Oregon Tech offers Sponsored Dual Credit. Students must register and participate in the course at the high school and university to be eligible for credits in the program. The difference between this and traditional Dual Credit is that the teachers have alternative certification through ongoing professional development.

Why should I take dual credit? Earning (or registering for) college credit in high school can benefit students and their families. Research has shown that students who take college credit before leaving high school are likely to enroll and persist through their first year of college.
Transferability and What to Consider When Applying to College
Please keep in mind that colleges and universities have the ultimate responsibility to evaluate all transfer credit and to determine if it meets the standards of their academic programming; therefore there is no exact rule for how credits transfer, whether those credits are from Willamette Promise, another dual credit program, or a more traditional college program.
Oregon Tech credits through the Willamette Promise transfer to most public institutions, but sometimes they may transfer as elective credits. Some small, private, liberal arts colleges have rigid credit transfer policies and do not accept any type of accelerated or dual enrollment credits.
Policies for credit transfer are typically listed on a university’s website, with their admissions information. We encourage you to take a look at the policies for the universities to which you plan to apply. Then, make an informed decision about where you choose to apply that includes understanding these policies.
We are happy to help individual students and families through this process, contact us for more information if needed.
Ready to transfer your credits?
Please use the link below to request transcripts for your Willamette Promise Courses.
You will need to have your identifying information to complete the request. Plan to request transcripts when you are ready to apply to colleges and universities because official transcripts will be required for your application. Once you open them, they are "unofficial”.
