Western Oregon University (WOU) is offering the opportunity for current and incoming Concordia University-Portland students to be instantly admitted to WOU at a Portland open house on Friday, Feb. 21. There will be numerous representatives from WOU's student services and academic programs on site to answer questions and offer advising. The open house will be in the McMenamins Kennedy School Gymnasium from noon to 3 p.m. at 5736 N.E. 33rd Ave.
To be admitted on-site, current Concordia students looking to transfer to WOU should bring a copy of their Concordia transcript (official copy preferred). Those admitted for fall 2020 should bring a copy of their high school or prior institution transcript (official copy preferred). Admissions applications will be available to complete at the open house and the application fee will be waived.
Any undergraduate or graduate student transferring from Concordia or who had been accepted for fall 2020 admission to Concordia will receive at least $1,000 toward WOU tuition. Students must add WOU’s school code (003209) to their FAFSA/ORSA and/or scholarship application and may be eligible for more financial assistance.
WOU is striving to be the most affordable transfer opportunity for Concordia students and offers personalized support to help students find pathways to graduation. WOU has created a dedicated team to support Concordia students interested in attending Western Oregon and contact information for those individuals can be found at wou.edu/WelcomeCavs.
