Application deadlines

Oregon State admits new students in each of our four quarterly terms. We encourage postbaccalaureate students to apply by the suggested deadlines listed on this page, but please note that some postbacc application deadlines differ by program. Your application is considered complete when you have submitted the online application and any required supplemental materials, such as your transcripts, as well as paid the application fee.

Why are our suggested application deadlines earlier than Oregon State’s final application deadlines? We want to give you every chance to succeed, and that means completing your application early so you have plenty of time to complete the Ecampus orientation, understand how your credits will transfer and meet with an advisor to register for your courses.
