Admission Requirements for OIT's Portland Campus

Oregon Institute of Technology's Portland Campus works primarily with transfer student applicants. A transfer student is defined as a student with 36 or more college level credits. Students with no prior college credit can be admitted to OIT Portland through one of our Dual Enrollment Programs. Please read through the various admission requirements. If you need additional information or have questions, please contact our offices. East Campus 503-821-1250; West Campus 503-821-1275; Klamath Falls Campus 1-800-422-2017.  We want to help you achieve your educational goals!

Transfer Student Admission Requirments

Students with a 2.25 grade point average (GPA) in 36 quarter (24 semester) hours of transferable college work are normally eligible for admission to OIT. However, we highly recommend that you maintain a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA and that the coursework you are transferring includes college-level English Composition and Algebra. Be sure to have an official transcript from every college you have attended sent directly to the OIT East Campus. If you graduated from high school in or after 1997, you also must provide copies of your official high-school transcripts for evaluation, unless you have completed two or more terms of college-level coursework in a second language at an accredited institution.

If you have less than 36 quarter hours of transferable college-level credit, you will need to submit an official high-school transcript or GED and test scores (SAT or ACT) for evaluation. You also must meet OIT's requirements for freshman admission and high-school core requirements.

Applying for Admission

Before you apply to OIT/Portland, we ask that you schedule an advising session with one of our general education advisors and degree program directors. This meeting will allow you to get more detailed information about OIT Portland, receive an unofficial transfer evaluation, as well as map out the most direct path to reach your educational goals and objectives.

Once you have met with an advisor, you can complete and submit the appropriate application or call OIT Portland to request a printed version. The majority of Portland students use the Dual Admit Application in cooperation with PCC as they will more than likely need to take one or more lower division courses there or at another local Community College. OIT offers rolling admissions throughout the year, but you should observe our priority deadlines if you plan to apply for financial aid and scholarships (Feb. 1).

Once we have received all of the items on the checklist, the Registrar's office in Klamath Falls will provide you with a Transfer Evaluation Report, which will include the number of transferable college credits, your cumulative GPA in the transferable work, and which general-education requirements you have fulfilled. If the evaluation of your college transcripts shows that you have less than 36 hours of transferable work, you will be asked to send high school transcripts and official SAT or ACT test scores.
