Applicants with GEDs

The University of Oregon welcomes applicants with GEDs.

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

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

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