Nondegree students

Whether you’re looking for a class to meet degree requirements at another institution, wish to complete a microcredential, or simply seek knowledge to enrich your life, we’ve got you covered. Oregon State University Ecampus is a national leader in online education, and with more than 1,800 courses in 115+ subject areas, you can earn college credit without pursuing an OSU degree.

Application deadlines

Oregon State admits new students in each of our four quarterly terms. We encourage nondegree students to apply before the final application deadline, as course registration opens earlier and seats in classes may fill. Applying early provides more opportunities to register for your preferred courses. Your application is considered complete only when Oregon State has received your online application and payment of the application fee. If your application is not complete by the final deadline, you may request to have it updated for admission consideration in a future term.

Why do we suggest applying earlier than Oregon State’s final application deadlines? We want to give you every chance to succeed, and that means submitting your application early so you have plenty of time to complete the Ecampus orientation, complete any required placement tests or override paperwork and ultimately enroll in your desired courses.
