Frequently Asked Questions

At Oregon Tech, we give students the opportunity to succeed. Dual Enrollment enables students to concurrently enroll with Oregon Tech and a partner community college while working toward their bachelor's degree. Students complete one application for admission with Oregon Tech and choose one of the following community colleges to dually enroll with: Portland CC, Mt. Hood CC, Clackamas CC, Chemeketa CC, Linn-Benton CC, & Klamath CC.  Dually enrolled students can combine institutional credits at each college to receive “full time” financial aid status. Dual enrollment is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

If you have not already applied to Oregon Tech, you will complete the appropriate dual enrollment application: www.oit.edu/dual-enrollment All dual enrollment applicants must meet Oregon Tech’s admission requirements. Students can qualify for admission as either a freshman or transfer applicant.

2. Concurrent enrollment with Oregon Tech and a community college 
3. Increased flexibility for class scheduling 
4. Exceptional advising at both institutions  
5. Coordination of Financial Aid 
6. Easy access to various Student Services at each institution 
7. Transcript Sharing: dually enrolled students do not need to send transcripts to Oregon Tech at the end of each term. We do the tracking for you!

Students seeking financial aid under the dual enrollment agreement are able to combine their credits at each institution to be considered a full-time student under federal reporting guidelines. Students will work with the Oregon Tech Financial Aid Office to designate which school will be considered their Home Institution and which school will be the Host Institution. The Home Institution will distribute financial aid to the student. A student would then be responsible for taking care of the account at the Host Institution. Students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours with their Home Institution to receive financial aid.

Want more information or to discuss this policy with a financial aid counselor? Contact: dollars@oit.edu or 541.885.1280.

To allow enough time for admissions and financial aid to evaluate your application, you will want to apply at least 3 weeks before the start of your intended term of enrollment. Oregon Tech's Office of Admissions encourages applicants to apply as early as possible. Specific term-by-term application deadlines can be accessed on the Oregon Tech Admissions website. Please remember that you will need to submit all prior transcripts to Oregon Tech and that the transcript ordering process may take a while!

Dually enrolled students will register for courses through the established registration process at each institution. Once accepted to the program, students will be informed of each college’s registration procedures.
