Applicants with GEDs

If you’ve received your General Equivalency Degree, the University of Oregon is ready to receive your application.

The date of your GED matters:

• If you received your GED after January 2002, your standard score on each of the five examinations must be at least 410, with an overall average of 580 or higher.
• If you received your GED before January 2002, your standard score on each of the five examinations must be at least 40, with an overall average of 58 or higher.

 

Second-language proficiency

If you received your GED in the spring of 1997 or later, you must demonstrate second-language proficiency as described under Freshman Admission Requirements. 

With a GED, you are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores, or high school transcripts. To apply to the UO, complete the application for admission online, but select “GED” as your high school and leave blank the section for coursework.
