~EGULAR SESSION - University of Oregon

Academic Regulations
Admission
TO BE ADMITTED to the University of Oregon a student must be of good
moral character and must present evidence of acceptable preparation for work at
the college level. Every person wishing to earn credit in the regular sessions of
the University must file with the Director of Admissions: (1) an application on
an official University form; (2) official transcripts of all high-school and college
records.
Application and transcripts of records should be filed well before the applicant
intends to enter the University; late filing may delay or prevent registration.
If a student fails to submit the required documents in complete and satisfactory
form, his admission and registration may be canceled. All records submitted
become the property of the University.
Students planning to enter the University in the fall term should file their
applications for admission with the Director of Admissions not later than August
31. A late-filing fee of $10.00 is charged if applications are filed later than this date.
Deferred Enrollment. If it is determined, before the opening of the 1964-65
session, that the University enrollment will otherwise exceed the total on which
the 1964-65 budget is based, a plan of deferred enrollment may be put into effect.
Under this plan, the qualitative requirements for admission will remain unchanged.
But, in the case of students whose records are submitted after the effective
date of the plan, permission to enroll in the fall term will be given on the
basis of more restrictive qualitative standards; students who do not meet these
more restrictive standards but do meet general standards stated below will be
officially admitted to the University with enrollment deferred until the winter or
spring term. Early submission of applications may, therefore, be of great advantage
for students planning to enter the University in the fall term.
Admission to Freshman Standing
To be admitted to freshman standing in the University, a student must be a
graduate of a standard or accredited high school and, in addition, meet certain
qualitative educational standards. The qualitative requirements for residents of
Oregon differ from those for nonresident students:
Resident Students. To be eligible for admission with freshman standing in the
fall term, a student who is a resident of Oregon must: (1) have a 2.25 gradepoint
average in all high-school subj ects taken for graduation; or (2) attain a
satisfactory score on the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude
Test; or (3) achieve a GPA of 2.00 on a full load of studies (at least 9 term
hours) in a regular collegiate summer session, including a course in English
composition and two or more courses from the fields of literature, social science,
or science.
To be eligible for admission on the basis of high-school grades in the winter
or spring terms, a resident student must have a high-school GPA of 2.00.
Nonresident Students. To be eligible for admission with freshman standing,
a student who is not a resident of Oregon must: (1) have a 2.75 grade-point
average in all high-school subjects taken for graduation; or (2) have a 2.25 highschool
GPA combined with a satisfactory score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test;
