The University of Oregon is a test-optional institution. We will review your application with or without SAT or ACT scores present. However, these test scores can be used as an option for meeting certain requirements, such as demonstrating English proficiency or for students who attend non-accredited high schools. In those situations, it is the applicant’s responsibility to have those scores sent to the University of Oregon from the College Board (SAT) or ACT in a timely manner. SAT and/or ACT scores will not be used in any freshman scholarship decisions even if submitted.

Please mark here that you agree and understand that the University of Oregon will review your application as complete without SAT or ACT scores being received, and that the University of Oregon will not use these scores for scholarship consideration even if provided.

I have read and agree with the above statement

By continuing below you are indicating your intent to apply as an incoming freshmen student. A freshman student is a person who will graduate from high school (or earn a GED) prior to enrolling at the UO and will not have attempted any credits at a college and/or a university after high school graduation (coursework started after high school graduation). If this is incorrect, please adjust your answers to the questions above. If you are unsure please contact the Office of Admissions (admissions@uoregon.edu).

Will you have completed at least 24 semester or 36 quarter credit hours in college (typically a year of full-time enrollment) after the year you would have graduated high school?

If that is incorrect, please review and change the answers you've provided above to ensure you access the correct application type. If you are unsure please contact the Office of Admissions (admissions@uoregon.edu).

By continuing below you are indicating your intent to apply as a transfer student. UO defines a transfer student as a high school (or international equivalent) graduate who has attempted any credits at a college, university, or through a credit-granting program (coursework attempted or achieved after high school graduation). If this is incorrect, please adjust your answers to the questions above. If you are unsure or your status, please contact the Office of Admissions (admissions@uoregon.edu).

Did you earn any credits via exams (e.g. AP, IB, CLEP)?
