Early Admission. A high-school student who is a resident of Oregon, has a
cumulative GPA of 2.50 or a Scholastic Aptitude Test score of 950 at the end of the
first half of his senior year, and is recommended by his high-school principal will
be granted admission to the University before graduation. On application to the
Director of Admissions a nonresident high-school student will be granted admission
before graduation on the basis of a 3.00 GPA or a 2.50 GPA and a Scholastic
Aptitude Test score of 1,000 at the end of the first half of his senior year and
recommendation of his principal. Enrollment in the University after early admission
is contingent on graduation from high school and submission of a complete
high-school transcript.
Credentials. A student applying for admission to freshman standing must
submit to the Office of Admissions: (1) records of all school work taken beyond
the eighth grade, certified by the proper school official on the official form used by
his high school for this purpose; and (2) certified results of the following College
Entrance Examination Board tests: (a) Scholastic Aptitude Test, (b) achievement
test in English composition, (c) achievement test in intermediate mathematics,
and (d) achievement test in a foreign language, if he has studied a foreign language
for two years in high school. t See also ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS, page 67.
Scores on the College Entrance Examination Board tests are used primarily
as a basis for advising and placement. As indicated above, however, students may
satisfy the University's qualitative standards for admission through a satisfactory
score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Advanced Placement Program. Students who have completed college-level
studies in high school under the Advanced Placement Program sponsored by the
College Entrance Examination Board, and who have received satisfactory grades
in examinations administered by the Board, may be granted credit toward a bachelor's
degree in comparable University courses on admission to freshman standing.

Admission of Transfer Students
Transfer students are persons admitted to the University of Oregon after
having been registered in any other institution of collegiate grade or in a department
or center of extension work, including the Division of Continuing Education
of the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
A transfer student must present evidence that he was in good standing when
he left the college or university previously attended, and must meet certain
qualitative standards of scholastic attainment. The qualitative requirements for
residents of Oregon differ from the requirements for nonresidents: resident students-a
grade-point average of 2.00 covering all previous college work; nonresident
students-a GPA of 2.25.* Transfer students who present fewer than
12 term hours of collegiate credit must also meet the requirements for freshman
standing.
The amount of transferred credit granted depends upon the nature and quality
of the applicant's previous work, evaluated according to the academic requirements
of the University. Records from fully accredited institutions are evaluated before
admission is granted.
.. A nonresident student who is not eligible for admission under the stated conditions may
be admitted if a faculty committee determines that he can probably pursue University studies
with profit.
