Individual Admissions Review

Students who do not meet EOU’s minimum admission requirements but can demonstrate strong potential to be successful in college-level coursework and progress toward a degree may be provisionally admitted to the university by petitioning for Individual Review. The Admissions Individual Review Committee may set additional conditions for students who are provisionally admitted to help maximize their chances for success.

Students seeking provisional admission to EOU are asked to provide further evidence that they can be academically successful in college coursework and progress toward a degree:

1-Any Transcript not Previously Submitted with Application to EOU(all transcripts, including college transcripts for any dual credit courses completed in high school and transcripts of any high school grades earned since initial date of application.)

2-Personal Essay: The personal essay written by the student is one of the most important parts of the petition for provisional admission to EOU, giving the committee a fuller understanding of each applicant’s goals, strengths, and likelihood of success in college-level courses.

学生应该向专业的教师、工作人员和顾问发表他们的声明，这些人负责审查提交的证据，以确定申请人是否已经准备好应对目前大学水平的严格工作。The personal statement should answer the following questions in detail (approximately 500 – 700 words total, typed and proofread) :

• Why have you chosen to apply to Eastern Oregon University?
• What do you hope to study and why?
• What do you consider to be your greatest strengths academically? What examples or evidence of these strengths have you included in your petition for admission, if any?
• In what areas have you struggled that have affected your academic success? What strategies have you used, or do you plan to use, to address these challenges? Please provide specific examples if possible.
• If admitted to EOU, what steps will you take to be academically successful in your first year? Please include any EOU or outside resources you plan to use to support your success.
• Is there any other evidence or information you would like the committee to consider as they assess your readiness for college-level work at EOU?

3-Supporting Materials:从下面的列表中提供至少两份额外的证据，以帮助委员会评估您在EOU的学术成功潜力。与你的学习成绩直接相关的证据越多越好。

• Accuplacer– Take the math and writing portion of the Accuplacer placement exam through the EOU Testing Center (online or on campus) and submit both placement recommendations and raw scores (highly recommended for GED students)
• Letters of Educational Recommendation– Submit letters of educational recommendation from teachers, school administrators, and/or guidance counselors familiar with your academic ability. These letters should discuss your preparation for college-level reading, writing and/or mathematics, providing specific evidence and examples if possible that will help the committee evaluate your ability to make academic progress at EOU. Please avoid submitting letters from individuals who have not worked with you in core academic areas. (Minimum of two educational letters recommended for recent high school graduates; each letter counts as one piece of evidence.)
• Letters of Professional Recommendation-提交来自主管、指挥官或其他个人的专业推荐信，这些人可以有效地评估你为大学水平工作所做的准备。推荐信应该解释他们与你的关系，包括他们认识你多久，以什么身份认识你，并提供具体的证据和例子，如果可能的话，这将有助于委员会评估你在EOU取得学术进步的能力。写信的人对大学水平的期望和你对大学水平阅读、写作和/或数学的准备越熟悉，这些信件在评估你的申请时就越有用。请避免提交来自亲密朋友和家人的信件。(至少两封专业和/或教育信件，推荐成人和非传统学生;每封信都可以算作一份证据。)
• Writing or Professional Work Sample– Submit a writing or professional work sample that demonstrates your preparation for college-level work. Please include a brief description of when this work was completed, over what length of time, and for whom, including whether it was an individual project or a collaborative one. If collaborative, indicate which elements best represent your own work. Provide the name and contact information of a teacher or supervisor who can verify that this is your original work.
• SAT or ACT Scores– Submit official SAT and/or ACT scores

In most cases, the Director of Admissions will refer students who have submitted a complete petition to the Admissions Individual Review Committee for review. If the petition lacks substantive evidence of potential to be academically successful at EOU, the Director of Admissions may, after initial screening, deny the petition without full committee review.
