Promoting Access and Success for Students

The Proficiency-based Admission Standards System (PASS) is designed to align admission to Oregon University System schools with the standards and performance measures for K-12.

Created through a partnership between the Board of Higher Education and the Board of Education, PASS gives students better preparation for college by making sure they have the required knowledge and skills.

The PASS Transitions documents, which show Oregon standards for Grade 8,CIM/CAM,
and PASS in a side-by-side format, are now available for English, Mathematics, Science, and
Social Science.

2007 Standards are now available for Math, English, Science, Arts, and Social Science.
