The PSU Extended Campus program accommodates students that transfer with junior standing, having 90 quarter-credits or more. Students with fewer than 90 credits in transfer may be able to apply for co-admission status with one of the participating community colleges (Portland CC, Chemeketa CC, Mt. Hood CC, Clackamas CC, Clatsop CC and Clark CC).
Please consult an Extended Campus advisor if you are unsure of which admission option to choose:
A. Transfer with junior status:
- Complete 90 transferrable credits from an accredited institution.
- Students who transfer in with an Oregon Transfer Associates Degree will automatically receive junior status.
- Apply for admission as a transfer student (see below).
B. Transfer with Co-admission status:
- Consult an Extended Campus advisor to see if you are eligible for co-admission.
- Class standing is set once all lower-division credits are completed at the community college. You need to complete at least 90 lower division credits to attain junior standing.
- Eligible students can receive financial aid from PSU for courses taken at both PSU and the community college.
- Apply for co-admission to PSU and community college (see below).
