Oregon Academic
State University Advising
at Oregon State University
Academic Advising
OSU recognizes that quality academic advising is integral to the academic development and well-being of students.
Quality academic advising includes both the prescriptive elements of advising (assisting with course selection, maintaining curriculum checklists, tracking degree progress and completing degree audits, etc.) and the developmental
aspects of advising (major and career decision making, integration in campus and academic cultures, assistance with
and referrals surrounding issues affecting a student’s academic success, etc.).
While each college has developed an advising system sensitive to the needs of its academic disciplines and departments, there is consistency in that each also has a head advisor. Undeclared students receive advising through the
University Exploratory Studies Program (UESP).
Vision
Oregon State University aspires to be recognized nationally for excellence in academic advising among land
grant institutions.
Mission
Oregon State University academic advising is a teaching and learning process dedicated to student success. Academic advising engages students in developing a plan to realize their educational, career and life goals.
Values
The values associated with OSU advising are closely aligned with the stated values of the university.
Accountability: We are committed to providing timely, accurate, and intentional advising.
Diversity: We honor the unique nature and interests of each student. Advising services and delivery methods will
be shaped to fit the diverse needs of our campus populations.
Respect: We seek to establish a reciprocal relationship with students based on an ethic of care and shared
responsibility.
General Information
Social Responsibility: We foster a culture of independent thinking
and global awareness so that students make informed, socially responsible choices consistent with their academic, career and life goals.
Integrity: We seek to engage students in a fair and professional process of meaningful self-reflection and authentic inquiry.

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 statesupported. The state assumed complete
control in 1885.
General Information
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, was renamed the
School of Education. 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.
Presidents of the institution since its
founding are
1. William A. Finley, 1865–72; Joseph
Emery, 1872 (acting);

Reserved number courses such as
401/501/601. See Reserved numbered
courses.
Certificate program (undergraduate): A specified interdisciplinary
program of study leading to an official
certificate and notation on the transcript.
A certificate program draws from more
than one department, rather than a
single department (as with most minors).
The certificate program must be taken
in conjunction with a formal degree
program. An undergraduate certificate
requires a minimum of 27 credits.
Certificate program (postbaccalaureate): A specified program of study
of undergraduate courses leading to an
official certificate and notation on the
transcript. A completed baccalaureate
degree program is required. A postbaccalaureate certificate program requires a
minimum of 27 credits.
Certificate program (graduate): A
structured progression of graduate-level
courses that constitute a coherent body
of study with a specific defined focus
within a single discipline or a logical
combination of disciplines. It is designed
for students who have completed a
baccalaureate degree and are in pursuit
of advanced-level learning. A graduate
certificate requires a minimum of 18
graduate credits.
Certificate program (professional): A site-based training and professional development certificate that is not
transcript visible.
Course: An organized unit of instruction or research. Types include lectures,
recitations, laboratories, discussions,
internships, clerkships, reading and conference, independent study, and other
categories of courses.
Credit: Credits vary, depending upon
the type of course and level at which it
is offered. One credit is generally given
for three hours per week of work in and
out of class. For example, each hour of
class lecture is generally expected to
require two hours of work out of class.
One credit would be given for a lecture
course that met for one 50-minute period
each week over a 10-week period; i.e.,
10 contact hours between faculty and
students. One credit is typically given for
a laboratory course that meets for two to
three hours per week for an entire term.
Equivalent credits are given for recitations, discussions, and other types of
courses. All credits given in the General
Catalog refer to quarter credits.
Curriculum: (plural curricula):
An organized program of study and
courses required for a specific degree or
certificate program.
Degree: An academic award granted
upon satisfactory completion of a set of
collegiate-level educational requirements.
Discipline: A field of study in which
a student may concentrate, such as sociology, anthropology, or mathematics.
Doctoral degree: An approved academic award given as a sign of proficiency in scholarship and for the satisfactory
completion of an instructional program
requiring at least three 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

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

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

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,
official scores from one of these tests
are required for admission and 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.
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to the university. The university may evaluate a person’s
behavior and background to determine
their ability to maintain the standards
of academic and professional conduct
expected at the university. An evaluation may take into consideration current
behavior and performance as well as past
experiences and actions. Simply qualifying for admission does not guarantee
admission.
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 nonacademic, 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.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR
ADMISSION CONSIDERATION
U.S. Citizens
and Permanent Residents:
1. Successful completion of no less
than 36 quarter (24 semester)
graded, transferable credits from
(an) accredited U.S. institution(s).
Students with at least 12 quarter but
fewer than 36 graded transferable
hours will be considered on the basis
of their high school records and test
scores, and must have a 2.25 GPA
on all collegiate work attempted.
2. Only college-level, transferable
credits are counted in those
accepted in the GPA computation
(professional-technical course grades
are not included).
3. Grade of C– or better earned in the
following courses:
ƒ College-level writing beginning
with WR 121 (English
Composition) or equivalent.
ƒ Mathematics course with course
content of College Algebra
for which the prerequisite is
Intermediate Algebra.
ƒ Two terms of the same of foreign
language in college will be
required of those high school
graduates of the class of 1997 and
beyond who did not successfully
complete two units (years) of
foreign language while in high
school.
4. Eligibility to return to most recent
college or university attended.
5. Academic performance is not the
sole criterion for admission to the
university. The university may
evaluate a person’s behavior and
background to determine their
ability to maintain the standards of
academic and professional conduct
expected at the university. An
evaluation may take into
consideration current behavior
and performance as well as past
experiences and actions. Simply
qualifying for admission does not
guarantee admission.
Consideration will be given to applicants
with a 2.00 GPA and an Associate of Arts
Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree from an
Oregon community college.
EVALUATION AND
TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDIT
Only official records are used to evaluate eligibility for admission and transferability of credit.
Official transcripts of all college
work attempted must be submitted
directly from the Registrar’s Office of
each institution. Telefax (Fax) credentials
are considered official if faxed directly
from a U.S. school with a cover page. Our
fax number is 541-737-2482.
OSU accepts in transfer all college-level
courses successfully completed at colleges
or universities accredited by an appropriate accreditation agency. An advanced
standing report acknowledging the
courses accepted by the university will be
sent via e-mail by the Office of Admissions after the official letter of admission.
Persons transferring to OSU from a
community college may have up to 124
term credits (83 semester units) accepted
toward their bachelor’s degree. If the
school previously attended used the semester system, one semester credit equals
1.5 quarter credits at OSU.
CLEP
Applicants who want credit for College
Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests
should have official test scores sent to
admissions using college code 4586.
Additional details are available in the
OSU Credit Opportunities brochure 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
lower-division quarter credits. For
Institutional Requirements for
Baccalaureate Degrees, see AR 25.
Students are encouraged to work
with the relevant academic unit to
ensure that transfer credits meet
department and college requirements
for the degree. It would be unlikely
for an individual student to be able
to use all 124 credits toward an
OSU baccalaureate degree. 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 Associate of Arts
Oregon Transfer) or who have 90 or
more credits accepted in transfer will
be granted junior standing.1 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. In addition, they
must complete the upper-division
Synthesis areas of the core. Students
transferring from Oregon or other
accredited community colleges
Admission to Oregon State University
who do not hold approved direct
transfer degrees ordinarily will be
given baccalaureate core credit in
the Perspectives and Skills area on a
course-by-course basis for work that
is judged to be equivalent in content.
b. Transfer of Professional-Technical
Credits: 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 that can
be applied toward a baccalaureate
degree.
c. Transfer of Professional-Technical
Course Credits through Articulation
Agreements: Lower-division OSU
credit may be awarded for specific
professional-technical community
college courses when those courses
are validated by articulation
agreement with the appropriate
OSU department. This may be above
the 12 quarter credits of general
electives (graded as Pass) allowed
when a student is admitted to OSU.
Credit will be awarded only upon the
recommendation of the appropriate
department and college, and
approval by the Curriculum Council.
Community college professionaltechnical course work is not equated
to upper-division OSU course work.
These course credits will count
as part of the 124 quarter credits
defined in paragraph 2a above. OSU
departments who have articulation
agreements with community colleges
regarding community college
professional-technical courses shall
review the agreements annually and
forward a dated list of the articulated
community college courses to the
Curriculum Council.
Footnote
1. Junior standing does not necessarily
imply that OSU institutional, college,
division, and/or departmental
requirements, which are normally
satisfied by OSU students prior to their
junior year, have been satisfied.
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.
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 Kerr Administration Building
basement.
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 requires full admission as a regular
student.
17
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 eight
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
student(s) who wish to take graduate
courses but do not wish to pursue
an advanced degree. Nondegree
graduate students are not limited as
to the number of courses (credits) per
term.
c. Credits earned as a nondegree
undergraduate student may be
used to satisfy degree requirements
upon admission as a degree-seeking
student.
d. Credits earned while enrolled as a
nondegree graduate student will
not necessarily apply to a graduate
program upon admission to degreeseeking status. The student should
refer to the admission requirements
given in the Graduate School section
of this catalog. Communication with
the Graduate School and specific
academic programs is advised.
e. Nondegree students seeking
admission to a degree program may
do so by filing 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

