This site will allow you to obtain an unofficial transfer credit
evaluation to assist you in your course planning for the University
of Oregon. The information provided is an excellent tool to
unofficially evaluate your coursework from other institutions.
Your transfer credits are evaluated as soon as all of your
official transcripts (and, for fall-term applicants only, your
advanced tuition deposit) have arrived. We send a transfer evaluation
report, showing the number of credits transferred and course
equivalents, to your mailing address before you meet with your
adviser and register for classes. This report tells you which
courses we have accepted and which courses count toward your
general-education requirements. Your major adviser determines
whether your transfer work meets major requirements. For more
information about the general-education requirements, check out
the UO
Catalog.
International transfer students
If you are an international transfer student, please refer to the international transfer admission requirements.
Associate of arts degrees
When you complete an associate of arts Oregon transfer (A.A.O.T.)
degree at an Oregon community college, you will have completed
your writing and group requirements before coming to the UO.
This agreement does not apply to students who earned an A.A.
degree outside Oregon. The UO has articulation
agreements with several Washington community colleges. A list
of schools with articulation agreements is available
online.
Transfer credits
The UO accepts college-level academic course work from regionally
accredited two- or four-year colleges and universities. Credits
from colleges outside the United States are evaluated individually.
To grant transfer credit, we require official transcripts.
The link below assists you in determining transfer course equivalencies for other colleges and universities and how they are used to meet degree and major requirements at the University of Oregon.
Up to 124 credits from an accredited community or junior college
may be applied to a bachelor's degree. Credits earned at a community
or junior college are transferred as lower-division credits
and cannot be used to satisfy the UO upper-division graduation
requirement. If you have more than 124 credits, we accept all
of your course work, but only the 124 credits. Up to 12 credits
of vocational-technical, physical education, and music performance
courses, and up to 48 credits in professional courses such as
veterinary medicine or nursing may be transferred.
Semester and quarter system
One semester credit is equivalent to 1.5 quarter credits. (Multiply
the number of semester credits by 1.5 for the number of quarter
credits.) Students transferring from a school on a semester
system do not lose credits; the credits are just expressed in
a different way. One semester course is generally equivalent
to one quarter course. Occasionally, two semester courses taken
in sequence may be equal to three courses in the quarter system.
GPA calculation and grades
To determine your GPA for admission, we include all attempted
credits for which you received an A, B, C, D, or F, even in
repeated courses. Incompletes and withdrawals are not considered
in the transfer GPA.
We accept transferable courses with grades of D- except for
courses required for transfer admission (one college-level writing
course and one college-level mathematics course) and for courses
that satisfy the general-education requirements in writing,
mathematics, and a second language. Grades of C- or better,
P, or S are required in these courses.
We accept transferable courses graded P or S. However, because
the UO required graded credits (A, B, C, or D), we recommend
that you take no more than 12 credits of P or S work at your
transfer school. We also recommend that all courses in your
intended major, as well as writing, mathematics, and second
languages, be taken for letter grades. If your school offers
only P/N (pass/no pass) or S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory)
grades, contact the UO Office of Admissions.
If you have any questions, comments or wish for
us to add an institution that you do not find on the above listings,
please let us know.
