Visiting and Exchange Students

Welcome to the Portland State School of Business!

Students who wish to take courses at the Portland State School of Business but who are completing a degree at another institution will need to follow some simple instructions before registering for courses at PSU:

1. Become admitted to Portland State University, either through an exchange program or as a visiting student. Students planning to take 8 credits or less may enroll at PSU with the Quick Entry form. Students planning on taking more than 8 credits may enroll at PSU through PSU Admissions.
   
   
2. Students who wish to take 300- or 400-level business classes must demonstrate the following, either by filling out the Special Permission- Visiting Student Status form (PDF) and having it signed by the student’s advisor at their home school, or by bringing in transcript histories to SBA 240:
   • Class standing – Students must have 90 quarter credits to register for 300 and 400 level classes.
   • Prerequisites – Students must meet course prerequisites. See Course Information for more information.

Students who meet these requirements can be stamped into the class (if there is room in the class) in SBA 240. The computer system does not recognize class standing or prerequisites for visiting or exchange students. As a result, visiting and exchange students must manually register for courses in SBA 240.
