Frequently Asked Questions for Transfer Students

Your transfer admissions representative is always available to help, but reviewing these frequently asked questions is a great place to start. Explore common topics about credit transfers, financial aid, deadlines, and next steps to feel confident as you plan your transition to ORU.

Yes! We work diligently to consider your previous college-level credits. After you apply and submit your official college transcript(s), we will evaluate your coursework and create an official Transfer Evaluation for you to review. We also offer transfer tools to help you get an early idea of how courses may apply, though those tools are guides, not the official evaluation. ORU’s Registrar notes that a maximum of 72 semester hours from a two-year/community college and 98 credit hours from a four-year institution may be transferred to ORU, with at least 30 hours of your degree required to be completed through ORU.

Terms & Conditions
ORU's Transfer Student Guarantee applies to the timely delivery of services, including transcript retrieval efforts, degree pathway evaluation, and admission consideration, for students who submit a complete application and all required documentation. This guarantee does not constitute a promise or assurance of transfer credit acceptance, applicability of credits toward a specific program, admission into any particular program, eligibility for accelerated or graduate coursework, or completion of a degree within any specific timeframe. All transfer credit evaluations are subject to institutional policies, accreditation standards, course equivalency, verification of official records, and results may change if additional information is received. Degree plans are estimates for planning purposes only and may vary based on individual academic progress and program requirements. By participating, students acknowledge that "guarantee" refers solely to service delivery timelines and processes, not academic or outcome-based results.
