DPP allows students to take advantage of what both schools have to offer.
Combine your enrollment at both Western Oregon and Linn-Benton Community College to achieve full time enrollment for financial aid purposes. Take courses at both institutions and be enrolled at both schools simultaneously.
Get admitted to WOU, take WOU classes, meet your instructors and advisors while still taking courses at Linn-Benton Community College. Transfer to WOU or complete your associate’s degree.
All students in this program who complete 36 or more transferable credits or a transfer associate degree at Linn-Benton Community College with a maintained GPA of 2.25 will be guaranteed admission to WOU.
While entry to WOU is guaranteed, time to completion of requirements is dependent on prior coursework taken.
Apply for admission to WOU: Complete our regular admissions process. Be sure to start this process as early as possible so you can start the term of your choice! Already a WOU student? Go straight to Step 2!!
Signup for DPP: You’re now a WOU student! Become a DPP participant, and get the benefits associated with the program, by submitting the Degree Partnership Program – Declaration form that is in your WOU student portal.
Receive additional financial aid support, if needed: Reach out to financial aid for any questions about federal, state, and institutional funds you might be eligible for. We’re here to help you navigate the process! WOU’s Financial Aid Navigator can be found here as well to guide you every step of the way.

While we suggest scheduling an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss the exact ways in which your credits will transfer, there is also a tool you can use yourself to look into the ways that transfer credits should be applied from LBCC towards your WOU degree. That tool can be accessed here: https://ssb-prod.ec.wou.edu/PROD/wou_web.p_trans_artic – if you do not see a class you have taken listed or you have questions about equivalency, we encourage you to reach out to an academic advisor for help!
