Transfer Guide Webpage Disclaimer

Transfer guides are a great way for students to assess how community college courses will transfer into one of Oregon Tech’s academic programs. Oregon Tech endeavors to create up-to-date and accurate transfer guides, but requirements can change often. We encourage all interested students to work with advisors at Oregon Tech and their respective community college to maximize transfer credits. Please remember that these are only guides and connecting with an Oregon Tech advisor will ensure updated and specific course-to-course transfer opportunities.
