While each university or college determines their own admissions requirements, the following can be used as a guide for most public institutions in Oregon. These are general admission requirements; additional requirements may apply for scholar ships and honors college, as well as the NCAA’s requirements for athletic eligibility. Please reference the admission requirements for each postsecondary institution for specific requirements including GPA, test scores and other requirements. As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, many universities and colleges have adjusted admissions requirements. Be sure to reference the most up to date admissions information on each university/college website.
