Pre-qualification

To take any OMSE course, you must have at least two years of software development experience evidenced through a resume or similar document. Certain courses specify pre-requistes - you should identify prior courses or undergraduate programs that satisfy these pre-requisites (see courses page). Email your document(s) to omse@omse.pdx.edu. The OMSE Program Office will review your information to qualify and approve you for registering in the course - typically within 3 working days.

Getting a PSU ID and PIN for First-Time PSU Students

If you have never registered for a course before at PSU, you will first need to complete and submit a Quick Entry form. Download PSU Quick Entry Form and FAX it to the OMSE office at (503)725-3211.

Registering in OMSE Courses

Once you receive a PSU ID and PIN you will be able to register in OMSE courses via the PSU Student Information System. Quick Entry students are able to start registering in courses approximately 3 weeks prior to the first day of the term. If you have forgotten your PIN, you will need to have your password reset by calling the PSU Help Desk at (503)725-4357 or by sending an email to help@pdx.edu.

Getting an ODIN Account

Most OMSE courses use PSU Online to access course materials. You will therefore need a PSU ODIN account number and password which you can get by following this link www.account.pdx.edu (you will be asked to use your PSU ID number and PIN).

Course Registration Numbers (CRNs)

Every course offering is assigned a Course Registration Number. CRNs for the current term can be found on the course schedule page.

PSU Graduate Students: If you have been admitted to a PSU graduate program, contact the OMSE program office at omse@omse.pdx.edu to register for OMSE courses.
