Your home institution will not register you for classes. You should register for classes at the university that is offering the courses you want that term. Please note that you will be responsible for any late registration or drop fees according to the regulations of the university offering the course.

After completing a course, you can generally print off an unofficial course transcript from the university teaching the course. You are responsible for collecting your various transcripts and providing them to your advisor for determination of program completion and ongoing advising as you move through the program.

If you do not have a home institution, please fill out the ReadOregon application form. The information from your application form goes to the ReadOregon project office and is shared with the home institution you select so that they can better advise you. You may select Eastern Oregon University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University or Western Oregon University as your home institution, regardless of where you live. Oregon State University is only able to accept OSU alumni or those who are currently in one of OSU's teacher education programs.

If you wish to change your original home institution, you should submit a second application and note in the Comments section why you wish to change. If you are near the end of your program, the academic advisor at the new home institution will have to give you permission. In some cases you will also be required to apply to the graduate school at the new university.

The following chart links to ReadOregon websites at each university, provides an email and phone number for your first contact to your home institution, and also lists a reading/literacy faculty member who is the academic coordinator for the ReadOregon program at your home institution.
