The State of Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) has facilitated the collaboration of Oregon colleges and universities to create tools for transferring between institutions. Students who begin their journey at one Oregon school should be able to transfer to another school with more ease after using the tools. An overview of the transfer tools are available through HECC, and we have summarized the tools for your convenience. We recommend that students who utilize the planning tools from the Oregon Transfer Compass work closely with their academic advisors and admissions counselors to ensure they achieve their desired results.
Core Transfer Maps
The Oregon Core Transfer Maps help you ensure that you’re transferring general education requirements that will meet requirements at any Oregon public universities.
The core map has groups of eight classes that add up to at least nine credits. When a student completes all eight courses at an Oregon community college, they can transfer the full block to any Oregon public university.
Major Transfer Maps
Major Transfer Maps allow students to transfer to an Oregon college or university and count their transfer credits to a specific major. The major transfer maps help students track their progress toward a degree.
Oregon Transfer Module
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) allows students to complete one-year of general education coursework and transfer it to a community college or public university within the state of Oregon.
Taking courses that satisfy the OTM benefit high school students and first-year students who are deciding what they want to study at the University of Oregon. Any student whose coursework conforms to the guidelines of the Oregon Transfer Module will have met the requirements for the Transfer Module at any Oregon community college or Oregon public university. When transferring, schools may require additional coursework for a major or degree requirement to make up the differences between the Transfer Module and general education requirements.