Oregon State University
a choice available to undergraduates who
are undecided about a major. Students
may change their major in consultation
with an academic advisor.
ADMISSSION OF
POSTBACCALAUREATE
STUDENTS
OSU Baccalaureate Students
Students whose baccalaureate degrees
were from OSU may re-enroll 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.
ADMISSION WITH
GRADUATE STANDING
To be considered for admission to the
Graduate School, an applicant must have
a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, as well as a
scholastic record, background, or other
evidence that indicates the ability to do
satisfactory graduate work. See the Graduate School for further information on
advanced degree and nondegree graduate
student status. Also see Graduate Admission Procedures in this catalog.
ADMISSION OF
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
International students are admitted according to standards established for each
country. OSU admission standards are
the equivalent of the standards for U.S.
students. International applicants must
provide certified English translations for
all credentials not originally issued in
English, be qualified to enter a university
or graduate school in their own country,

admission requires:
a. On-campus testing of English
language proficiency prior to
enrollment.
b. Compliance with a specified plan
for English and academic course
work during each quarter until such
time as the student qualifies for
nonconditional admission.
Appeals from the specified plan are made
to the head advisor at the undergraduate
level and to the Graduate School at the
graduate level.

in English-speaking countries such as
Canada, United Kingdom, etc.
b. Graduate applicants who have
finished a previous college degree in
an English-speaking country.
c. Those who have completed English
course work or taken other tests
deemed to be equivalent to the
required minimum score on the
TOEFL.
Additional detailed information is available on the admissions Website.
A student with less than a four-year
bachelor’s degree, or with a diploma,
certificate, or title not accepted by OSU
as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree,

of military credit by furnishing the Office
of Admissions with official AARTS or
SMART transcripts.
Transcripts may be obtained through
their homepage at ARMY (AARTS) http://
aarts.army.mil/, or NAVY and Marine
Corpse (SMART) https://smart.navy.mil/
smart/welcome.do. Additional information and links to other service pages can

procedures, and deadlines are detailed
in the Schedule of Classes on the Web. A
student is officially registered and eligible
to attend classes only when all procedures have been completed, including
payment of tuition and fees.
In addition to the basic information
regarding registration, the Registration
Information Handbook is an essential
source document to the student for
the academic calendar, fee schedule,

more terms, not including summer terms,
should contact the Registrar’s Office to
reactivate their records. All others may
proceed with registration following the
registration instructions in the current
Registration Information Handbook.
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 re-entry. 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.

to records.
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 edu-
20
Oregon State University
cation 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:
“Oregon Transfer Module Complete day-month-year”
Earning a Degree at Oregon State University
UNIVERSITY DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS
Current degree requirements are printed
each year in the “Academic Regulations
and Procedures” section of the Registration
Information Handbook and in the electronic or printed General Catalog, along
with other information on a wide range of
topics from minimum credits for full-time
status to adding courses. All students are
encouraged to review this part of the Registration Information Handbook and electronic or printed General Catalog each year
for the most current information about
OSU requirements and procedures.
Students with questions about baccalaureate degree requirements are encouraged
to contact their advisor. Students needing
assistance in selecting a major or selecting
an advisor may wish to call or stop by the
college office.
THE BACCALAUREATE
EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University is committed to
creating an atmosphere of intellectual
curiosity, academic freedom, diversity, and
personal empowerment. This will enable
everyone to learn with and from others. This compelling learning experience
celebrates knowledge; encourages personal
growth and awareness; acknowledges
the benefits of diverse experiences, world
views, learning styles, and values; and engenders personal and societal values that
benefit the individual and society.
OSU will develop curricula based on
sound disciplinary knowledge and input
from practitioners. Students acquire skills
and knowledge for a lifetime of learning, and will be involved in scholarly and
creative pursuits.
The baccalaureate degree includes:
• the baccalaureate core
• an in-depth study in at least one
major; and
• individual elective courses.
Minors are available in many areas and
are required in certain programs. Students
should check departmental requirements.
The Baccalaureate Core (Bacc Core) Curriculum represents what the OSU faculty
believes is the foundation for students’
further understanding of the modern
world. Informed by natural and social sciences, arts, and humanities, the Bacc Core
requires students to think critically and
creatively, and to synthesize ideas and information when evaluating major societal
issues. Importantly, the Bacc Core promotes understanding of interrelationships
among disciplines in order to increase
students’ capacities as ethical citizens of an
ever-changing world.
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. (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.
BACCALAUREATE CORE

