The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) provides a one-year curriculum for students who plan to transfer to an Oregon community college or university. The module allows students to complete one year of general education foundation course work that is academically sound and will meet the admission standards of the receiving school.
Students should work closely with an academic advisor to ensure selection of appropriate course work. OTM credits may not match program requirements in the receiving school. The OTM supplements, but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective advising. Upon transfer, students may be required to complete additional course work in general education, or an academic major, that is specific to the receiving institution. Students who transfer prior to the completion of the OTM will have their courses individually evaluated by the receiving institution.
The OTM includes course work to complete the equivalent of three academic terms. The course work must be chosen from the courses approved for the categories listed. There are no substitutions. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the time the module is posted.
Note: The OTM is undergoing a continuing improvement process with the Joint Boards Advisory Council (JBAC) and changes may occur.
