The Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AA-OT) degree prepares students to transfer into the Oregon University System (OUS) with the guarantee that the student has met all of the lower-division general education requirements for the OUS. Upon acceptance at an OUS school, the student is given “junior status” for registration purposes. The AA-OT does not guarantee admissions into specific departments or programs and does not guarantee admission into the student’s OUS school of choice.

Program Requirements


For courses to meet general education requirements, they must be collegiate-level numbered (e.g., 100 or higher). Colleges and universities may have particular general education requirements.  Transfer students must be aware that the AA-OT does not automatically fulfill course requirements for programs.