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 upperdivision 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 effect 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 (#1 above) 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.
27
OTHER GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
BA Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred
for broad and liberal education in various approved areas (typically humanities, arts, social science, and sciences).
Requirements for the BA degree differ
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. See Academic Regulations for
more details.
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
28
Oregon State University
work applied to the subsequent credential. A student who has received a previous bachelor’s degree from OSU may be
granted a subsequent option or major
by completing current requirements for
the option or major, receiving the dean’s
approval, achieving a minimum 2.00
cumulative grade point average on work
taken for the subsequent credential, and
taking a minimum of 15 credits of OSU
course work applied to the subsequent
credential.
Requirements for Certificates
See individual certificate programs described in this catalog.
Requirements for
Advanced Degrees
For advanced degree requirements see
the Graduate School section of this
catalog or contact the Graduate School.
Students who take courses they wish to
apply toward an advanced degree before
they have received baccalaureate degrees
may have a limited number of credits
reserved by petition. Also see Reserving
Credits in the Graduate School section.
A graduate student also may obtain
baccalaureate degrees from Oregon State
University by satisfying the requirements
for subsequent degrees.
APPLYING FOR 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 three 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 quarter
so he or she has time to complete any
deficiencies prior to the last quarter.
Students who wish to change graduation
dates after the first application must file
the change in the Office of the Registrar
before the final quarter.
Degrees are granted at the end of each
quarter, and students are encouraged
to attend the June commencement
exercises.
DEGREES WITH DISTINCTION
Grade point averages are computed on
the basis of all work attempted at OSU.
Graduates who have been in attendance
at OSU for at least two years are awarded
degrees with distinction as follows:
Academic
Distinction
Cum Laude
Magna Cum
Laude
Summa Cum
Laude
OSU
GPA
Range
Graduation
Honor
Cord Color
3.50–3.69
Orange
3.70–3.84
Gold
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 are also reminded that
individual retention and re-enrollment
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.
Academic Regulations
INTRODUCTION
These regulations and procedures are
published to assist students by providing
information that is essential for planning
and pursuing their academic programs.
Continuing efforts are made each year by
the students, faculty, and administration
to revise and improve these regulations
in order to enhance the quality of the
university’s programs and the achievement of educational goals.
Every student is responsible for knowing the academic regulations and for
observing the procedures that govern his
or her relations with Oregon State University. Unless otherwise specified, these
regulations apply to both undergraduate
and graduate students. Any question regarding these regulations that cannot be
answered by a student’s academic advisor
should be referred directly to the Office
of the Registrar (102 KAd). Additional
information regarding Graduate School
policies should be addressed to the Office
of the Graduate Dean (300 KAd).
Some students encounter special problems whose proper solution may require
deviations from the academic regulations
or procedures. Requests for such deviations in the regulations below must be
presented to the Office of the Registrar
on petition forms, which are available
in that office. Petitions received by the
Registrar will be forwarded to the proper
committee or office for review and appropriate action. Requests for deviations
from Graduate School policies should
be presented by letter to the graduate
dean (See Graduate School section of this
catalog).
Other special problems may involve
academic issues such as academic freedom in the classroom or evaluations of
a student’s academic performance. All
students should appeal academic grievances first to the instructor of the course
and then to the chairman or head of
the department in which the course is
offered. If the situation is not resolved
to the student’s satisfaction, an undergraduate student should consult with the
head advisor of the college in which the
course is offered to obtain further information about appeal procedures of the
college or university; a graduate student
should consult the dean of the Graduate
School regarding academic appeal procedures above the departmental level. (Appeal procedures for other than academic
grievances, e.g., grievances regarding
student employment, financial aid, housing, discipline, human rights, etc. are
outlined in the Student Life Policy and
Regulations, which are available on the
OSU Website under “Student Conduct”
or from the Office of Student Involvement, 149 MU East. Some of these
regulations pertain to both undergraduate and graduate students. The Graduate
School section of this catalog outlines
both academic appeal procedures and
those relating to the employment of
graduate students.)
AR 1. ADMISSION FOR
NONDEGREE STUDENTS
a. Nondegree enrollment status for
undergraduate students is designed
for students who wish to take eight
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
student(s) who wish to take graduate
courses but do not wish to pursue
an advanced degree. Nondegree
graduate students are not limited as
to the number of courses (credits) per
term.
c. Credits earned as a nondegree
undergraduate student may be
used to satisfy degree requirements
upon admission as a degree-seeking
student.
d. Credits earned while enrolled as a
nondegree graduate student will
not necessarily apply to a graduate
program upon admission to degreeseeking status. The student should
refer to the admission requirements
given in the Graduate School section
of this catalog. Communication with
the Graduate School and specific
academic programs is advised.
e. Nondegree students seeking
admission to a degree program may
do so by filing an undergraduate,
postbaccalaureate, or graduate
application for admission.
AR 2. CREDIT FROM A
TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION
(UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS)
a. College Transfer Credits:
Oregon State University accepts
for credit toward a baccalaureate
degree all college transfer work
completed at an Oregon or other
accredited community college up to
124 lower-division quarter credits.
For Institutional Requirements for
Baccalaureate Degrees, see AR 25.
Students are encouraged to work
with the relevant academic unit to
ensure that transfer credits meet
department and college requirements
for the degree. It would be unlikely
for an individual student to be able
to use all 124 credits toward an
OSU baccalaureate degree. 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 Associate of Arts
Oregon Transfer) or who have 90 or
29
more credits accepted in transfer will
be granted junior standing.1 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. In addition, they
must complete the upper-division
Synthesis areas of the core. Students
transferring from Oregon or other
accredited community colleges
who do not hold approved direct
transfer degrees ordinarily will be
given baccalaureate core credit in
the Perspectives and Skills area on a
course-by-course basis for work that
is judged to be equivalent in content.
b. Transfer of ProfessionalTechnical Credits: 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 that can
be applied toward a baccalaureate
degree.
c. Transfer of ProfessionalTechnical Course Credits
through Articulation
Agreements: Lower-division OSU
credit may be awarded for specific
professional-technical community
college courses when those courses
are validated by articulation
agreement with the appropriate OSU
department. This may be above the
12 quarter credits of general electives
(graded as Pass) allowed when a
student is admitted to OSU. Credit
will be awarded only upon the
recommendation of the appropriate
department and college, and
approval by the Curriculum Council.
Community college professionaltechnical course work is not equated
to upper-division OSU course work.
These course credits will count
as part of the 124 quarter credits
defined in paragraph 2a above. OSU
departments who have articulation
agreements with community colleges
regarding community college
professional-technical courses shall
review the agreements annually and
forward a dated list of the articulated
community college courses to the
Curriculum Council.
AR 3. CREDIT FROM AN
UNACCREDITED INSTITUTION
(UNDERGRADUATES)
After three terms of work at Oregon State
University satisfactory to the Undergraduate Admissions Committee, a student
may request validation of work done in
an unaccredited institution of collegiate
30
Oregon State University
rank. The committee will consider each
petition separately and base its decision
on all information available. In some
instances, informal examinations by the
departments concerned may be required.
Credit for transfer of professional-technical work will be awarded in accordance
with paragraphs 2b and 2c.
AR 4. CLASSIFYING STUDENTS
a. Undergraduate students: A
student who has earned at least 45
credits is classified as a sophomore.
A student who has earned at least
90 credits is classified as a junior. A
student who has earned at least 135
credits is classified as a senior.
b. Postbaccalaureate students:
A student holding a baccalaureate
degree who is admitted to work
toward a second baccalaureate degree
or teaching certificate is classified as a
postbaccalaureate student.
c. Graduate students: A student
who has been admitted to the
Graduate School is classified as a
graduate student.
AR 5. TRANSFER FROM
ONE COLLEGE TO ANOTHER
(UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS)
Registered students may transfer from
one college to another at any time. Returning but not-registered students may
transfer colleges between the dates of
readmission and registration.
AR 6. CHANGE IN CREDITS
SCHEDULED
No change may be made in the number of credits specified for the various
courses and published in the OSU General
Catalog.
AR 7. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
REGISTRATION
a. The minimum number of credits
for which a full-time undergraduate
student may register is 12, and the
maximum is 19, regardless of the
method of grading used for the
classes selected. (In determining
the load for students not normally
held responsible for physical
education, the credits in activity
courses in physical education will be
disregarded.) The maximum may be
extended:
1. Up to and including 24 credits
when a student has completed
in his or her most recent term at
least 12 credits in courses other
than those graded P/N and S/U
with a grade point average of 3.00
or better or when a student has
filed with the Registrar a petition
approved by his or her advisor and
college dean (or head advisor).
2. Over 24 credits by petition
approved by a student’s advisor
and college dean (or head advisor)
and the Academic Requirements
Committee and filed with the
registrar
b. The minimum number of credits for
a full-time graduate student is 9; the
maximum is 16. The maximum can
be extended by approval of the dean
of the Graduate School.
1. Degree seeking graduate students
must take a minimum of 3 credits
for any term in which they are
enrolled.
2. The following FTE and credit
allowances are permitted for
graduate students holding an
academic appointment.
FTE
Credits
.15 to .29
15
.30 to .50
12
Appointees on graduate
assistantships are limited to the
above credits during each term.
AR 8. LATE REGISTRATION
Registration is permitted through the
tenth class day of each term. Late fees are
assessed in accordance with the fee policies stated in the Schedule of Classes.
AR 9. ADMISSION TO CLASS
a. Instructors will receive lists of
students in their classes within two
days after the opening of the term.
Subsequent lists will include the
names of later registrants. Students
whose names appear on these lists
are officially registered; others are
to be referred immediately to the
Registrar’s Office for completion of
registration.
b. If it is anticipated that the demand
for enrollment in a given course
will exceed the maximum number
that can be accommodated, the
department offering the course may
designate it in the Schedule of Classes
with the code “NSHD” (no-showdrop). A student who is registered
for such a course who attends no
meetings of the course during the
first five school days of the term
will be dropped from the course by
the instructor, unless the student
has obtained prior permission for
absence. If such action is taken,
the instructor will send written
notice through the department to
the Registrar’s Office, which in turn
will notify the student that the
course has been dropped from his
or her schedule. Students should
not assume they have been dropped
unless they receive notification from
the Registrar’s Office. No fee will be
charged.
AR 10. ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible to hold office or to participate in any extracurricular activity
supervised by Oregon State University,
