Criteria for Second Degree Students
You are considered a second-degree student if you already have a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or an equivalent degree and want to obtain another undergraduate degree. Each academic department determines the specific admissions criteria for second-degree students.
Students holding a bachelor’s degree or higher who wish to enroll for the purpose of obtaining an Initial Michigan Provisional Teaching Certificate should apply as a second-degree seeking student.
Students pursuing a second degree will pay
upper-level tuition.
Steps to Apply for Second Degree Students
- Complete the online application.
- Have your official college transcript(s) from each college or university you attended mailed to:
Undergraduate Admissions
North Foundation Hall, Room 101
318 Meadow Brook Road
Rochester, MI 48309-4454
The transcript must bear the seal of the institution and must not be stamped "issued to student." If you have attended more than one college, transcripts from each must be provided.
Once Oakland University receives your application, we will:
- Process your application to ensure all materials have been received.
- Gather information needed for the academic department to make an admissions decision.

When a decision is made, OU will contact you via U.S. mail. If you receive a delay decision, you should contact Undergraduate Admissions at (800) OAK-UNIV or (248) 370-3360.
Criteria for Post-Baccalaureate Students
You are considered a post-baccalaureate student if you already have a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or an equivalent degree and want to take additional courses not related to another degree.
Under post-baccalaureate status, your previous academic work will not be evaluated by the registrar and you will be admitted as a non-degree seeking candidate.
Students taking post-baccalaureate courses will pay
upper-level tuition. Under this status, you do not qualify for financial aid.
Students who already hold a bachelor's degree and wish to audit an undergraduate course should apply as a post-baccalaureate student.
