Partnerships and Articulation Agreements

Transfer students comprise the majority of students who attend Portland State and the majority of those students transfer from a community college. This is why PSU works hard with our community college partners to help students make the transition.

PSU currently has six co-admission agreements:

Chemeketa Community College

Clackamas Community College

Clark College (Washington)

Clatsop Community College

Mt. Hood Community College

Portland Community College

These agreements allow students to be admitted to PSU while continuing to take classes at their community college. Go to http://www.pdx.edu/admissions/co-admission for more information.

In addition to Co-Admission agreements, PSU has many other specialized articulation agreements that specify how particular Associates degrees as well as individual classes will transfer. The Associates of Arts Oregon Transfer degree and the Associate of Science Business Transfer degree are statewide agreements that allow students who have completed these degrees at their community college to transfer to PSU at Junior standing.

Additionally, PSU has many other specific agreements with community colleges around the state. These various agreements allow coursework that may not generally transfer to be accepted into specific programs at PSU. Please contact Admissions, Registration, and Records at 503-725-3511 for information about  these agreements.