students must meet certain requirements.
a. For student activities, students are
responsible for following the Student
Life Policy and procedures.
b. For participation in intercollegiate
athletics, students must meet all
institutional Pac-10, and NCAA
requirements. Students should
contact the Compliance Office in
the Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics on all such matters.
AR 11. ADDING AND DROPPING
COURSES
a. Students may add courses through
the first ten class days of each
term, depending on the nature
of the course and the availability
of space. From the sixth class day
through the tenth class day of each
term, permission (signature) of the
instructor offering the course must
be obtained.
b. A student may drop courses without
responsibility for grades through the
tenth class day of each term. After
the tenth class day of each term
courses may not be dropped. Failure
to drop a course properly will result
in an F grade being recorded; courses
properly dropped do not appear on
the student’s transcript
c. Add/drop fees will be assessed in
accordance with the fee policies
stated in the Schedule of Classes.
AR 12. WITHDRAWAL FROM
INDIVIDUAL COURSES
Students may withdraw from a course
with a W grade after the tenth day of
classes and through the end of the seventh week of classes. After the seventh
week of classes, students are expected to
complete the program attempted and
will receive letter grades (A, B, C, D, F,
I, S, U, P, N) for all courses in which
enrolled unless they officially withdraw
from the university. Procedures for
withdrawal from individual courses are
outlined in the term Schedule of Classes.
AR 13. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
a. Any student in good standing (See
AR 22) is entitled to withdraw
without prejudice at any time prior
to the beginning of finals week. This
may be accomplished by the student
obtaining from the Registrar’s Office
the proper form and directions for
completing the process.
b. Withdrawal from the university
prior to the beginning of finals week
will result in the grade of W being
Academic Regulations
recorded for each course for which
the student is registered.
and physical education activities are
allowed.)
c. When a student’s academic progress
is interrupted by an emergency
situation such as serious illness,
accident, or death of a family
member, within the last four weeks
of the term, and the student submits
evidence of such to the Registrar,
he or she may withdraw from
the university with I grades in all
subjects.
b. Course work shall continue up
to final week. Final examinations
shall be given during finals week
in accordance with the finals week
schedule. If a final examination is not
to be given in a course, this action
must be approved by the department
with notification to the Registrar’s
Office. Requests for changes in the
time of final examinations will be
submitted to the Registrar’s Office.
AR 14. ATTENDANCE
Attendance is one of the most important
factors in a student’s academic success.
Therefore, an instructor may consider attendance in arriving at a student’s grade.
While attendance should not be the
primary factor in determining a student’s
academic accomplishment in a course,
it may be used as a partial measure of
performance.
c. All student petitions for changes in
the time of final examinations must
be made using forms available from
the Registrar’s Office. (A summary of
university final examination policy
is printed on the form.) Petitions
for changing final examinations are
submitted directly to the instructor.
Students may forward disapproved
petitions through the dean of the
college to the Registrar’s Office.
Requests to change the assigned final
examination time for an entire class
must be approved by the Registrar’s
Office. Final examinations may not
be changed to the week preceding
final week without approval of the
Academic Requirements Committee.
AR 15. HONESTY IN ACADEMIC
WORK
The administration of the classroom rests
with the instructor. When evidence of
academic dishonesty comes to the instructor’s attention, the instructor should
a. document the incident,
b. permit the accused student to
provide an explanation,
c. advise the student of possible
penalties, and
d. take action.
The instructor may impose any academic penalty up to and including an
“F” grade in the course after consulting
with his or her department chair and informing the student of the action taken.
Using the standard form, the instructor
must report the incident and the action
taken to his or her department chair,
who, in turn, shall forward the report to
his or her dean.
If the student is not enrolled in the
college or school in which the course
is offered, the dean of that college shall
forward the report to the dean of the
college or school in which the student is
enrolled for possible disciplinary action.
Grade penalties imposed as a result of
academic dishonesty may be appealed
by the student in accordance with the
procedures developed by the department and college or school in which the
course is offered.
AR 16. FINALS WEEK
a. No final, midterm, or comprehensive
examinations shall be given during
the week preceding final examination
week. (Examinations on laboratory
work, course material covered by
“weekly” or “section” quizzes,
television courses, ROTC activities,
d. No extracurricular activities or
curricular activities other than
examinations and final class
meetings shall be scheduled during
final week.
AR 17. GRADES
The grading system consists of twelve
basic grades, A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–,
D+, D, D–, and F. The grade of A denotes
exceptional accomplishment; B, superior;
C, average; D, inferior; F, failure. Other
marks are I, incomplete; W, withdrawal;
R, thesis in progress; P, pass; N, no-credit;
S, satisfactory; U, unsatisfactory; AUD,
audited course; WAU, withdrawal from
audited course.
When a requirement of a course has
not been completed for reasons acceptable to the instructor and the rest of the
academic 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. The
instructor must submit the grade the
student will earn if the missing work is
not completed. That alternate grade will
become the default grade if the missing
work is not completed. The instructor
documents the deficiency and the deadline for completing the missing work. A
record of the deficiency shall be kept on
file in the unit or department office. The
allotted time awarded shall in no case
exceed one calendar year or the time of
the degree conferral, whichever comes
first. To remove the I grade, the student
31
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 Registrar’s Office
will automatically change the I grade
on the student’s record to the alternate
grade submitted by the instructor at
the time the I was given. The alternate
grade will be included in the grade point
average. Under no circumstances shall
a student who earns an A–F grade or an
N or U grade have their grade changed
retroactively to an I grade.
An instructor may move to correct a
grade by filing a Change of Grade Card
in the Registrar’s Office. The Office of
the Registrar will routinely review grade
changes.
AR 18. ALTERNATIVE GRADING
SYSTEMS
In addition to traditional letter grading (A–F), Oregon State University has
adopted two alternative grading systems
to be employed in accordance with the
provisions outlined below:
a. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U)
1. Undergraduate students may elect
to be graded on a Satisfactory/
Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis in a
course (except P/N courses) under
the following conditions:
a. A maximum of 36 credits of those
presented in satisfaction of the
baccalaureate degree may have
been graded on an S/U basis at
Oregon State University.
b. A student normally elects
the option S/U at the time of
registration. Changes either
to or from S/U grading will be
permitted through the end of the
seventh week of any term.
c. A student must obtain the
approval of his or her academic
advisor or dean in order to elect to
be graded on an S/U basis.
2. Graduate students may elect to
take undergraduate courses on
the S/U basis except those courses
required for the removal of
deficiencies. Graduate courses may
also be taken on an S/U basis. (Such
courses cannot be used as part of
a student’s graduate program. All
other provisions of S/U grading
apply to graduate students.)
3. A grade of S (satisfactory) shall be
equivalent to grades A, A–, B+, B,
B–, C+, C, and C–. A grade of U
(unsatisfactory) shall be equivalent
to grades D+, D, D–, or F.
4. Grades of S or U shall have no
grade point equivalents; hence
such grades shall not be included
in the computation of grade point
averages. The credit of courses in
32
Oregon State University
which an S grade is obtained shall
be counted toward graduation.
Credits shall not be awarded for U
grades.
5. Election of S/U grading for a
course shall be known only to the
student and the academic advisor.
Instructors shall enter on grade
forms the traditional letter grade
(A–F) earned. Automatic conversion
to S grades and to U grades will
be made in the Registrar’s Office.
Grades of I, or W may be assigned
wherever appropriate.
6. In compliance with Section III of
the Statement on Student Rights,
Freedoms, and Responsibilities
(dated April 28, 1969), disclosure
or nondisclosure of the traditional
letter grades received in courses
in which S grades were awarded
is recognized as an exclusive
right of the individual student.
The Registrar’s Office is obliged
and authorized to honor requests
for disclosure, provided that the
express consent of the student is
obtained.
b. Pass/No Credit (P/N)
1. Those courses in which traditional
letter grading has been deemed
inappropriate because of the
nature of the course content or the
objectives of the course are graded
on a Pass/No Credit (P/N) basis.
2. Grades of P or N shall have no
grade point equivalents; hence
such grades shall not be included
in the computation of grade point
averages. The credits of courses in
which a grade of P is obtained shall
be counted toward graduation.
Credit shall not be awarded for N
grades.
3. Departments are authorized to
designate Pass/No Credit courses,
subject to the following guidelines
and procedures:
a. The principal criterion for
choice of grading system is
enhancement of the educational
experience for the student;
b. The nature, structure, and/
or objectives of a course may
suggest that the Pass/No Credit
grading system be adopted. It is
anticipated that courses graded
on this basis will generally
fall into one of the following
categories: skill-building
courses or practicums, courses
which stress orientation and
awareness rather than academic
preparation;
c. The designation of Pass/No
Credit grading for a course will
follow the academic college’s
recommendation and approval
by the University Curriculum
Council, and in the case
of graduate courses, by the
Graduate Council. Designation
of courses for P/N grading
must be completed prior to
the opening of the term in
which the course is offered and
normally prior to preparation of
the Schedule of Classes.
4. Courses approved for grading on a
Pass/No Credit
(P/N) basis are identified in the
General Catalog course descriptions
and in the Schedule of Classes.
c. Nothing stated in the above
paragraphs shall be construed as
constituting support for petitions
requesting change of grade in courses
taken during or prior to spring term,
1971.
AR 19. GRADE POINTS
Grade points are computed on the basis
of:
• 4 points for each credit of A grade,
• 3.7 for each credit of A– grade,
• 3.3 for each credit of B+ grade,
• 3.0 for each credit of B grade,
• 2.7 for each credit of B– grade,
• 2.3 for each credit of C+ grade,
• 2.0 for each credit of C grade,
• 1.7 for each credit of C– grade,
• 1.3 for each credit of D+ grade,
• 1.0 for each credit of D grade,
• 0.7 for each credit of D– grade, and
• 0 for each credit of F.
Marks of I, W, P, N, R, S, U, AUD, and
WAU 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. Thus a person
receiving 1 credit of A, 2 credits of B,
3 credits of C, 4 credits of D, 5 credits
of F would have 20 grade points (1 x 4
plus 2 x 3 plus 3 x 2 plus 4 x 1 plus 5 x
0). The grade point average would be
20 (grade points) divided by 15 (credits)
equals 1.33. A “C” average on 15 credits
attempted would require 30 grade points;
if the student has 20 points, he or she is
10 grade points deficient.
AR 20. REPEATED COURSES
Courses may be repeated once for grade
replacement. Both grades will appear on
the academic record, but only the second
grade will be counted in the cumulative grade point average and toward
graduation requirements. Courses taken
more than two times will appear on the
academic record but not count in the
cumulative grade point average. Regardless of the number of times a course is
repeated, credits earned will be counted
only once for graduation requirements.
Recognized repeatable courses, such as
activity courses, research, seminars, and
selected topics, do not come under this
restriction. A student receiving an A–F
grade can only replace such a grade in
the GPA calculation with another A–F
grade (not with an S/U grade.)
AR 21. HONOR ROLL
At the close of each term, the OSU Registrar publishes a list containing the names
of all undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students who for the term have
completed at least 12 graded credits with
a grade point average of 3.50 or above.
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 advisors.
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 collegelevel 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.

