The Reverse Transfer process helps students make more progress toward their degree and earn an associate degree. Students who have studied at one of the Oregon Community Colleges may transfer their Oregon credits back to the community colleges to earn an associate’s degree.
If students are awarded an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer, Associate of Science Oregon Transfer: Business, or an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer: Computer Science degree through the Reverse Transfer Program, they may transfer their degree back to the UO to satisfy the Areas of Inquiry and writing requirements on their audit.
While other associate’s degrees may be awarded through the Reverse Transfer process, they will not satisfy the areas of inquiry and writing requirements at the UO.
Reasons for Opting into Reverse Transfer
- You can make more use of your credits from the University of Oregon and earn the associate's degree if you meet the community college degree requirements.
- The AAOT, ASOT Business, and ASOT Computer Science will fulfill Areas of Inquiry and the writing requirements at the UO.
Eligibility
To be eligible for reverse transfer, you must:
- Be currently enrolled as an undergraduate student in at least one lower-division credit.
- Have completed at least one term at the UO in the past year (4 terms).
- Have transferred at least twenty-four credits from an Oregon Community College to the UO.
- Have earned at least ninety credits overall at all institutions (UO + transfer credits).
- Have fewer than 165 total credits and have not applied to graduate at the UO.
- Have not yet earned an associate’s degree.
If you think you already meet the requirements for an associate’s degree from an Oregon Community College, or are not enrolled for the current term, you can order official transcripts through DuckWeb.
