Forms, information for prospective student-athletes.
We guarantee entering freshmen admitted to a degree program the necessary classes will be available to complete a baccalaureate degree in four academic years of full-time study. If a student meets the academic expectations described below and cannot graduate after four years because of course unavailability, we will enroll the student in the remaining course or courses necessary to meet graduation requirements tuition free.
We guarantee entering transfer students admitted to a degree program the necessary classes will be available to insure timely completion of a baccalaureate degree. Before students enroll, they will receive a transfer credit evaluation indicating their progress toward a degree in their chosen field of study. If a transfer meets the academic expectations described below and because of course unavailability cannot graduate as the credit evaluation and college catalog suggest, we will enroll the student in the additional course or courses necessary to meet graduation requirements tuition free.
We guarantee continued availability of small classes because we believe these offer students the opportunity for invaluable interaction with faculty. Oswego faculty serve as mentors to students, helping shape futures.
We guarantee students entering Oswego in fall 2012 will not experience any increase in the cost of room or meal plans for four consecutive years if they continue to live in comparable living arrangements. This means the major portion of the cost of a residential education will hold constant for four years.