the Registrar’s Office, the candidate is
responsible for declaring whether or not
he or she will attend commencement,
regardless of the term in which requirements are completed.
AR 30. AUDITING COURSES
Audit registration permits a student
to enroll in a course for no credit and
no grade. Course requirements for an
audited course will be determined by the
course instructor. Audit registration is
available to admitted and non-admitted
students. Audit registration begins on
the sixth day of registration and ends
with the close of registration at the
conclusion of the tenth day of class.
Those who wish to audit should contact
the Registrar’s Office for registration
procedures, which will require approval
of the course instructor. Audit courses are
assessed instructional fees at the same
rate as for credit courses. Any changes to
an audit registration are subject to the
same procedures, deadlines, and special
fees as for registration changes to regular

course, the designation of “AUD” will be
recorded on the transcript. The designation of “WAU” will be recorded on the
transcript for students who withdraw
from an audit course.
Academic Regulations
Footnotes
1. Junior standing does not necessarily
imply that OSU institutional, college,
division, and/or departmental
requirements, which are normally
satisfied by OSU students prior to
their junior year, have been satisfied.
2. As an alternative to departmental
examinations, students may seek
credit through the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) to
the College Entrance Examination
Board. CLEP includes nationally
normed subject matter examinations
and general examinations covering
material included in a number of
relatively standard courses taught in
colleges and universities throughout
the United States. Some of these
subject matter examinations and
general examinations have been
accepted by departments at this
institution. Policy guidelines have
been established that make it
possible for admitted and enrolled
students to (a) transfer credits earned
though these accepted CLEP subject
matter and general examinations to
this institution, providing certain
criteria are met, and (b) earn credits
through accepted CLEP subject
matter and general examinations
providing certain criteria are met.
Further information about CLEP can
be obtained from Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS), 5th
floor, Snell-MU East.
3. Lists of approved courses may be
obtained from advisors. Approved
courses are also listed in the OSU
General Catalog.
4. Some degree programs may require
more than 180 credits.
5. Unearned credits are those courses
for which a grade of “F”, “N”, “U”,
“I”, “W”, “Y”, “AUD”, or “WAU”
are assigned as a final grade for that
course. All other grades are calculated
as earned credit.

