Oregon Transfer Module

Students will advance to sophomore standing upon completion of the OTM.

A minimum of 45 credits in classes numbered 100 or above with a grade point average of at least 2.0 are required to earn the OTM. Students must also earn a grade of "C-" or better in each foundation skills course. Credits must be selected from the requirements listed below.
