Registration

Thank you for your interest in Oregon State University's Natural Resources Leadership Academy. The steps for attending the academy are outlined below.

International Students & Professionals:

CREDIT: If you are planning to obtain graduate credit for your participation in NRLA, you'll need to contact the OSU International Student Advising and Services office (email: isfs.advisor@oregonstate.edu or Tel. 541-737-6310) to confirm you meet or can meet the necessary criteria for obtaining a 'non-degree' admission to OSU. Once confirmed and completed, then submit your NRLA pre-registration by completing Step 1 below and await instructions to finalize your registration.

NON-CREDIT: If you are planning to participate in NRLA as a non-credit/professional workshop attendee and do not currently have access to the US by means of a particular Visa, then it's likely you will need to obtain a B-1/B-2 Visa. To assist, if you provide us with your legal name, address and course(s) you plan to attend at NRLA each week, then we will provide you with the appropriate invitation letter for use in obtaining your Visa. Please submit your request to Maurine Powell at 541-737-3993 [800-375-9359 ext. 7-3993], maurine.powell@oregonstate.edu. Once your Visa is obtained, then submit your NRLA pre-registration by completing Step 1 below and await instructions to finalize your registration.

Step 1: Pre-registration

All participants are required to submit a pre-registration request and $50 fee (non-refundable), which includes selection of your course(s). There are limited seats in each course and permission to fully register in a course(s) is contingent on successfully completing the pre-registration process.

Step 2: OSU Non-degree admit application

If you are participating in NRLA for 'credit' and are not a current OSU student you will need to submit an OSU non-degree admit application (PDF instructions below) along with a one-time non-refundable $25 application fee.

Step-by-step instructions for completing the non-degree admit process (PDF, 303KB)

International Students: If you are currently on a visa (for example the F-1, F-2, B-2, J-1, etc.) it is critical that you consult with OSU's International Student Advising and Services (email: isfs.advisor@oregonstate.edu or Tel. 541-737-6310) before submitting the non-degree application for admission. Please be aware that only certain visa types allow an individual to pursue part-time or non-degree seeking coursework. Consequences of doing so may result in failure to maintain visa status.