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/

tuition_info.
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 “eBill and eCheck” at
http://oregonstate.edu/fa/businessaffairs/
studentfinance/eBill/.
You may pay your tuition and fees in
the following ways:
OSU currently accepts eCheck, paper
checks, money orders and cash as acceptable payment methods. Students can use
Student Online Services as a convenience
option for making credit card payments.
Please see the Cashier’s Office Payment
Information Section for more details regarding all acceptable payment methods.
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.
EFFECTIVE FALL TERM 2008:
If you are enrolled for the current term,
you will be allowed to register for the following term only if your account balance
consists of charges only from recent academic terms—the current term and one
term prior—and your overall 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.

1. All students classified as nonresidents
shall pay a nonresident fee.
2. Refunds of the nonresident fee may
be granted if the student shows that
the classification previously assigned
was in error, but no such refund
shall be made unless the student
applies and submits all supporting
information for residency status prior
to the last day to register for the term
in which the student seeks change of
status.
Enrollment of Spouse and
Dependent Children (580-010-086)
The spouse and dependent children of
regular department staff members with
a full-time equivalent of at least .50 may
enroll as students at resident fee rates in
department institutions.
Fees and Residency Requirements
Student Exchanges (580-010-085)
1. (a.) Under the WICHE student
exchange program, certification of
students as Oregon residents for
purposes of attending institutions
not under board control or in other
states shall be guided by rules set
forth in Division 10. In order to be
considered for WICHE certification,
the student’s completed application
must be received by the certifying
officer on or before October 15 of
the year preceding admission. An
application received after that date
in an envelope postmarked not later
than October 15 will be deemed
to have been received on the 15th.
Residency shall be determined as
of the date of the application for
WICHE certification, not as of
the date of expected admission
or registration to an institution.
(b.) Persons applying for WICHE
certification must be certified as
Oregon residents and placed in
ranked preference order within each
program. Ranked preference order
is determined by a score based on
the grade point average of all college
work plus .25 times the number of
years of residence in Oregon up to a
maximum of ten years.
2. a. The department and separate
institutions may enter into
agreements with individual
institutions in other states or other
countries whereby resident students
specified by name in the Oregon
institutions may transfer to the other
institution, and an equal number of
students specified by name from the
other institution may transfer to the
Oregon institution with a reciprocal
waiving of additional fees ordinarily
assessed to nonresident students in
both institutions.
RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION
FOR TUITION PURPOSES
In Oregon, as in all other states, tuition
at publicly supported four-year universities is higher for non-resident students
than for resident students. The rules used
in determining residency seek to ensure
that only bona fide Oregon residents are
assessed the resident fee. Those rules–Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 580,
Division 10-Board of Higher Education—
appear below.
Only duly authorized residency officers have the authority to apply and
interpret these rules and procedures. No
other indication or determination of residency by any other institutional office,
department, program or staff represents
the official institutional determination of
residency.
Residency for tuition purposes is
determined at the point of admission. At
Oregon State University, the residency
officer is a member of the Office of Admissions’ management team. If a person
wishes to change their residency status,
a residency affidavit must be filed with
the residency officer no later than the
last day to register for the term in which
residency is sought. This day is always
the second Friday of the term.
Establishing residency for tuition purposes is much different than the rules
for voting, driving and filing taxes. 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. For more
information, contact the Office of Admissions, 541-737-4411, and ask for the
Residency Officer.
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.
45
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
46
Oregon State University
maintained an Oregon domicile shall
be presumed to be a nonresident.
This presumption may be overcome
by evidence of the student’s longstanding presence in Oregon and
demonstration of other factors under
OAR 580-010-0031.
6. The criteria for determining Oregon
resident classification shall also be
used to determine whether a person
who has moved from Oregon has
established a non-Oregon residence.
7. If institution records show that
the residence of a student or the
person upon whom the student is
dependent is outside of Oregon, the
student shall continue to be classified
as a nonresident until entitlement to
resident classification is shown. The
burden of showing that the residence
classification should be changed is on
the student requesting the change.
8. Notwithstanding section (4) of this
rule, a student who is financially
dependent on a non-Oregon resident
may nonetheless be considered an
Oregon resident if the student resides
in Oregon for at least 12 consecutive
months with a parent or legal
guardian who has both:
a. established and maintained
an Oregon domicile under
OAR 580-010-0029(1) for 12
consecutive months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a college
student.
RESIDENCY CONSIDERATION
FACTORS (580-010-0031)
1. The following factors, although not
necessarily conclusive or exclusive,
have probative value in support
of a claim for Oregon resident
classification:
a. Reside in Oregon for 12
consecutive months prior to
the beginning of the term for
which resident classification is
sought and during that period be
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of a college
student;
b. Reliance upon Oregon resources
for financial support;
c. Domicile in Oregon of persons
legally responsible for the student;
d. Acceptance of an offer of
permanent employment in
Oregon; and
e. Ownership by the person of his or
her living quarters in Oregon.
2. The following factors, standing
alone, do not constitute sufficient
evidence to effect classification as an
Oregon resident:
a. Voting or registration to vote;
b. Employment in any position
normally filled by a student;
c. The lease of living quarters;
d. Admission to a licensed practicing
profession in Oregon;
e. Automobile registration;
f. Public records, for example, birth
and marriage records, Oregon
driver’s license;
g. Continuous presence in Oregon
during periods when not enrolled
in school;
h. Ownership of property in Oregon
or the payment of Oregon income
or other Oregon taxes; or
i. Domicile in Oregon of the
student’s spouse.
3. Reliance upon non-Oregon resources
for financial support is an inference
of residency in another state.
EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL
DEPENDENCY (580-010-0033)
1. In determining whether a student
is financially dependent, a student
must provide:
a. Evidence of established
domicile as provided under
OAR 580-010-0029(1) of the
person claiming the student as a
dependent; and
b. The identification of the student
as a dependent on the federal
and state income tax returns of
the person claiming the student
as a dependent. Additional
documentation to substantiate
dependency during the current
calendar year may be required at a
later time if deemed necessary by
the institution.
2. A student who provides evidence that
he or she is a financially dependent
person under these rules shall not
be required to establish a 12-month
domicile prior to classification of
resident status, provided such a
student may not be classified as a
resident while receiving financial
assistance from another state or state
agency for educational purposes.
RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION OF
ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL
(580-010-0035)
1. For purposes of this rule, members of
the armed forces means officers and
enlisted personnel of:
a. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard of the
United States;
b. Reserve components of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard of the United
States;
c. The National Guard of the United
States and the Oregon National
Guard.
2. Notwithstanding OAR 580-010-0030,
active members of the armed forces
and their spouses and dependent
children shall be considered residents
for purposes of the instructional fee if
the members:
a. Reside in this state while assigned
to duty at any base, station, shore
establishment, or other facility in
this state;
b. Reside in this state while serving
as members of the crew of a ship
that has an Oregon port of shore
establishment as its home port or
permanent station; or
c. Reside in another state or a foreign
country and file Oregon state
income taxes no later than 12
months before leaving active duty.
3. An Oregon resident entering
the armed forces retains Oregon
residence classification until it is
voluntarily relinquished.
4. An Oregon resident who has been
in the armed forces and assigned on
duty outside of Oregon, including
a person who establishes residency
under section (2)(c) of this rule,
must, within a reasonable time,
demonstrate an intent to retain
classification as an Oregon resident.
Such intent may be shown by
returning to Oregon within six
months after completing service in
the armed forces.
5. A person who continues to reside
in Oregon after separation from
the armed forces may count the
time spent in the state while in the
armed forces to support a claim for
classification as an Oregon resident.
6. The dependent child and spouse
of a person who is a resident under
section (2) of this rule shall be
considered an Oregon resident.
“Dependent child” includes any
child of a member of the armed
forces who:
a. Is under 18 years of age and not
married, otherwise emancipated
or self-supporting; or
b. Is under 23 years of age,
unmarried, enrolled in a full-time
course of study in an institution
of higher learning, and dependent
on the member for over one-half
of his/her support.

