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 noncitizen, a national or permanent resident of the U.S. or be in the U.S.
for other than a temporary purpose.
• Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program, e.g. not special admit.
• Have a valid Social Security number.
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by Oregon State
University.
• Comply with the Selective Service registration requirements if required.
• Have a high school diploma or a
General Education Development
(GED) certificate, pass a test approved by the U.S. Department of Education, meet other standards the state establishes that are approved by the
U.S. Department of Education, or complete a high school education in a home school setting that is treated as a home school or private school under state law.
• Sign a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) certifying that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes.
• Sign a statement on the FAFSA certifying that you are not in default on a federal student loan and that you do not owe money back on a federal student grant.
• Demonstrate financial need based on the methodology written into law by the U.S. Congress. (Except for some loans programs.)
To determine eligibility for specific programs, students are required to complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. The application is sent to the Department of
Education’s Central Processing System that analyzes the information according to a method prescribed by Congress. A detailed financial analysis is then forwarded to Oregon State University.
Parent information is required for most undergraduate students because the U.S.
Congress has said that families have the primary responsibility for funding college.
Your dependency status is determined by answers to a series of questions on the
FAFSA Application. Contact the OSU
Financial Aid and Scholarships office if you have concerns regarding your family situation.
If the information you provide indicates you are a dependent of your parents, your ability and your parents ability to contribute to your education is evaluated.
Otherwise, only your resources are evaluated, and if married, those of your spouse.
The major factors considered in the evaluation of your parent’s ability to contribute are their income, net assets
(excluding home and farm), household size, and number in college. To evaluate the amount you are expected to contribute, the analysis considers the amount you earned from work in the previous calendar year (excluding work-study earnings), as well as a portion of assets including cash, savings, checking accounts, equity in real estate (excluding farm and home), stocks, bonds, trust funds and other securities. If you have dependent children, your student contribution will reflect an allowance for the additional expenses for your dependent children.
The amount that is figured from this needs analysis is called your Expected
Family Contribution (EFC). This figure is then used in an equation to determine your financial need: Cost of Education minus your Expected Family Contribution
(EFC) equals need.
Once your aid eligibility has been established, an award package is then assigned to meet your financial need.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Students must apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
Renewal Application and list Oregon State
University as one of their first six choices.
(Federal School code is 003210.) FAFSA applications are available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Entering freshmen can obtain a paper FAFSA at their high school, community college or universities in their area.
Oregon State University requires that the FAFSA be completed and received at the processor by February 28. Money is limited and deadlines are established to award financial aid funds.
All entering undergraduate and graduate students are required to apply for admission to the university before their
FAFSA will be reviewed by the financial aid office. When your FAFSA has been received and processed by the Department of Education Central Processing System, you will be mailed a Student Aid Report
(SAR) or an information acknowledgment
by e-mail if you file online. The SAR will report the information from your aid application and report your Expected
Family Contribution (EFC), the number used in determining your aid eligibility for federal student aid. The results are mailed to you and the schools that you listed on your application. Upon reviewing the SAR and if no corrections are necessary, you may receive financial aid on the basis of that information. If any changes to your SAR are necessary, you may make changes in a few ways.
You can make corrections on Part 2 of the 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 web 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 28 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 2006–2007 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 2006–2007 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 2006–2007 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
2006–2007 was $1,674.
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, post-baccalaureate 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 6.8
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:
• $3,500 for the first year of undergraduate study beginning with
2007–2008
• $4,500 for the second year of undergraduate study beginning with
2007–2008
• $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;
• $12,000 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 available between terms if subsequent term registration exists and no prior emergency exists.
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 off-campus living arrangements.
2006–07 BUDGET FIGURES
Resident Tuition and fees*
Undergraduate .............................. $5,604
Graduate ....................................... $9,687
Room/Board ................................. $7,344
Books/Supplies ............................. $1,443
Misc/Personal ............................... $2,328

Undergraduate Total ............... $28,653
Graduate Total ........................ $26,793
* Tuition and fees are set annually by the
Oregon University System after July 1, 2007.
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
Academic Competitiveness Grant
National SMART Grant
FSEOG
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.

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 sciencerelated 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

These scholarships provide students with an additional year of support.
Qualifications and Selection

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, 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.”)
Noncredit classes in ceramics, photography, woodworking, weaving, and glass are offered through the
Memorial Union Craft Center.
The Department of Music offers more than two dozen performance ensembles, giving student musicians of all majors the opportunity to participate at their level of ability. Students enroll in these organizations as a class and earn regular credit. Some ensembles require an audition. All require a consultation with the instructor. The Corvallis-OSU
Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Wind
Ensemble, Concert Band, Chamber
Choir, Bella Voce women’s chorus,
Meistersingers men’s chorus, jazz band, and the athletic bands present numerous performances on or near campus, in which free or reduced-price tickets are available to students. Faculty members and advanced music majors also perform free, public recitals throughout the school year.
Chamber Music Corvallis and the
Corvallis-OSU Symphony Orchestra bring artists of international fame to campus for public concerts. The Music à la Carte Concert series, held most
Thursdays at noon in the Memorial
Union Lounge, gives students and faculty the opportunity to see fine amateur and professional chamber musicians and performance ensembles for free over the lunch hour. Several dance recitals are also given each year under the auspices of the College Health and Human Sciences and other organizations.

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.

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.

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,

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. a full-time student; b. in good standing with a 2.50
cumulative grade-point average at the time of application and during the quarter prior to exchange; and c. 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.

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.

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

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