EOP Summer Program:

First year students admitted to SUNY Oswego through EOP are required to attend a mandatory four to five week EOP summer program in July prior to the start of the fall semester. Transfer students do not need to attend.

EOP Transfer Students


If you were enrolled in EOP, HEOP, College Discovery, SEEK or similar type program at a previous institution, you are eligible for EOP at SUNY Oswego. The admissions office will verify your status with your prior college. If you’ve attended an institution that does not offer EOP or similar programs, contact the Office of Admissions regarding eligibility requirements.  

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. However, applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible in order to receive the fullest possible consideration. Please visit the transfer admissions website for steps on how to submit your application.