Grades, Regulations, and Records
GRADING SYSTEM
Grades
The grading system consists of:
• A = Exceptional, 4.0 grade points per
credit.
• A– = 3.7 grade points per credit.
• B+ = 3.3 grade points per credit.
• B = Superior, 3.0 grade points per
credit.
• B– = 2.7 grade points per credit.
• C+ = 2.3 grade points per credit.
• C = Average, 2.0 grade points per
credit.
• C– = 1.7 grade points per credit.
• D+ = 1.3 grade points per credit.
• D = Inferior, 1.0 grade point per
credit.
• D– = 0.7 grade point per credit.
• F = Failure, 0.0 grade point per credit.
• G = Reserved for Graduate Credit, no
grade point per credit.
• I/Alt Grade = Incomplete, no grade
points or credits. If not resolved after
12 months or degree conferral, the
“I” reverts to the alternate grade.
• 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/Alt, 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
49
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.
1232g) provides that Oregon State University students have the right to inspect
and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the uni-

Oregon Financial
State UniversityAid
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

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 post-baccalaureate 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

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
53
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.

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

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.

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 lo-
cated 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.

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
55
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.

Scholarships and Awards
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 natural-resource
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.

Art 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. The Department of Art features
the Fairbanks Gallery of Art www.oregonstate.edu/fairbanksgallery, which features
exhibitions focusing on contemporary
Northwest, national, and international
artists. This program provides the campus and student communities diverse
creative experiences and interactions.
The Visiting Artists and Scholars Lectures
Series also brings internationally acclaimed artists to the Department of Art
for free public lectures.
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

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, postsecondary 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 ASOSU is similar to
other forms of national government.
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 task force
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.
Through the ASOSU Leadership and
Social Change Internship, students spend
between 2 to 6 hours per week working
95
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 create your
own path into campus governance at
OSU.
Students can also serve as representative on one of the various campus
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.
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.

of ethnic minority and nontraditional
students.
After arrival on campus, the particular
needs of the individual student are identified from placement tests, academic
records, and information obtained from
the student. An academic plan of tutoring, counseling, and advising is developed that determines the nature of the
student’s participation in EOP. The plan
is subject to continual re-examination
and may be revised at any time by the
student and staff together.

General information
The English Language Institute helps
provide international students with the
broad range of language, academic, and
cultural skills necessary for competent
study at an American college or university. The institute offers instruction in
English as a Second Language (ESL) in
a variety of courses: reading, writing,
speaking, listening comprehension, and
academic preparation for students who
want intensive English study and for
students conditionally admitted to OSU.
The ELI’s Learning Center has language
books, tapes, videos, software, and writing and pronunciation assistants.
The academic experience is supplemented by social, cultural, and recreational activities. The American conversant program arranges at least one hour
per week of conversation with native
speakers, usually university students. Students at the ELI have the same privileges
as regularly enrolled students in the use
of campus recreational facilities, library,
bookstore, and student health and counseling services.
The English Language Institute assists those in the profession of teaching
English to speakers of other languages by
supporting scholarship and professional
development opportunities. In addition, it serves as a local, national, and
international resource in matters related
to second/foreign language instruction,
educational technology, and intercultural
communication.
Diagnostic Testing
The ELI provides assistance to prospective graduate teaching assistants at
OSU by evaluating their language skills,
identifying deficiencies, and offering a
special course each fall for international
graduate teaching assistants. The ELI
administers the Internet-based TOEFL
(iBT) at OSU. Registration is through ETS
at http://www.ets.org/toefl.
Part-Time Options
for OSU Students
The ELI provides resources in the ELI
Learning Center for international students and scholars who want to improve
their communication skills. Students can
use the ELI’s specially designed technology resources on their own to improve
their pronunciation.
OSU students may be able to benefit
from a fee splitting arrangement with the
ELI whereby they can take an ELI class
without paying extra tuition.
Services to OSU Faculty/Staff
For a small fee, OSU international faculty
and staff can use the resources in the ELI
Learning Center to refine their English
language skills on their own or with a
Writing and Pronunciation Assistant.
In addition, custom language enhancement courses for interational groups are
also available as elements in grants and
contracts. These courses vary in length
from two weeks to nine months and address English for specific purposes, such
as agriculture and education, as well as
teacher training programs.

