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-seeking students to apply by the suggested deadlines listed on this page. Your application is considered complete when you have submitted the online application and 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, complete any required placement tests or override paperwork and ultimately enroll in your desired courses.
