Admissions
Most Commonly Asked Questions from Non-Admitted and Returning Students
- If I was previously admitted to SOU, but did not study at SOU last term, do I need to re-apply for admission?
No. If you have not registered for classes for up to two terms (not including summer term) you do not need to re-apply for admission and may register for classes via SISWeb or at the Enrollment Services Center on campus. - If I was previously admitted, but have not registered for classes at SOU for three terms, do I need to re-apply for admission?
Students who are returning after an absence of 3 terms or more will need to submit a Returning Student Application. - If I want to be a non-admitted student, how many courses can I take?
Non-admitted students can enroll in classes up to a limit of 8 credits. Non-admitted students are not eligible to earn a degree until they apply for admission to SOU. At that time all coursework taken as a non-admitted student will be counted toward the degree you wish to pursue. - Are non-admitted students eligible for financial aid?
No. Non-admitted students are not eligible for financial aid. However, once a non-admitted student applies for admission to SOU and is accepted, then the student is eligible for financial aid. - Where do I go to tour and/or visit campus? Where do I park?
The Office of Admissions will provide you with a free parking pass which you may use in the lot directly off Siskiyou Boulevard next to the Britt Building. Look for the bright red awning that reads "Admissions" for the entrance to the Britt building; the Admissions Office is on your right. If you arrange the tour in advance, you will receive a letter with instructions and a map. You can also download a parking map. - When can I register for classes?
Non-admitted Fall students may register for classes as of August 20th. - Are internships available?
Most departments offer practicum or internship credit. You should contact the practicum coordinator of the department you are interested in for more information about how to attain such credit. - Do you have distance and/or online courses and programs?
