The Oregon transfer module (OTM) is a one-year module designed for transfer to any college or university in the Oregon University System (OUS). Upon transfer, the receiving institution may specify additional coursework that is required to complete major or degree requirements or to make up the difference between the OTM and the institution’s total general education requirements.

The module is 45 credits, the equivalent of three academic quarters. The course work must be chosen from College Transfer Courses approved for the A.A.O.T. degree. All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better and must be worth at least 3 credits (quarter system). Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 at the time the module is posted.

This module is an excellent choice for the student who is planning to transfer to a four-year institution and either is undecided on a major or will be majoring in a program of study with specific lower division requirements that are not offered at BMCC. With the one-year module, a student can complete the majority of his or her general education requirements and then transfer to the four-year institution to complete the remaining lower division requirements.

* Science/Math/Computer Science must include at least one biological or physical science with a lab Electives must be chosen from the “Introduction to Discipline” areas.

NOTE: Students indicating the O.T.M. as their only degree intent are not eligible for financial aid.

Transfer courses parallel freshman and sophomore courses offered by four-year colleges and universities. Students normally transfer at the end of the sophomore year to junior standing at the school of their choice.

BMCC offers credits transferable to four-year colleges and universities. Students planning to seek a degree at a specific four-year college or university should familiarize themselves with the requirements of the proposed major program at that college or university. BMCC advisors are available to assist students in this planning process.

In addition to the requirement of the major, OUS institutions require that the student earn credit hours in each of the major academic divisions: arts and letters (language, literature, and the arts), the social sciences, sciences and mathematics, and writing. These are typically referred to as general education requirements, or general university requirements. Students at BMCC who complete the A.A.O.T. as outlined will meet these OUS lower division general education requirements. Specific departmental requirements at OUS institutions can be found in the catalog of the college or university to which the student intends to transfer. OUS institutions generally will accept up to 120 credit hours of lower division course work from Oregon’s community colleges.