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
102
Oregon State University
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.
University Housing and Dining
Services’ main goals are to help students
succeed academically, become active citizens of their communities, and to enrich
and enjoy their university experience.
Through the Department of University
Housing and Dining Services, students
can make arrangements for meals and
accommodations, consult with residential life staff, bring suggestions for
improvements, and receive assistance on
their concerns and interests. Emphasis is
upon helping students achieve academic
success and providing comfortable, safe,
reasonably priced living accommodations and programs.
RESIDENCE HALLS
Through its 12 residence halls, the university offers a variety of living environments, including special program halls,
designated quiet floors, coeducational
facilities, and substance-free housing and
an academic success program focus with
faculty-in-residence.
• Weatherford Residential
College is the home of the Austin
Entrepreneurship Program for
students from any major interested
in turning their business ideas into
reality.
• West International Hall offers
cultural diversity programs for U.S.
and international students.
• McNary Hall is home to Honors
College students.
• Wilson Hall is focused on
engineering, math, and science.
• Halsell Hall has a program focused
on the needs of upperclass students
(non-first year students) and provides
for gender inclusive (apartment
style) assignments for those students
choosing this option.
• Bloss Hall is home to our
interdisciplinary program in
community service learning.
Most student rooms are designed for
double occupancy. A limited number of
single rooms are available in each hall.
All residence halls are smoke-free.
The residence hall dining program
features an a la carte meal service, with
services offered in Marketplace West,
McNary Central, and Arnold Dining
Centers, as well as Bing’s Café located in
Weatherford Residential College. Residential students have a choice of flexible
meal plans, which can be used in any of
the UHDS operated dining facilities and
cafes.
For more detailed descriptions of
residence halls and cooperative houses,
please visit the University Housing and
Dining Services’ Website at http://oregonstate.edu/uhds.
COOPERATIVE HOUSES
The six cooperative houses at Oregon
State University provide small-group
living experiences for approximately 250
students. House capacities vary from 40
to 60. Student residents are responsible
for developing their internal governmental organizations. Incoming students
receive help from returning cooperative
members in adjusting to the university
and to the unique, dynamic atmosphere
of the cooperative. Cooperative members
reduce their board-and-room costs by
performing work duties for three to five
hours per week in the houses. All cooperatives are smoke-free.
Oregon State University owns and
operates four cooperative houses: Azalea
House, Dixon Lodge, and Oxford House
for women, and Avery Lodge for men.
105
Beaver Lodge and Varsity House are
independently owned and accommodate
men.
Information and application forms
may be obtained from the Department of
University Housing and Dining Services
or from the individual private houses
respectively.
RESIDENCE HALL AND
COOPERATIVE RESERVATIONS
Once admitted to OSU, students submit
an online application and fee to make
reservations for university-owned residence halls and cooperatives at http://
oregonstate.edu/uhds. Flexible academic
year contracts are available to all students. Students can also choose a termby-term (one term at a time) contract
in Poling Hall. Comprehensive UHDS
information packets titled Life on Campus
are mailed out to all admitted students
or are available from the Department of
University Housing and Dining Services,
541-737-4771.

DIFFERENCE, POWER,
AND DISCRIMINATION
Jun Xing, Director

541-737-2760
jun.xing@oregonstate.edu
Website: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/dpd/
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
Learning Centers and Programs
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.

Website: http://oregonstate.edu/uesp/
The University Exploratory Studies Program (UESP) is an academic advising program for students who choose to explore
majors at Oregon State University.
Students who are undecided about
a major can elect to enroll in UESP.
UESP students work through a decisionmaking process to help them learn more
about themselves and the numerous
academic options that OSU offers. They
are encouraged to declare and transfer to
an academic department once they have
found the best fit. As part of a successful academic and university experience,
UESP has targeted several important
learning outcomes for its students:
• Able to articulate and appreciate the
purpose of higher education and
what it means to be a member of a
community of scholars.
• Able to identify fields of study that
are consistent with their interests,
abilities, and life goals.
• Participate in university
opportunities outside of the
classroom (clubs, residence hall
activities, lectures, campus events,
etc.) to facilitate their holistic
development.
•
Possess a better understanding
of how personal values relate to
educational and life goals.
• Possess knowledge of how to find
information about majors and
departments on campus.
• Consider how individual interests
and abilities might fit with the
requirements of certain OSU majors.
• Know where and how to access
appropriate support services to
accommodate their unique needs.
UESP believes that regular consultation
with a trained academic advisor will aid
students in meeting these learning outcomes and moving through the major
decision making process. UESP students
are required to meet with an advisor
at least once a term to discuss major
options and to plan coursework for the
subsequent term. Many students in UESP
will also utilize DISCOVER, ALS 114,
and the UESP Website to assist in their
exploration. UESP and Career Services
co-sponsor access for all OSU students to
DISCOVER, a comprehensive career planning Website. Students can use the site to
help them clarify their interests, values,
and abilities, as well as find extensive
information about the world of work.
UESP coordinates ALS 114, Career Decision Making, a two-credit class available
each term to any first- and second-year
student interested in exploring major
and career options in a classroom setting.
UESP also provides a departmental Website with exploration strategies, information about major and career exploration
events on campus, and links to several
career information Websites.

The Network Engineering Team (NET)
supports data transport and Internet services for the campus network
backbone and from remote sites such
as OSU Extension Service, Agricultural
Experiment Stations, the Hatfield Marine
Science Center, and the Cascades Campus in Central Oregon. Services include
network routing, switching, monitoring
and security; access to e-mail, news, ftp
and WWW; support of departmental
computer administrators and local area
network operating systems; and deployment of new data transport and access
technologies.
OSU receives its connection to the
global Internet through The Network
for Education and Research in Oregon
(NERO). OSU, along with OHSU, PSU,
and UO, connect to NERO using its own
fiber optic cable at speeds in excess of
1 gigibit per second. NERO aggregates
traffic to and from the global Internet
for OUS and other public agencies in
Oregon, with Internet transit provided
by commercial providers in Eugene and
Portland. NET works closely with NERO
on technical issues related to providing
this service to OSU.
NET is also working with state and
regional partners to improve network
infrastructure and services in the Northwest. Known as the OWEN consortium,
this effort includes OUS, community
colleges, K–12 schools and state government. OWEN was named in honor of the
late Dr. John Owen, who was instrumental in creating NERO while dean of
engineering at OSU and vice chancellor
for OCATE (Oregon Center for Advanced
Technology Education).
As a charter member of the Internet2
consortium, Oregon State is participating
in the development of next generation
network technologies. OSU maintains a
high-speed connection to Internet2 via
the Abilene network.
Telecommunications offers resident
students access to private phone service
with free local calls and special rates for
long-distance, voice mail, call waiting
and three-way calling, free cable television hookup; with direct access to the
campus Ethernet computer network.
Other services provided to the OSU
campus community include telephone
and voice mail services to all departments on campus, pagers, cellular
phones, and FAX services. Information is
provided through the campus operators
as well as the Staff Directory.
All telephone work is handled by
the telecommunications staff working
with departmental telephone coordina-
tors in each campus department. Repair
service calls are handled through the
OSU Telecom Help Line by calling
541-737-4357. The OSU switch is the
hub of the Oregon University System
Telecommunications network, linking
all eight of the OUS institutions and the

responding to questions, and providing
educational information. OSU students
support their communities, gain practical
experience and learn through Extension
placements, applying academic learning
to address local community needs.
Extension educational programs are
developed in response to the needs of
people in Oregon. Needs are identified by OSU Extension faculty, who are
located throughout the state in county
offices. Off-campus faculty, who work
with people to assess their needs, partner
with members of Extension’s on-campus
faculty to prepare and deliver useful
educational programs. About two-thirds
of OSU’s Extension faculty and staff are
located in offices off campus. Financial
support is from county, state, and federal
governments, grants, and other sources.
