PSU to host transfer information events over the next few months

Portland State University (PSU) will hold three events for transfer students interested in enrolling in the college on April 17, May 16 and June 19.

The event will feature a campus, information on admissions, the academic requirements for attending PSU, information on financial aid and scholarships, information on housing, student health and counseling.

This visit program is not new student orientation and is not intended to provide individual academic advising or access to course registration. This is just a preview of the college.

The minimum grade-point-average required (as shown on the PSU website) to join PSU is a 2.25, or 2.00 if students present a transferable associate’s degree or an Oregon Transfer Module. You will also need to have completed Writing 121 with at least a C-.

To be admitted as a transfer student, students will need 30 or more transferable quarter credits (20 semester credits). Those with fewer than 30 transferable quarter credits must meet both the requirements for college transfer and high school students. Official high school and college transcripts must be submitted.

To sign up for the event go to PSU’s website and look under visit PSU, then look for Transfer Open-House and hit the sign-up button.

For individuals who require any special transportation needs or other accommodations in order to participate in the program, contact the Disability Resource Center at least one week in advance, and call 503-725-4150 or 800-547-8887, extension 4150.
